Not only was it wasted, but in the process _caused wear and tear on engine, propeller shaft, universal joints; clutch, transmission, differential and rear axle. Not only that butit pumped unwanted ol and gasoline through the engine—more waste. CUTS OPERATING COSTS—Free Wheeling puts momentum to work—under control. It saves 129 to 20% in gas and ofl. It adds immeasurably to chassis life and cuts repair bills. The engine ‘works only 8 miles while the car travels 10. Free Wheeling merits a slogan like that with which coaster-brake bicycles made obsolete all cycles not so equipped: “Ride all day—pedal halfway.” But ‘ml!FreeWheelhgcutmonlnnnqdluo—Ameduwmnd @0 Free Wheeling, BETTER PERFORMANCE —Free Whedlngflvuthedrlverl new and thrilling sensation of freedom of movement. And it results in undreamed-of ease of shifting. You may move the gearshift lever back and forth between high and second at any car speed, without touching the clutch, ! QUIET—Even in second you may glide smoothly forward without a sound. SAFETY—The full braking power of the engine is instahtlyand easily available even at high speeds. LOW ONE-PROFIT PRICES—Those who are driving Free Wheeling Studebaker Eights will tell you that they would demand this great engineering advancement even if it cost more and even if there were no savings in cost of operation. But Btudebaker Eights cost less to operate and they are built on the famous Studebaker cars.

These other features of the new Studebaker Eights would put them ahead of all competition even without Free Wheeling.
