For brass and nickel scattered all over the car, with odd steps and protuberances everywhere the simple dignity of low, long bodies, trim as a greyhound. For the short-lived varnish, rich lacqueroid applied in greater vari ety of colors, gives lasting beauty. So with other details: Springs, transmission, clutch, horn, starter, oil drain operated without getting undep the car; greasing systems, carburetor and radiator scarcely a single detail of the car thnt hasn't had the attention or entire engi neering staffs. In contrasting the advances made In motor cur design, the local Studebaker dealer pointed out that Improvements are now ronfined to detulls. "llecauso of this, Stude baker believes thnt annual model changes are unwarranted. Based on this conviction, the Studebaker policy of 'No yearly models' was adopted. ' Kxplainlng this policy M. J. Goss said: "Studebaker cars are kept constantly up to date without re gard for the calendar. The elim ination of spectacular annual an nouncements of new yearly models saves thousands of dollars for Studebaker owners whose cars would b artificially depreciated In value If StudVhaker followed the plan of saving up changes for sev. 1 ernl months nnd making them th occasion for spectacular announce menu." - . -' I HUH III I lll piibiic-8 uc-siro. io own aim . drive Ar BnnllJiC&S I f 'vv ,UUU AU I Ub r JJ&&& , ...
