No Other "SIX" in the World Near This Price.
The new Studebaker "SIX" stands absolutely alone and
apart in the entire field of nix cylinder cars.
At its price of 11676 less by hundreds than the price of
any other "SIX" it brings you more tha the operative ad
vantages of the "Six."
It brings you these advantages emphasized and enhanced
because this "SIX" is not only a manufactured "SIX," but
a Studebaker-manufactured "SIX."

Six Thousand Manufacturing Operations
How completely the Studebaker "SIX" is the product of
the great Studebaker plants you will realize when you
know that its construction requires more than (5,000 man
ufacturing operations.
We build its motor, from the raw iron and steel, down
through the numerous processes of casting, machining,
grinding and assembling to the finished product.
We build its full-floating rear axle; stamp the light though
tremendouslv strong housing from the sheet steel; we forgo
cut and machine the axle and transmission gears.
Throughout the rear axle and transmission, and in the front
wheels we use 13 Timkon roller bearings for quiet, easy
running.
Economical of Fuel and Tires
In fuel consumption we believe the "SIX" will match, if not surpass, the econ
omv of any car of equal horsepower. Its motor izc is .1J x inches.
It is economical because, in spite of ita 121 inch wheel base It is light, and easy
on ita 34 x 4 Inch Urea; yet it is wonderfully strong.
It it generously roomy and richly upholstered, and carries its seven passengers
in utmost comfort.
in design and line the "SIX" acknowledges no greater beauty or grace.
Separate Electrical Units
The starting and lighting system 'Is the Wagner two-unit, starting motor and
generator separate.

This 'FOUR' the Final Word Among Four-Cylinder Cars
This Studebaker "FOUR" has been developed from our
experience in buildingl 10,000 "FOURS,"
Its price, $1 150, represents the outsido limit you should
pay for a "Four;" because no "Four" can give you more, in
actual value or performance, than this one does.
So its price is right. Its capacity is right. Its power is
right. It is the right type the last word among four-cylinder
cars.
A Powerful Long-Stroke Motor
Nothing that we can say here will give you an adequato
idea of the power possibilities of this car or the things of
which it is capable.
The motor presents the latest approved engineering prac
ticecylinders east en bloc, valves enclosed, exhaust and
intake manifolds integral.
The Intake is very short and direct, placing the carburetor
in a most advantageous position.
In fuel both oil and gasoline, it will give long mileage.
Thirteen Timken bearings reduce friction and wear to the
minimum at everv point in the transmission and rear axle
