could drive the car ali day without any
discomfort.
OF il2- inch wheel base. the new
Studebaker has a 49-hoUepoWor six
cylinder motor, and the car weighs
complete but $500 pounds. Cord tires
are 32Nt inches and wheels are steel
feflood.
So perfectly Is the new car balanced
that the chassis can be either halved
or quartered. and each section viii
show the same weight. Because Of this
even distribution Of weight the new
Studehaker Light Six in severe tests
preceding its announcement proved its
ability % hold the road AZ speeds IN
Ger conditions where heavier, less scicn-
tifiCslly balanced cars showed a ten
denCy toward sidesway.
Other outstanding and exceptional
features In the new car are numerous.
The motor Of 3is inch bore by ~ inch
stroke, with aluminium detachable head.
Is notable not only for its accessibility
and clean c design. but also for its
truly wonderful economy. This econ
omy Is secured by mean Of a unique
feature which converts every drop OF
gasoline into power with no possibility
Of waste, and the performance and gem
eral efficiency OF the new car are In
consequence remarkable.
A feature for which a patent applica-
ton has been made. the internal hot
spot which surrounds each shark pluR.
secures better IMPORTATION, a hotter fuel.
greater economy and better combus-
ton. All these result from the fact
that tho incoming gas. after being thor
oughly Napori1ed by passing over the
hot combustion chamber. hits this un-
jacketed hot spot the instant II gets
through the inlet valve. This hot spot
Is controlled and never becomes ex-
cessively hot. Part Of the intake mani
fold Is In contact with the water mani
fold. The flow Of cold water is faster
as the speed OF the motor Ia increased,
so that the water remains at a con-
stant temperature. This exclusive con-
stTuction takes the best from the air
cooled motor and combines with II the
obvious advantages Of the water-cooled
type.
Inclined valve action. found only in
one imported car and in one OF the
highest priced American motors, is a
feature OF the new S~tudehaker Light
Six. with this new type Of valve action,
where the valves are inclined at an
angle Of 20 degrees, and with the new
intake manifold design, the gases in
the combustion chamber are not de-
Elected In any way. There Is prac-
tically a straight line passage into the
combustion chamber, providing maxi
mum economy, perfect combustion and
precluding the possibility Of any UNI
.vaportzed gasoline lying On top Of or
seeping down past the pistons.
The Light Six is the only car, with
the exception Of two selling consider
ably over 5000, that has the crank
shaft and connecting rods machined all
over, These machining operations in

DRIVER
: SEEKS SPORTSMAN

Jean Porporato. one OF the most cell
ebrated Of European racing drivers, Is
looking for an American sportsman to
join him in an attempt to win the next
international 500-mile sweepstakes race
on the Indianapolis motor ~speedway.
Monday, May 81. 1920.
Porporato has secured an option on a
special 1S3-cubic inch engine designed
by Cauzin, n Of the most famous
French engineers. The power deveioped
by the engine is 100 h. D., and il was
recently run on the block eight con-
secutive days and nights at 5000 revo-
buttons per minute without a stop. Civ
ing sufficient indication as to its stay
ing power.
1t is Po~rporato's plan to drop this en-
CINE into a chassis and to try for the
Hons share of the speedway's $780, 600
IN prize money, provided he can find
some American sportsman or factory to
back him in the venture. His own H.
nances are low at present, due to his
having just beer released from the
army after four years of service.
Porporato estimates the cost of car
rying out his plan, to be not in excess
Of 10000 francs. which, at the present
low rate of exchange figures about So
600. Communications can be addressed
to P0rporato, care of w. F. Bradley,
Chemtn des Coteaux, Rueil Is. &c o.,
France, or to the Indianapolis Motor
Speedway company.

In the following letter addressed 10

which has been granted. His letter
follows:
First OF all. I want to congratulate
you and also California, upon your es-

foresight and Industrial vision and the
commanding position your company
holds in the business world have a tre-
mendous influence upon the prosperity

is to secure Goodyear cord tires and l

early.
with best wishes for an overwhelm-
ing success in your new California
plant, and hoping that my order may

eepted, l am, sincerely,
DOUGLAS FAIRBANKS
There is no question that the versa
tile Doug will put his first Callfor-
nia-bred cords through a series OF
stunts worthy of their famous owner.
He may mount them while doing a
hand stand and do a few 75-mile an
hour thrillers on the rim of the Grand

In the Nash shops are employed
1000 skilled workmen. A large pro-
portion of these men are expert me-

others had been trained in Nash man

STUDEBAKER AAS
NEW SENSATION
Light Six Is One of the Fea-
lures of the Big
Show.

Sprihgtng sensations at automobile
shows has become a S~tudebaker habit.
but perhaps the greatest one yet pro-
duced is the appearance Of the new stu
dehaksr Light Six. Colncident with its
advent ut the motor show II is an
nouneed that the entire facilities Of the
great $500 900 factories now nearing
completion in South Bend, Ind, will be
devoted to the manufacture Of this
model
Visitors attending the show this year
VIII recall the famous S~tudebaktr Gold
Chassis and Gold Car, features Of pre-
vtous shows, both Of which we're sent
the length and breadth Of the land and
then 70 foreign countries. In the course
OF thir travels they were viewed by
milliens Of people.
And now the new car is hailed by its
makers as the worlds greatest light
six" and judging from the crowds that
have gathered about IL and the interest
displayed in it, this car is considered
not only unusual but revolutionary in
its design,
The new Light SIX ranks as the first
car at its price equipped with cord tires,
which today are on all OF the most eN-
penSiYe motor cars. As a matter Of
fact numerous features Of priced
motor cars are TO be found in the Stude-
baker Light Six.
A hurried inspection at the show gives
only a slight conception Of how much
class this new car really has, II looks
a great deal longer than II Is because Of
the rakish cut Of the body, The high,
narrow radiator is particularly pleasing
and the lines of the lustrous black en-
ameled body are low and graceful
viewed from any angle. Even the wind
shield Is tipped at a clever angle aud
the tenders have a neat hug which is
convincing,
Outstanding features are such little
things not usually found in cars Of this
price, like plate glass oval windows in
rear Of a distinctive gypsy top, outside
door handles, double dimming head
lights, Limousine footboard and other
luxurious trimmings, The upholstery
Is OF genuine leather and both drivers

on the p%tstons and better balance re-

Among other noteworthy features are
a convenient and accessible adjustment
for taking up wear on the chain used
in driving the timing gears; three point
suspension for motor and transmission,
straight line frame construction with rfV
offsets, oil treated nickel steel trans
mission gears. and a construction that
obtains straight direct line drive with

VALUE AND VOLUME
NASH MOTORS POLICY

The performance OF h~igh-grade pas
enger cars and trucks in the past two
years has broadened their range OF
use to such a marked degree that the
demand, for some time to come, seems
certain to exceed the rapidly increas-
ing supply. The standing Of the Nash
Motors company with respect to the
caliber of the men directing it, its am
pie finances, its methods of doing bust
ness n it's machinery for the manu-
facture and sale of its products assure
value cars as well as volume produc-
ton.
The men directing the activities of
the Nash Motors company are of proved
ability, Their long and successful rec
ords in the automobile industry stamp
them as men in whom the automobile
public may have implicit confidence.
