The excellence of Studebaker chasis deskn—the beauty of the body, both in finish and in line-—the wonderful power of the m o to r-th e \m o o th , almost vibra tionless operation of the car—these are the B1G things that indicate quality, which makes btude- baker a fine car. But P E R FE C TIO N also is shown in the L IT T L E things. In both the Studebaker F O U R and SIX you find a high-grade Yale Ignition Lock; perman ently bright finished metal parts; hand grips on the door; leather-bound carpets in the tonneau; aluminum bound linoleum in the driver s com- partment; leather-edged top; Bl&ckmore curtain »openers; leather bound robe straps; big pockets on every door. These arc some of the L IT T L E *kmgg that indicate the perfection not only in BIG things but in detail which make the Studebaker such a wonderful value for the money. r ò b e P., 7-Pasaenger F O U R ............ $940 50-H .
