series II Studebaker six-cylinder and
four-cylinder came in the nature of a
double triumph for the Studebaker cor
poration. For not only has this giant or
ganization maintained Studebaker quail
ity in its latest product. while effecting
IL added retinements and in several in
stances reducing prices: it is further
startling the. public by announcing that
shipments of the new cars have been
going forward for the past two months
so that more than 5000 dealers already
are able to show the series l! models.
The basic design of the series II cars
show no radical changes. The mechan-
zeal principles that have proven success
full are retained intact.
The new retinementS have been in the
direction of securing greater roominess
and comfort along with still further con-
veniences In spite of these added feat

Another contribution to ease in driv-
ing Is the removal of the cowl board for
ward and upward thus gaining more leg
room. and the more compact grouping of
instruments upon the cowl. The arrange
ment is unique. Illumination of the m
struments are secured by a new indi-
rect lighting system.
By moving the gasoline tank from the
the Steward vacuum feed system to in
sure steady supply of gasoline at all
times. more room is obtained in the
front Of the car.
Several refinements that anticipate the
wishes of drivers are the provision OF a
radiator guard TO prevent mud flom

cowl board, and the tapping OF the upper
glass. thus rendering the windshield alb

The motor has a three seven eighth inch
bore and five inch stroke. developing 40
