You save the profits ordinarily paid to parts and body makers. E The Society of Automotive Engineers has rated the engine in this Studebaker as the most powerful in any car of its size and weight. The body construction is outstanding in its worth and wear — body joints mortised, tenoned, glued: or screwed; doors fitting flush and tight; first grade northern white ash and hard maple, fitted with an accuracy far beyond usual practice. . You will find this same excess value in the complete equipment— gasoline gauge on dash, automatic windshield cleaner, rear-view mir- ror, cowl ventilator, dome light, air cleaner and gas and oil filters. The true test of this Standard Six Coach is the scrutiny of your own examination. Come in and see it now —drive it and judge its extra value for yourself.
