six was surrounded by s mass of
interested spectators, en'denvorlhg
to obtain a gllmpso -of this llttlo
aristocrat of molordom. .
Tho car being hilt 5 foot ?V
Inehes in height, tho swarm, of
spectator that surrounded tho car
practically obscured tho view of
this revolutionary automobile from
those who crowded nbout tho out
er fringe of tho throng to see .It.
Although low in height, tho body
designed by Dietrich, ono of tho
foremost custom body builders of
!h country is so adequately dim
ensioned within that It affords am
ple leg and head room for a man
over six feet in height.
According to the Studcbuker
corporation, . who sponsored tho
Krslilnc sis. and who htm Intro
duced it. after two years of test
ing, this cur is as unusual in per
formance as it is In design, lis
producers claim that it will accel
erate from S to 25 miles per hbur
in SH- seconds; that it wilt climb
an 11 per cent grade In high gear:
return 25 to 30 miles to the Ra'linn
of gasoline, and attain S0 miles
jier hour effortlessly. "
Following lis showing In Kcw
York officials of the Studehaker
corporation announced thatdt
would be shown at various "auto
mobile , shows throughout tho
country, wliero it is predicted that
it will create tho samo furore of
interest that it has at tlto New
