Distortion Television Problem. . NEW YORK (#).—One of the prob- s r!oepd(on is undis- lems of television : Commander Eight would still be the biggest value for the money in America. Thé Commander is a car of generous wheelbase—124 inches —a comfort further enhanced by Studebaker’s famous ball bear- ing spring suspension. The Commander engine develops 101 certified horsepower— the greatest power per cubic inch, with two exceptions, to be found in any American motor car. The two exceptions atre the " engines of cars costing, roughly, $1000 and $3000 more than ‘The Commaander! Commander performance and eomfort thus form an ideal natural backgzound for the joy, the economy and the safety-of Free Wheeling. Free Wheeling with positive gear control, as introduced by Studebaker and adopted, unchanged, by Pierce-Arrow and Lincbln, gives you silent gear shifting at all speeds—freedom from clutch-pushing—12 to 20 per cent proved gasoline and oil saving—incomparably restful, zestful motoring—and the added safety attested by public traffic officials from coast to coast. One drive will convince you there is no value comparable to this seasoned Eight by Studebaker, Pioneer and Pacemaker.
