THE SUNDAY. STAR, WASHINGTON, D. C, JUL¥ 21, 1920 TART 4. STUDEBAKER WORLD’S LARGEST BUILDER OF EIGHTS The World Champion Stock Car— Studebaker's PRESIDENT STRAIGHT E1GHT, was chosen as Pace Maker @t The Memorial Day Race at Indianapelis STRAIGHT EIGHT wins for 9 straight years HIS year, as eve}y year since 1920, 2 straight eight won the goo-mile Memorial Day Race at Indianapolis . . . a fact which has just this to do with your choice of a motor car— : Eights Preferved Not only has the eight-cylinder engine become the accepted power for the finest passenger cars—the overwhelming choice of the greatest engineers of both Europe and America—but it utterly dominates the racing field, where cost is the last thing considered. Efficiency, capacity for sustained high speed, is the one and only consider- ation in the creation of these hand-built speed marvels. i Thus, entirely apart from its supple smoothness, the cight-cylinder motor is the choice of experts where fleetness and staying power are of first importance. In the passenger car field, such Euro- pean aristocrats as Bianchi, Bugatti, De Dion-Bouton, Isotta-Fraschini, Mercedes-Benz and Renault, are . straight-eight powered because the straight eight is smoother, more flexible, more efficient, and better design. In 1923, 10% of the makes of cars were eights. Today 41% are eights. Today 88% of all cars built in the United 8tates, priced ‘at $2200 and upward, are eighs Tue EiGgHT Is THE CAR OF ToDAY: - - AND TomoRrRROW! - At the recent Olympia Show in London, there were 25 makes of eight-cylinder cars, as against 13 in 1927. At the Grand Palais in Paris, there were 27 eights shown in 1928, compared with 15 the year before! Just as the straight eight leads the world as the preferred power for fine cars—so do Studebaker’s smart champion cighits lead all the eights of the world in sales, regardless of price, or type, or ‘years before the public . . . Sa/es leader- ship parallels performance Imder':fi:}] Studebaker holds every official stock _carrecord for speed and staying power. Aristocrat by Conguest Studebaker’s great President Eight holds 11 world and 23 international records by virtue of its feat of traveling 30,000 miles in 26,326 consecutive minutes. Think of it—pressing on- ward for more than 438 consecu- tive hours at an average speed of 68.3 miles per hour. Any normal man, woman or child can wal/k for hours, but running—that’s another story. No athlete ever lived who could sprint for ten minutes. Any good automobile can keep in motion for an indefinite period but no automobile other than the Studebaker President Eight ever even attempted to sprins for thirty thousand miles—to race for 438 consecutive hours under the lash of ter- rific speed! Four Studebaker Presidents started to do this, and each of the four smashed all existing records. Nothing else except comets, suns and other heavenly bodies ever traveled so far so fast. Strictly Stock Cars No other car has ever established such conclusive proof of staying power! And the cars that performed this great achievement were strictly stock models selected at random by representatives of the American Automobile Association and timed and checked by that body.
