Finer Body Construction
There is no stronger, more durable
body construction in the motor car in
dustry than Studebaker. First grade,
northern white ash and maple are used
throughout. Body, joints are mortised,
tenoned, glued or screwed to prevent
rattles and squeaks. Door posts are
completely metal covered. Doors fit
flush and tight, keeping drafts and
dust put. . They ppen and close easily
with the click of precision. Compare
Studebaker body construction with
that of any $4000 car.

This abiding sense that the
Cadillac was a thing apart first
came into being twenty-three
years ago. Eleven years ago
Cadillac added immeasurably
vto its prestige by developing
the first eight-cylinder Ameri

widest acceptance of the eight
cylinder principle in all the
world.
Today's unexampled demand
for the new 90-degree, eight
cylinder Cadillac is making
motor car history all over
again. It is doubling Cadillac
sales, which already exceeded
that of any other car in its field.
The new Cadillac is ears
ahead of the times and new ,
thousands each month -turn to
it with deepest satisfaction.
