-. ing in Appearance or
) '. in" Performance
A new Dictator Six with a long
. cr wheelbase and a complete range
of beautiful new body styles, yet
selling at the lowest, price ever
plaeed on a Studebaker closed car.
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.
