New Car Has Open and
Closed Features
A creation originated by Stude
baker. which, it is believed, will SUI
persede the present day open car Is
the new Duplex body. This new Stu
debaker is. an open car which can
he converted magically in five sec
onds into a waterproof, snug and dry
closed car of unsurpassing beauty
This new Duplex Studebaker body is
an outstanding sensation.
This car has unusually beautiful
lines, the finest Spanish leather up
holstery and an unusual number OF
equipment features.
Studebaker announces an entirely
new Standard Six which takes the
place of the former Light Six and
while it follows mechanically tne
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 bod
les. not only in the new Standard Six
but in the other two models, the Spe-
cial Six and the Big Six.
The new duplex body on the Stan
dard Six at the announced price OF
S1,145 for the fve-passenger phaeton
and S1,125 for the three passenger
roadster marks real opportunity
for the buyer who likes an open car
and also the comfort and protection
of a closed car. Studebaker claims
that it can satisfy both demands and
at the price of the open car.
A New FOur-Passenger Closed Car
Among the fifteen bodies there is
an entirely new, four-passenger VIC
toria on the Special Six Chassis
This is the cozy, compact, comfort
able fOur-passenger car with the
drivers seat slightly forward and for
the fourth passenger there is an aux
iliary seat which folds under the
dash when not in use. The lines OF
this new four-passenger Victoria are
especially original, distinctive and
beautiful. The finish is in lustrous
varnish in dark blue similar to that
of the Special Six and the Big Six
Sedans and Coupes.
Three New Berlines
On each of its three chasses Stu
debaker provides a Berline type OF |
body, a fve-passenger on the Stand
ard Six and Special Six and seven
passenger on the Big Six. This type
of car separates the drivers COM
f.
ment with a sliding glass partition.
AS customary, Studebaker has up
holstered all of it's closed cars in
the finest mohair, which is an ex-
pensive and beautiful fabric, and the
colors have been chosen to blend
beautifully with the extraordinary
finish of the cars. The fittings of the
closed cars include cut-glass read
ing and dome lamps, bell silver fin
ished vanity sets, smoking sets, door
handles and other metal parts;
heavy wool carpets. All Of the usual
elegance found in the very finest
closed cars are present in all the
new Studebakers.
Three of the closed models in the
Standard Six chassis introduce an
in beautiful colors. The
lower panels are in light gray and
the upper panels in dark gray. The
is marked with parallel |
hair line stripping.
All of the Studebaker closed bod ,
les are made by the Studebaker Cor ,
poration in its gigantic new body
plant, the last of which, costing ten {
million dollars, was finished in 1928.
It is claimed that these modern =
plants with the very latest modern
are responsible for great 7
savings effected in manufacture and 7
his accounts for the obvious splen-
lid quality of Studebaker cars at the
prices offered-the prices for the :
closed cars range from $1,995 for the
Standard Six three-passenger Coupe
.oadster to S2860 for the Big Six
Berline. '
Real Balloon Tires Regular 7

Studebaker was among the very
Irst of automobile manufacturers to 8
genuine balloon tires as =

Lines Designed to Harmonic
With Big Tires q
Studebaker probably is the first 4,
.merican manufacturer to design a n
ar, not only mechanically but from
he standpoint of appearance for r
enuine balloon tires. Big wide fond- n
