BIGGER COACH
MANUFACTURED
BY STUDEBAKER

Bringing to coach construction
added power, added wheelbase, add
ed size and outfitting, StudebakeT'
announces this week another bodv
type for it's already complete line
the special six coach.
The extra power comes from it's
sixty-five- horsepower engine. The
wheelbase is 120 inches, and dddi-
tional comfort of superlative ma
ture comes from the full balloon
tires with 6.2-inch castings, which
are standard equipment.
This extra size and power has en-
abled the builder to give this new
body type smartness that sets it
apart from all cars to which the
term coach has been applied.
Wyandotte green lacquer = the
rich, deep color tone of shaded
ferns and luxuriant woodlands is
the color selected for the main
body. The upper structure is in
black duro luster lacquer. The
body is fun steel paneled, no sac
rifice having been made of body
rigidity.
Cushions, sides and doors are
upholstered in walnut brown, genu-
inc millaise, the new mohair and
wool fabric, and the headlining is
a similar chase weave.
The doors are wider than the in
terror doors of a house, enabling
passengers to enter or leave the
car without evicting the occupant
of the front auxiliary seat. The
rear-quarter windows, with their
wide expanse, provide rear seat
passengers with a "sunparlor"
openness of vision. Both doors
have aluminium sills. Interior
hardware is heavily nickeled. Win
dow lifts are of the crank type and
the dome light has it's switch right
at the light for convenience.
The windshield is the one-piece.
fully ventilated type, with rear
view mirror, automatic cleaner and,
outside, hooded pressed steel
visor, leather covered. The walnut
finish instrument board, backed
with three-ply, laminated wood.
groups it's instruments under one
oval glass, protected, and lighted
Indirectly. Instruments include
speedometer, ammeter, oil gauge.
clock and gallon gasoline gauge
showing exactly the amount OF fuel
in the tank at all times.
All those betterments that
marked the 1925 special six chassis
are here. An aluminium floorboard
shuts out all dust, drafts and nox-
ious gases, and a spherical accel-
orator permits driving with the foot
flat on the floorboard.
Gone is the old emergency brake
lever, occupying important space.
Now it projects out and down from
the instrument board, more easily
grasped, but out of the way.
A safety arrangement which wins
wide acclaim is the installation on
the steering wheel of all lighting
controls, so they may be operated
without taking the eyes from the
road at critical times. Spark ad-
vance being automatically operated
by the engine itself, the spark lever
is taken off the steering wheel; the
driver has one less control to
watch
The valve beside the engine for
draining the crankcase without
soiling the hands; completely
waterproofed ignition system; cleo
tric wiring in metal conduits; larg-
er radiator and unit power plant
resting on it's own subframe to free
it from road torsions-t these are
some of the betterments.
Throughout the whole car the su-
perlative-customary high quality
Studebaker construction = obtains,
including the higher, deeper, wider
cushions and the use of running
board mats of pure rubber vulcan
lied to steel plates and then bound
to the board by aluminium.
Added beauty of line, visible
strength and power; greater wheel
base and the great sixty-five-horse
power engine; dignity of coloring
and appearance; in every respect a
bigger car-this is the superla-
tive Studebaker special six coach
