SAFETY AT ANY SPEED
In both Series “ 18” FO U R and Series
“ 18” SIX, Studebaker has concentrated in
refining, perfecting, and strengthening one
of thge best full-floating axle systems ever
put under a car, regardless of price.
In qualities of steels; in development of
design; in accuracy of manufacture, Stude
baker could not improve on its construc-
•tion. even if it manufactured a car to sell
for $5000.00.
The weight of the car; the strain of stop
ping, starting and driving the car; the strain
of side-thrust in turuing corners at high
speed, are all absorbed by the giant strong
axle housing, and all these strains and the
weight of the car, are carried on this hous
ing on big Timken bearings.
