NEW STUDEBAKER
COACH is A HIGH
QUALITY MACHINE

into the automobile market this
week with a new standard of con-
struction for this type of car.
Built for the same longtime
ownership and service of all Stu
debaker products, the standard six
coach, on a 113-inch wheelbase and
with a fifty-horsepower engine,
teens with quality of construction.
Striking, in the appearance of its
Belgian blue, low-swung body, with
black satin finish lacquered top,
new coach contains full steel pan
els, and the same high quality of
body building by this pioneer We
hicle-making company.
The chassis is the full standard
six chassis, which has set new
records in the industry for reliabil-
ity and durability. Tires are full
balloons, around the lines of which
the whole body-and even the fen
ders-has been built to conform.
Roominess is one of the outstand-
ing characteristics of this coach.
Ample clearance between folding
seat and the doorpost; wide cush-
ions for the driver and the passen-
ger of the folding seat; plenty of
leg room for all passengers; these
are conspicuous.
The broad doors provide for easy
entrance; rear windows are nearly
as wide as the doors. Tie rear
seat back is high, giving restful
riding quality.
Upholstery is woven from mohair
and wool, rich in its grey-blue col
oring with grey stripe effect on
ushions-handsome and durable.
1t covers the same deep, springy,
durable cushions which have given
Studebaker cars a reputation for
riding comfort notsreached in any
other car at any price.
The back of the folding seat can
be tilted forward to enable rear
seat passengers to enter or leave
the car without forcing occupants
of the folding seat to get out.
Radiator cap is winged and orna-
mented in enamel Running boards
are aluminum-bound on all four
sides, clasping heavy, navy limo
leum mat, rubber cemented under
pressure to the board itself, so it
won't crease or ruffle up.
Inside the car, an automatic
windshield cleaner and rear-Yiew
mirror; gasoline gauge showing
gallons, assembled with all the
other instruments under one oval
glass, indirectly lighted, to protect
them and give the driver at one
glance complete graph of how his
whole car is operating; mono
gram plate-these are driver con-
veniences, as is the one-piece, fully
ventilated windshield Rear-quar-
ter and door window Regulators are
of the crank type.
Garnish moulding on door sills
and rear-quarter windows is of
walnut finish Doors have attrac-
lively gathered pockets and the
rear window is shielded by silk
curtain.
Wheels are natural wood finish.
There is combination stop and
tail light. The rear tire carrier has
a thief-proof lock and the gasoline
with a heavy steel apron.
The Studebaker coach has a cowl
ventilator, operated with the foot,
and, inside, the drivers floor board
is of heavy, embossed aluminium,
shutting out all dust and cold
drafts. Cowl lights are of distinc-
tive, torpedo shape. The dome light
has it's switch right on the light it
self.
All this is mounted on the Stand
ard six chassis without a single
elimination or curtailment. This
means the big fifty-horsepower en-
CINE which has already established
so many records with it's reserve
of power.
1t means big, powerful brakes
largest braking area in proportion
to car weight on any car; the ex-
traordinary ease of steering that
special engineering gave, in de-
signing the steering equipment to
accommodate the big, full-sized bal
loon tires. And the same heavy
tenders, wider and with deeper
overhang than on almost any other
car, fitted to the deep heavy frame
with six crossmembers for rigidity.
The entire lighting control has
been placed on the steering wheel,
right at finger tips, so that, to dim
the lights, a driver need not take
his eyes from the road at critical
time, nor need he grope under the
wheel in the dark, hunting for the
switch
The emergency brake lever pro-
jects out from and under the in
strument board, out of the way, yet
grasped more easily than before
Spark advance has been made
automatic, timing itself exactly by
the speed of the engine, and the
driver has one less thing to think
about. The spark advance lever
has been taken from the steering
wheel, as result.
To end foot fatigue, ball-type
foot accelerator is provided, to
which pressure may be applied
from any point of its circumfer-
ence; now the foot may resta flatly
and comfortably on the aluminium
footboard, which shuts out all dust
and cold drafts.
