STUDEBAKER herewith announces the discontinuance of the custom of
presenting a new line of automobiles each year. Instead of bringing Stude
baker Cars dramatically up-to-date once in twelve months, we shall keep thetn
up-to-date all of the time with every improvement and refinement made avail
able by our great engineering and manufacturing resources. This policy not only
directly benefits present Studebaker owners, but it also enables purchasers of new
cars to obtain models that are always modern without the necessity of 'waiting for
annual changes, and without the danger of their new cars becoming obsolete.
f II El JUT

hcACK of this new policy is an
. amazinff story of interest to
jj everyone who owns or expects to
own an automobile.
The dramatic success of the
r r. lit -
a nrppnt mr nt .lrtennk-pr I nr
i;, , , , 'ns r
Ktat is one reason for this important
change. Month after month we keep breaking records
sales keep piling up. This year we will sell almost
four times as many automobiles as we produced in
the big boom year which followed the war.
Owners report endurance records, even beyond our
greatest expectations. Out in the rugged mountain
regions where Studebaker sells four times its normal
proportion of cars, owners talk about these models in
the most extravagant terms. In 1924 the Corporation's
sale of repair parts dropped to $10 per car per year.
Mechanical stamina under severe usage remarkable
performance under the most difficult travel conditions
these are the qualities for which Studebaker Cars have
long been noted.
Surely, these significant facts prove beyond any
shadow of doubt that Studebaker Cars are so soundly
engineered and manufactured and so eminently satis
factory in the hands of owners, that drastic annual
changes are not required.
Improvements and refinements will be made from'
time to time. New features will be added. When our
engineering department (maintained at a cost of more
than half a million dollars a year) devises an im
provement in any model, it will be made without
regard to the calendar.
As in the past, we shall continue to pioneer vital
betterments that have proved their merit through prac
tical use. Alert, aggressive, receptive to new ideas,
resourceful in executing them, guided by scientific
research and spurred by imagination, the Studebaker
organization proposes to build better motor cars than
ever before.
Now you may buy a Studebaker on any day of the
year with the confident assurance that the sturdy,
thrifty, one-profit car you drive away will not be stig
matized by any act of ours as a "last year's model."
Today, in even more generous measure than in the past,
Studebaker Cars offer the utmost value for the money.
