NO CHANGE IN MODEL
OF 1913 STUDEBAKER

r. T. Hodgkins. sales manager Of
the Studebaker corporation. is au-
thority for the statement that Stude-
baker does not contemplate a change
in models this year. In making
public this information Mr. Hodg-
kins says: In our opinion Stude-
baker engineers have reached a
point Of near perfection in the Series
IS cars. our engineers have been
concentrating on the one basis de-
sign now for the past four years and
have, naturally enough, been able 10
constantly improve and retne our
product. They have taken ADVANTAGE
OF the splendid opportunity 10 OBJ
serve the performance OF 500. 600
Studebaker cars in the hands Of
owners, in every part OF the world.
and through this experience of ac-
tUal service the Series IS Stude-
baker cars have been evolved. per
sonally I believe that our engineers
have given us one Of the best cars
in the world, regardless of price.
There's really no good reason why
we should announce new models at
this time, in fact I can say def
nitely there will be no change in
models this year.
