Oregon motor Car Company. Better finish, better equipment and refined mechanical characteristics without radical changes appear In the 1917 Studebaker four, which has been given a price increase of $55. Gun metal finish of gray with black fenders is the most striking addition to the appearance of the car. The bodies are also much improved in the aesign or the auxiliary seats which are large and well upholstered and slide entirely out of sight under the rear seats when. not in use. Another new feature is found in the reversible front-passenger seat. Storm curtains which open and close with the doors without any buttoning and unbutton ig. door pads and an all-wool tonneau carpet among the other additions. The Studebaker four and six are ex actly similar in design throughout. Both motors have their cylinders cast in a single block of similar dimen sions. 3 by 5 inches, and with all parts similar from one end of the chassis to the other, excepting where structural dimensions differ, on ac count of difference in the power plants. OVERLAID. Overland Pacific Co, The new model 85 Overlanfl six takes the place of the previous model 83. One notable change' is the increased use of pressed steel to take the place of heavier castings. An example of this is in the rear axle housing. An other important alteration is in the spring suspension which is now canti lever. The gasoline tank has been moved to the rear and a new form of rigid tire support has been incorporated. The use of a leather universal is another innovation. . Riding comfort has re ceived particular attention in this model. The body provides ample seat ing room for five-passengers on the 116-in. chassis. A departure for the Overland Com pany is the abandonment of magneto ignition and the use of a battery dis tributer system in its place. A fea ture of the ignition system is the switch which incorporates a thermos tatic throw-off arrangement by means of which it Is impossible to drain the battery through neglect to pull out the switch button.
