Why Are So Many Thoughtful Farmers 
Buying This $1550 Studebaker “SIX” ? 
Thousands of farmers were not converted over 
night to this $1550 Studebaker “SIX’* without a level¬ 
headed, sufficient reason. 
They went through precisely the same process 
which converted others. 
The fact is that farmers have found in the $1550 
Studebaker “SIX”, a mechanical luxury and advantage 
which they never knew before. 
You too will find, when you first sit at the wheel of the 
Studebaker “SIX” that you are driving a different kind 
of a car. 
This $1550 Studebaker “SIX” is different from other 
cars, because from top to tread it is a typical Studebaker 
product, Studebaker designed and manufactured and hon¬ 
est through and through. 
The $1550 Studebaker “SIX” is different in its clear 
mastery over all kinds of roads. 
The $1550 Studebaker “SIX” is different in its amaz¬ 
ing flexibility, by which we mean that you can throttle 
very low on high gear and yet rapidly accelerate to top 
speed without strain or apparent effort. It offers mechan¬ 
ical smoothness of a new and remarkable degree. 
The $1550 Studebaker “SIX” is different in its ability 
to perform every conceivable motoring task, with an ease 
and efficiency which was never before even indicated 
within a far reach of its price. 
The $1550 Studebaker “SIX” is altogether different, 
and sure as ever you sit behind the wheel it will charm 
and convince you. 
*/ 
If these qualities, so rare and satisfying, were avail¬ 
able only at heavy expense, you might reluctantly forfeit 
them. 
But who can refuse the $1550 Studebaker “SIX”, and 
such advantages. 
Don't hesitate, go see it, a surprise awaits you. 
Buy It 
What the Studebaker “SIX” Is 
It is first a car whose six-cylinder motor deliv¬ 
ers power with incredible smoothness. 
In any given number of revolutions there are 
50 per cent more power impulses than in most cars. 
This produces an even How of power, which you 
must experience to understand. 
As a result a lighter fly wheel is used. 
Again, this smooth flow of power softens to an 
infinitesimal degree the shock which the motor ex¬ 
plosions throw against the teeth of the transmission 
gears, and which in other cars a heavy fly wheel 
must be used to reduce. Consequently all the gears 
in the $1550 Studebaker “SIX’’ wear far longer. 
For the same reason, the motor parts are re¬ 
lieved of vibration by at least 50 per cent. 
Again this results in much longer wear. 
Studebaker Manufactures This “SIX” 
It has been said by others that a “SIX” cannot 
be manufactured for iess than $2000. 
Strictly speaking from their point of view, this 
is true, because other Sixes—practically every other 
six under $2000—are “assembled” cars, and no good 
Six can be “assembled” under $2000. 
The answer is that the $1550 Studebaker “SIX” 
is manufactured complete in Studebaker plants, 
from top to tread, from cylinders to rear axle. 
Never forget that. It is the first and great ad¬ 
vantage of every Studebaker product. 
A Six Should Never be “Assembled” 
The reason sixes for so long were unsuccessful 
was because companies tried to “assemble” them. 
And a successful six depends absolutely upon 
Hie perfect co-ordination of all parts, with the over¬ 
coming of vibration at every speed, which can never 
oe attained in an “assembled” car. 
Because It’s a Studebaker 
An “assembled’ Six is of all cars the most dan¬ 
gerous, because the very harmony of all parts, in 
design, manufacture and adjustment,—the one thing 
most vital to the car—is the most difficult to obtain 
by “assembling” methods. 
How Well the $1550 Studebaker “SIX” it 
Manufactured 
Every part of ihe $1550 Studebaker “SIX” is 
designed to harmonize with every other part. 
It is built and tested, part by part, practically 
entire in Studebaker plants. As a result it is a per¬ 
fect unit, untouched by vibration or strain. 
The rear axle and transmission and motor for 
example, work together as smooth as wax. 
Remember These Things About the $1550 
Studebaker “SIX” 
There are over 250 separate drop forgings in 
every “SIX” we build; more, we believe that in any 
other car whatsoever. 
Every crank shaft is tested on knife edges until 
it will rest stationary in any position. 
Every fly wheel is in the same way perfectly 
balanced at motion and at rest. 
Every pair of pistons is absolutely balanced 
with both of the two other pairs. They weigh ex¬ 
actly the same. 
Every gear is made from drop forged blanks, 
hammered out by our own 40 huge drop forges, and 
later is heat-treated, ground, heat-treated five times 
more and finally finished to micrometer exactness. 
They are silent and indescribably hard and tough. 
100 tons could not begin to crush them. 
And in mechanical design we make this bold 
statement, that the $1550 Studebaker “SIX’ has ab¬ 
solutely no superior.
