LIGHT-SIX motor. Its complete. lymachined crank-shaft and con- meeting rods will not be found in any other light weightcar yetpro- duced in this country. This con- struction reduces wear and strain on the bearings and the moving parts, and means longer life and smoother riding qualities. You can have the advantage of this motors wonderful gasoline economy and the satisfaction of its smoothness of operation only by owning a Studebaker LIGHT- SIX.
