Beautiful New Model.

WEDNESDA, JUNE 19, 1946
mm
The L. & G. Motors here, on
Hancock street, near the over
head bridge, now has on display
a beautiful new Studebaker
the long-awaited 1947 model.
And Charlie and Jim Gillis,
Irving Long and the other fel
lows associated with this hustl
ing young motor firm, are all
smiles over their new baby
proud papas, all of them for
this new Studebaker.
In speaking of this 1947 model
Studebaker, Charlie Gillis has
this to say,
"This car could not have been
built before the war. Progress
in manufacturing and engineer
ing has given us greater safety, j
greater comfort and greater op
erating efficiency than our pre-
war knowledge could have made '
possible.. It is not only the first ;
genuine postwar automobile, j
but an automobile that sets the
style for the entire industry, j
"We feel that this new Stude-
baker is the most important
contribution to motoring in two
decades. Our opinion has been,
strengthened by the model's re
ception in public and private ,
previews. At the recent Gold- 1
en Jubilee Celebration of the ;
automobile in Detroit these cars j
were the center of attraction.
They drew large curb-side
crowds wherever they parked.
Drivers were besieged by ques
tions. Unbiased newspaper
"writers have termed it 'the hot
test thing on wheels.' They re
port 'Studebaker has taken the
lead.' "
Most apparent result of an
engineering program that touch
ed virtually every part of the
chassis and body is the blended
unity of the new Studebaker
design. Fenders have been ab
sorbed into the body. A judici
ous application of curved glass
has created a "flow" of line that
commands immediate admira
tion. . -Although smartness has been
achieved by the design, refine
ments afford as well many prac
tical advantages. By extending
passenger compartments into
the former fender areas, inter
ior room has been appreciably
increased. Exceptional visibil
ity is another highspot. Wind
shields and windows have been
broadened. Wind resistance is
lower, adding to top speeds.
The lower body (measuring
tmly fractionally over five feet
in height) has been produced
without any sacrifice in head
Toom by moving the passenger
compartment forward. Passen
gers now ride well ahead of the
Tear axle in a zone where road
irregularities are least felt.
Lowering the car floor, accom
panied by a scientific redistribu
tion of chassis weight, increases
driving and riding ease. The
center of gravity is lower. Cars
seemingly "hug" the highway,
a point that is readily evident
on curves.
A further improvement in
safety is effected by Studebak
er's new self-adjusting brakes.
An important "first" in trans
portation, the mechanism as
sures quick, firm stops through
out the life of the brake lining.
The secret lies in a device that
automatically moves trie brake
shoe outward in steps of .005
of an inch as the lining wears.
Non-glare, black light instru
ment panel illumination, origi
nally developed for fighter air
craft; stronger, box-section
frames ; broader wheel rims and
a more secure method of locking
bodies and chassis are other
safety features. Also listed
among chassis advances is a
re-engineered front wheel plan
ar suspension in which spring
ends are "floated" in rubber.
Body details imparts an at
mosphere of luxury and reflects
a studious regard for comfort
and convenience. The spaci
ousness of the richly tailored
interiors is impressive. Door
"handles are of a new pull-to
type. A modishly trimmed ins
trument panel sets off jumbo
sized dials. A pistol grip park
ing brake is located in the cen
ter of the dash. Seats are ful
ly adjustable.
Convertibles, two and tour
door sedans, business coupes
and a fresh treatment of the
five-passenger coupe, which has
Teen acclaimed as the most pro
gressive step in automotive styl-
