They represent the skill of engineering specialists, plus the standard of 70 years’ experience in building quality vehicles. Strength, weight, resistance to shock, free- dom from rattles, are all subjected to searching analysis and gruelling road tests under every possible condition of road and weather, The body framework is of selected white ash, thoroughly seasoned and rigidly in- spected. Painting is comparable to the highest grade custom coach work. It includes 26 different operations and 15 separate coats of material. The seat springs are of the highest grade. The upholstery is of mohair velvet plush velour, selected for wearing gualities and rich neutral tones which combine elegance with service. Door-window regulators of the latest improved type permit quick change from weatherproof protection to an airy open body. Studebaker enclosed bodies are as good as the chassis.
