DUPIEX-a new name
A closed and open car combined the
advantages of both at an open car price !

NNE minute the DUPLEX is a comfort
~ able, weather tight closed car deeply
cushioned and richly appointed. IN less than
thirty seconds it becomes delightful open
car with all the unhindered freedom every
motorist likes and enjoys It's double utility
satisfied most urgent need-it is as revolu-
tionary as the seH-starter and electric lights.
And the price IS the same as That of the
open car with advantages in finish, ut
tings, room and comfort no open car could
ever give!
Framed and shaped in steel, the upper part
of the Duplex Body is built integrally with
the lower part-it functions perfectly with
the lower part-it is permanently beautiful.
But even without the "double-value" of
the Duplex Body the new Standard Six
would still be the same great Studebaker
success. For its introduction marks the
beginning of an era in the automobile in
dustry when fine cars ofreal quality, plenty
of room and comfort impressive appear
ance splendid power and performance may
be had at a price the average buyer can
afford to pay.

Surprising mechanical superiority is obvi-
Gus in every mile you drive it. Power,
srnoothness, Silence you expect in any good
six-cylinder car; but in this great car your
expectations will be exceeded You cannot
anticipate such perfornance-perfection in
any car even within hundreds of dollars of
the new Studebaker STANDARD Six price.
The proof is easy to establish - drive
it yourself, try it out on your favorite hill,
test its speed on the straight-away. Sense
what lease of operation really means in
terms of effortless steering, velvety clutch
action, easy gear shifting and instant brake
application.
Experience what real comfort means in
plenty of room, soft deep cushions; genuine
balloon tires; long, supple springs.
The new Standard Six will tell you story
as it has never been told before by any other
car at the Standard Six price.
Whether you are in the market now or
next year-you should see this new Stude-
baker. 1t is car that will revoutionize
values in the automobile Industry
