The great eclipse of 1931 Studebaker free wheeling To the motorist thinking of buying a new car now, the attention the entire industry is giving to Free Wheeling means a great deal. Pierce-Arrow and Lincoln, noted for engineering excellence and conservatism, have adopted—intact and unmod- ified—the same Free Wheeling mechanism that is built into Studebaker’s three great Eights and brilliant new Six. Free Wheeling has captured public interest as thoroughly as it has captured the hitherto wasted ‘power of momentum. In Free Wheeling, for the first time in the history of the automobile, Studebaker has released momentum from subjec- tion to the engine that creates it and made it serve asan instru- »ment of economy and power. Free Wheeling with positive gear control utilizes this longlost overflow of propulsion, en- abling the engine to do five miles of work with four miles of effort and one mile of rest! You will do well if you make sure that your new car is a Free Wheeling Studebaker. It will save you substantial amounts on gasoline, oil, tires and repairs. But you must actually drive a Free Wheeling Studebaker to know all the thrills, all the pleasure, all the satisfaction this great achievement can give you. This is not the time to buy a new car on impulse or through habit. The cars of today that do not offer Free Wheeling are cars of the old order even though they may be spoken of as new. Base your new car choice on first-hand knowledge—ask your Studebaker dealer to take you Free Wheeling. Highway commissioners and safety directors throughout the country have driven Free Wheeling Studebakers and then voiced ap- proval of Free Wheeling with positive gear control as a new measure of safety to driver and public. Al Seudebaker cars— the President, Commander and Dictator Eights, as well as the brilliant new low-priced Studebaker Six— have Pree Studebaker tars are priced, f. o. b. factory, from $795 to $2600.
