"Willys-Overland engineers, in
d-KiKiilng the Overland six, spared
iitOirr time nor expense In de
veloping a perfectly balanced chas
sis which, combined with (he nicely

provltle no sidesway or driving

"Owners, in commcnling on (he

ed by the uso of specially con
structed chrome vanadium steel
springs of the seml-elltpllc' type,
34 Inches long in front and 61
inches in tho rear, providing a
buoyancy in spring action. This
typo of spring Is practically im

performance of the cars and their
ooinnu'nts that Is helping to udd
this pleasing total of one thousand

The new Chevrolet has so many
details of refinement, and appoint

its price clans thut It In rapidly
stepping out ahead of all competi

''Wo' nr confident that," the

What an exchange of conveni
ence for trouble has been made )n
Other details or the car of today!
Such as:
For oil nnd gas lamps, lighted
with matches electric systems in
metal conduits, all controlled by
one switch on the steering wheel.
For extra control levers on the
wheel an automatic spark ad
vance, timing engine Tiring by its
own speed.- : , '-
For Instruments scattered nil
over tho dash, bewildering to the
novice and experienced (d river alike
one oval glass, with all grouped
beneath, indirectly lighted. '
For hard rubber tires and buggy
whecis full, soft balloons, uround
small, sturdy wheels. j
For goggbm, Ifncn dusters nnd
gloves luxurious, richly uphols
tered bodies In which" a -woman In
evening costume may ride, un
clouked and comfortable.
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." - . -'
