Las been announced by the Stude baker Corporation . of America. 'Announcement of the new Dic tator Six closely follows the , in troduction early in June of tbe new Dictator Eight. i Tbe new Dictator Six offers the brilliant performance charac teristic of Studebaker engineering" and the roomy comfort of liberal ly dimensioned bodies mounted on a chassis of 115-inch wheelbase. The six body models are offered at prices ranging from $995, to 91195," said WallaceJ Bonesteele, local Studebaker-Erskine dealer through whom the announcement . was made. "The truly fine car ' quality erident in the new six: at these prices marks a new achieve nicnt in Studebaker's unique' one profit manufacturing plan, "With Its smart appearance, its exceptional riding and driving ease, and its brilliant, yet thrifty performance, the new Dictator Six is a notable addition to Studebaker's- family of championship cars. In every respect it is worthy to as sume tbe place of its predecessor, whose achievement in traveling 000 miles m 4751 consecutive minutes has remained unchal lenged as a standard of perform ance and stamina for stock cars priced below $1300. "Double drop frame construc tion and the long 115-inch wheel base have made it possible for Studebaker body engineers to de sign a car of exceptionally grace ful lines. Its low. swung appear ance la emphasized by sweeping finders hung low over the wheels, and the skillful use' of body mouldings and smart new color schemes. fflO M STAGE Traffic offices of the Pickwick .
