THE LITTLE THINGS
Studebaker cars are fihe cars. 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.
