Used by other carsces !
- but not in a Studebaker
Ard the reason is simply that Studebaker doesn't ilare to. For those
designs listed over on the side are "old-timers'' in engineering. They
ar 1 1 the new ideas in building a car. Long ao they gave place to
BE! TER designs. And while other manufacturers may cling to them
b-cause th'-y don't care to go to the manufacturing expense that exten-
sive changes in design incur Studebaker CAN'T.
For you see when a man comes to look at a Studebaker he EXPECTS
quality. Price is rarely the attraction. He has in mind the QUALITY
the ideals in manufacturing that name of Studebaker has stood for so
long. He expects a reasonable price- yes! For he kr.ows that Stude-
baker is one of the largest organizations in existence devoted to the
building of cars. And in a series of plants that have a capacity of
J000 cars a week it is only natural to expect low manufacturing costs
- and therefore low prices.
But first of all he looks for QUALITY. And Studebaker of course
couldn't afford to have a man find a semi-floating rear axle in this FOUR
when everybody knows that type of axle has long since given place to
the SAFER more accessible FULL-floatir.g Rear Axle. Couldn't
afford for example to have him find drive thro' the springs when
GOOD design calls fcr drive thro' radius rods so as to free the springs
from all possible strains. And so with every detail. It HAS to be the
highest quality and the latest design that is approved by engineers.
And so the things listed at the side you WON'T find in a Studebaker
because its a
