j The front end of the 1950 Stu
j" debaker is especially striking,
pg Mr. Foster pointed out. It em
bodies an airplane fuselage-type
hood, flanked by air-foil front
fenders and set off by a chrome
"spinner." In addition to pro
viding an ornamental touch, the
"spinner" augments four frontal
openings which directfehid to the
engine for maximum cooling.
The largest of theBe air passages
consists of two oval-shaped hon
eycomb grills scoops located be
low the two smaller air channels
which flank t h e - "spinner."
Chrome moldings over these
small twin channels contribute
to the unusual decorative effect.
Mr. Foster believes that the
complete change in frontal ap
pearance and fender treatment
will be of special interest to au
tomobile enthusiasts. "It makes
the cars look as if they are in
motion even when they're stand
ing still," he said.
"Riding and handling quali
ties are greatly improved, too
These are the result of a num
ber of engineering refinements
but are due principally to a
modification of Studebaker's bal
anced chassis to include a new
self-stabilizing coil spring front
suspension. This involves a new
mounting of the front wheels so
that they strike road bumps at
a retracting angle instead of
head-on. In other words, 'thoy
roH with the punch.' They don't
take the full force of the blow.
"Another important change s
an increase in the standard com
pression of both Studebaker en
gines?the Champion and the
Commander?from 6.5 to 1, to
7.0 to 1. This steps up the power
and helps gasoline economy with
out making it necessary to use
premium gasolines. Champion
brake horsepower is now 85;
and the Commander is 102."
The popular and durable nylon
upholstery, first used by Stude
baker in the Land Cruiser, has
been extended to all Regal De
luxe models of the Commander
series, and can be had as an op
tion on the Champion and Com
mander convertibles, Mr. Foster
said. Foam rubber cushions ar-:
standard equipment in all mod
els with the exception of the
lower-priced Deluxe Champion.
Newly designed instrument
panels are located about four
inches farther forward than prev
iously, Mr. Foster pointed out,
thus providing even greater space
in the front compartment. Con
trol switches are the push-pu.l
type and gauges are grouped di
rectly in front of the driver so
that they can be checked at a
glance. The steering column of
the Commander and Land Cruis
er is enclosed in an oversize steel
jacket.
The Commander tire size has
been increased to 7.60 x 15
inches. The Champion is equipp
ed with 6.40 x 15 tires. All
