Studebaker Bodies
Don't Rattle or Squeak
Studebaker bodies rest squarely on the chassis
frame — not on the body sills. The body and the
frame form a rigid unit that successfully resists
the rack of the road.
Studebaker bodies are built in Studebaker
shops by men, many of whom have been build-
ing vehicle bodies for Studebaker for upwards
of 30 years — and their fathers befor them.
Studebaker has been building fine bodies for
seventy years.
Studebaker Special-Six bodies, because of their
quality and soundness, weigh more than those
of other cars around the Special-Six price. You
cannot skimp in material and build a body that
will not rattle.
Freedom from rattle or squeak is just another
of the fine-car refinements that emphasize the
extra value of the Studebaker Special-Six.
The Special-Six ch*Mi
frame is7'deep It tapers
from a width of 29* in the
front to 4!' in the rear,
so that the sides of th«
bod y fi t perf ec 11 y w 11 houl
overhang. Five cro -
members prevent the dis-
tortion that eventually
causes bodies to squeak.
