NEW STUDEBAKER
SIX AUTOMOBILE
is UHTRA-SMART


Studebaker line, of it's three six-cyl-
inder cars, has features which make
it unlike any other automobile seen
on American thoroughfares, automo-
tive engineers declare.
New body lines, developed after two
years of secret study behind closed
doors by Studebaker body engineers,
suggest the latest refinements of de-
signing, yet are wholly original in eff
feet.
The two standard six duplex models
are revolutionary step in automo-
tive design. There is a duplex phae-
ton, seating passengers, and the g.
passenger duplex roadster. They are
cars of the most original and striking
beauty.
These new duplex models-which
are also offered on the newly designed
special and big sixes-solve the open
closed car problem it is widely agreed
by motorists and engineers. For they
combine, it Is pointed out, the adVan-
tages of old-type open cars with the
comfort and snug protection of the
closed car.
This new principle in design is an
upperstructure of steel-light but
very strong, which is an integral unit
of the body This upper structure has
three plate glass windows, and side
enclosing curtains that operate on
powerful spring-rollers, all concealed
inside the upper section. By this nov
ell side-enclosure, wind-tight, rain
proof protection is instantly provided
when need arises.
With the duplex body, the touring
radius of motorists is vastly increas-
ed. They need fear neither wind nor
rain. While they now must endure
drenching, struggling to fit on the
curtains, the new car is converted in
5 seconds into a snug, dry CLOSED
car" as cOzy as the family fireside.
Another radical forward step in mo-
tor car building is the announcement
by Studebaker that closed models of
the new standard-six will be finished
in lacquer new and permanent
finish that enriches the car with
dull satin tone. Color scheme, too, is
very new and smart-light gray
bodies with upper panels in dark gray.
The new cowl and head lights, the
new radiator and hood all serve to
make the standard six most distin-a
guished and unusually fine-looking.
The new standard six is more pow
erful and heavier than the light six
of previous years. 1t continues how
ever the Observation-Disclosures Offset
valve type engine, but the fuse power
has been increased rs per cent. The
new engine, refined for power and
smOOthnesS, has a. removable head,
perfectly machined firing chambers,
cylinders ground to exact limits, and
the unusual Studebaker feature, in
car at near this price, of crankshaft
and connecting rods machined on all
surfaces.
Like the special-six and the big-six,
the engine in the new standard-six is
now a unit power plant. This car, it
is claimed, has one of the easiest gear
shifting systems ever put on motor
cars.
Huge, genuine balloon tires, with
natural second growth hickory wheels,
dAO IC5uIdA cQulpluSuC uS
gear has been specially designed for
ease in handling with balloon tires,
a point women appreciate. Very large
and powerful 2-wheel brakes will be
regular equipment.
Optional are Studebaker's new hy-
draulic 4-wheel brakes. These are the
first hydraulic brakes that operate by
power of motor, rather than drivers
foot, ever used on an American car
They are absolutely non-locking. A
new emergency brake operates from
a lever on the DASH multiplying brak-
ing effort times, through the pro-
pellor shaft.
A new bumper attachment, front
and rear, prevents the usual weaken
ing of the frame and the marring of
the looks of the car The 19-gallon
gas tank is a 3-seam container, seams
solder-soaked, leak-proof 1t is pro-
tected by an attractive dust shield.
Regular equipment include: sun
visor, automatic windshield cleaner,
cowl ventilator, electric horn, carpet
covered foot rest, robe rail, walnut
finished instrument board with instru-
ments grouped under glass and set on
silver background indirectly light
ed, including clock, ammeter, oil pres
sure guage, gasoline guage In ad-
dition, there is stop light, tire car
rier with lock, and spare rim.
Studebaker designers say many cars
in much higher price classes do not
possess the upholstery that's going in
to the new standard-six The duplex
phaeton, duplex roadster and coupe
roadster, for instance, have genuine
chrome tanned Spanish grain leather
on cushions and seat backs. The
closed models have mohair of fine
quality. The color is a rich light
taupe. Cushions have specially-made
coil springs with coil spring side-ties
to increase comfort, steel frames with
quilted upholstery covering, cotton
burlap backing, genuine curled hair
cover. The seats are placed at cor
