built into the Studebaker Special-Six
and this quality of construction is just
as exacting down under the surface as
it is where you can see every detail.
The skillful workmanship and the
fine materials of these hidden values
are largely responsible for its long-lived
dependable service.
Two important elements that make
the Special-Six notable for fine perform •
ance and comparative freedom from
repair, are the four-bearing crankshaft
artd the seven-inch frame with its five
cross-members and sub-frame support-
ing the motor and the separate trans­
mission.
The new price,$1275, is the lowest for
which the Special-Six Touring Car ever
sold—and thequality is better than ever.
Price does not always determine
value, but in the case of Studebaker it
establishes the finest values in the mai-
ket. The name Studebaker on your car
insures satisfaction.
Come in or phone and let us give you
a demonstration in the Special-Six.
Drive it yourself. A ride will help you
make up your mind. In public confi­
dence and respect, the name Stude­
baker stands higher than ever.
