motor of your car bears the brunt of the
burden, you then recognize that these

Transportation
. fr Economical
In thousands of American homes there are now two automo
biles "a car for her, too," so that there may be transportation
for the family while "he" drives to business.'
And the family car has such an infinite degree of usefulness!
neighborhood shopping, running downtown, taking the
children to school, afternoon calls and the many additional
trips that must be made as part of every dayls work.
Because it is so easy to drive and park . . . because it Is so
decidedly smart and comfortable, today's Chevrolet is an out-
standing favorite among women drivers everywhere provid
ing, in abundant measure, the safety, charm and elegance that
women demand in their personal cars.
Come and see the beautiful Chevrolet models. You'll find
quality you have always associated with the highest priced
automobiles and you'll find Chevrolet ownership ii always
economical . . . even when the family has more than una
automobile.

THE GREAT INDEPENDENT
NEW WORLD RECORDS
For Endurance and Speed established by
3 STUDEBAKER COMMANDE
THE WORLD'S CHAMPION CAR
Nothing made by man in the history of the world has ever ,
traveled so far so fast 25,000 miles in less than 23,000 minutes
Read the facts below V
.TO THE PUBLIC:
s
On October 18th at 2:49 p. m., two trlctly
lock Studehuhor Commander Sport
Roadsters, and a strictly atocle Commander
Sedan, started at the Atlantic City Speedway
(one and one-half mile board track) to run
continuously for 25,000 milv-j and thereby, if
successful, to establish a new world record for
mndurance, and also, if possible, to average
better than a mile a minute and thus break
all existing speed records not already held by
Studebaker cars. These were the objectives
sought by Studebaker.
This run was sanctioned and supervised by
the American Automobile Association, which
stationed squad of 35 men on the job in
charge of Val Haresnape, Secretary of the
Contest Board of the Associat ion. These men
kept all of the records by means of the most
accurate electrical time recording instruments
and tape which registered every lap (16,667
laps) as each car passed over wire stretched
across the track immediately in froitt of the
judges' stand, which was occupied by four
A. A. A. men at all times day and night.
In addition, at least two members of the
A. A. A. Technical Committee kept an accu
rate record of all gas, od and water replenish
ments, together with parts replacements and
work done on the cars.
The sole duty of the Studebaker drivers and
pit men was to keep the cars on the track and
the average speed above a mile a minute.
They had nothing to do with the recording of
distance or speed.
The Official Reult$ of the teats as duly
certified by the American Automobile Asso
ciation were as follows:
Both roadsters finished 25,000 miles on
November 3rd at 1 :37 p. m.f which made t he
total elapsed time IS days, 22 hours and 48
minutes, or 22,96ft minutes, and the average
speed 65.31 miles per hour, for the entire
distance. ,
The Sedan finished 25,000 milea on No
vember 4th at 10:09 a. in., which made the
total elapsrd time 16 days, 19 hours and 20
minutes, or 24,200 minutes, and the average
South Bend, Indiana, November 10th, 1927
peed 61.98 miles per hour for the entire
distance. i
These are world record for distance '1
covered and average speed. No machine ,
made by man in the history of the world,
be it airplane, automobile, ateam engine, ' ,
or Bhip, ham even approached the per-
ornance of these Studebaker cars. y
An accurate record of all repairs and re )
placement was kept on the three cars. At
Studebaker'! retail prices for parts, the total
cost of all mechanical repairs and replace- .
ments (including labor) on the two Roadsters
was $207.88 or 41 hundredths of a cent per
nulc for the 50,000 miles traveled.
The Sedan turned over during the night of '
November 2nd with u mileage of 21,390 miles
to its credit, while going at the rate of 65
miles per hour, it was nrcessnry to replace
radiator, wheels, headlights and front axle,
but the car was back on the track again in
one hour and fifty-seven minutes and com
pleted the 25,000 miles wiMi an average speed '
of 61.98 mites per hour. The repair cost was, "
of course, made abnormally heavy on the
Sedan by this wrecktotaling S40H.34 or one
and sixty-three hundredths cents per mile. ,
Competitive engineering and proving ground .
tests, plus analytical examinations of a hun
dred cars made during the past year, had con
vinced the men who make Studebaker cars,
that they are eu per tor in performance, en
durance, and value to any other cars on the
American market today.
Realising the futility of superlative claims,
So prevalent in autotnohileadvertising, S'ude- f
baker determined seven months a no, to gn
after all existing performance records held by
tuck automobiles and to nubmit the result
to the pub I to aa official facta certified to .
by the higheat American authority, ,
namely the American Automobile Asso- t
ctation,
