Announcement just made of
the new series 17 Studebaker 6-
Cylinder and 4-cylinder models
comes in the nature of a triumph
or the W alther-W illiam s Auto
Co. agents for the Studebaker
cars in this section, po less than
the Studebaker company that
manufactures the cars.
The basic design of the series of
cars show no radical changes.
The mechanical principles that
lave heretofore proven tuccets
ul are retained intact.
The new refinements have been
in the direction of greater room
iness and comfort, along with
still further conveniences.
In
spite o f these added features,
lowever, the new series 17 4-cyl-
inder seven-passenger touring car
now sells for $845. The three-
passenger roadster is priced at
$825. The 6-cy Under seven-pas
senger touring car is priced at
$1050 and th é ' three-passenger
roadster at $1025.
' One o f the most striking re
finements in the new series 17 cars
is the, divided front seat effect.
The front seats are of the in d i
vidual type of construction and
are adjustable.
The brake and clutch pedals
lave been lengthened in order to
provide greater leverage and a
consequent ease in control. This
pedal adjustment supplemented
by the front seat adjustment, pro
vides for drivers of varying sizes,
and is a convenience appreciated
