STUDEBAKER MAKES
!, SWEEPING CHANGES
Entirely N&w Type Open and
Closed Car Being Marketed
+. From South Bend Now

The big news of the week in the
automobile world is Studebaker's
announcement OF new models.
Because of the dominating posi-
ton which this manufacturer holds,
motorists throughout the city have
been flocking to the Studebaker
showrooms to see these newest
achievements in motoring luxurics.
There are Is entirely new Stude
baker models, and each model is a
complete refinement of the previous
line. The designs are new-some-
thing never before seen on Ameri-
can automobile. Studebaker has
again pioneered in distinctive We
hicle building.
Motorists are new offered by
Studebaker the following new lire:
An entirely new type Of open and
closed car, new medium weight
six. a new 4-passenger closed car,
optional 4-wheel brakes of remaE-
able design, genuine balloon tires =
Is original and distinctive new
bodies.
A creation originated by Stude-
baker, which, it is believed, viii
supersede the present day open car
is the new Duplex body. This new
Studebaker is an open car which
can be converted magically in five
seconds into waterproof, snug and
dry, closed car of unsurpassing
beauty. This new Duplex Stude-
baker body is an outstanding SEN
sation.
This car has unusually beautiful
lines, the finest Spanish leather up
holstery and an unusual number of
equipment features.
Studebaker announces an entire
ly new Standard Six which takes
the place of the former Light Six
and while it follows mechanically
the general design of that car it has
a new and larger motor, the entire
car is larger, heavier and much more
beautiful and has much more room.
Of course the new duplex body en-
tirely supersedes the former open
touring car and open roadster
bodies, not only in the new Stand
ard Six but in the other two models,
the Special Six and the Big Six.
Among the fifteen bodies there
is an entirely new, passenger
Victoria on the Special Six Chassis.
This is the cozy, compact, comfort
able four-passenger car with thu
drivers seat slightly forward and
for the fourth passenger there is
an auxiliary seat which folds under
the dash when not in use. The lines
of this new four-passenger Victoria
6re especially original, distinctive
and beautiful. The finish is in
lustrous varnish in dark blue SIM
liar to that of the Special Six and
the Big Six Sedans and Coupes.
Of course Studebaker has made
a great many minor changes, bet
terments and refinements in all the
mechanical parts of its car.
Notably the engine now is in
unit with the clutch and transmits
sion, but even more important than
that new force feed oiIing system
has been designed introducing an.
entirely new feature.
The entire amount of oil is pump
ed through the motor three times
for every mile of travel Under a
varying pressure of fifteen to
twenty-five pounds, according to
the speed.
Studebaker still retains the me-
dunn compression low speed design
the same as that employed by prac-
tically all of the leading makers of
this country.
