:! sistently used, and which has more than proved its worth in competi- i tive trial the world over. In the | Stakeholder Six, power has been in- ] creased to 80 horsepower, enhance i ing it's proved championship cali

 erful six in it's price class.
 Bohnalite aluminium alloy pis-
 tons are used in President and
 Commander Flights. The Dictator
 Eight and Studebaker Six are ] equipped with newly developed | plated cast iron piston, which .rep-
 resents a unique advance in piston
 construction. These new pistons
 particularly we'll adapted to the smaller engine models, permit a closer-fitting, freer-acting, self lu- l bricating piston surface which re- duces scoring adn prevents piston slap.
 Super smoothness is matched by l super silence in the new cars. Ex- ] haustive research by Studebaker engineers into acoustic science has | led to the successful damping of all extraneous noise, not only in the engine. but in chassis and body as well. Metal spring covers are standard throughout the line. This important innovation, which even
 extends to the lowest-priced mod els, puts an end once and for all to the nerve-wracking annoyance
 of spring squeaks. Spring covers
 effectively eliminate all noise from this source, because they act
 as a lubricant seal, and assure
 constant and adequate spring lu- brication at all times.
 rho cat ha aoir y1n nin1no rf of hcient sound damping have also
 been applied to engines and bodies.
 All motors are equipped with a
 unique carburetor silencer, and a
 new full-power muffler of inn
 proved type. These, together with
 the inherent quietness of Free Wheeling plus Synchro-Shifting, and new non-resonant body design,
 combine to produce an operation uncannily silent.
 Non-resonant body construction in the new models Is obtained by thorough insulation against heat and cold and noise. Sponge rubber or other insulating materials have
 been gerously applied to all body panels and doors, front floor boards Gall floor boards in the larger models), and in roof con- StruCllOn. DdSH DOdTuS DetWeen the engine and driving compart- ment are insulated on both sides. These precautions absolutely elimi- | nate rumbling and drumming, and render riding restfull pleasure in the new Studebakers.
 The vast improvement which has been wrought in interior comfort dimensions is emphasized by the following betterments: Seats are wider and show an average in- crease Cat shoulder leveD of about l 1-2 to 1-2 inches in front and inches in the rear. This added width in rear seats-the wid- est rear seat built to-day-accom- modates three passengers with comfort. Front seats are approx imately 2 1-2 inches deeper from seat back to leading edge. Seat backs are higher, providing better shoulder support. Leg room has been increased. Front doors, which are sloping to conform with the new body design, are from one-half to ? 1-2 inches wider at q point just below the window | sills, and give from 3 to inches more toe room for easier entrance and exit. These outstanding di- mensional Improvements have been obtained by the new "over- hang" mounting of the body on the frame, and by wider rear tread.
