In the 1931 Gilmore-Wrightwood economy run, supervised and checked by the American Automobile Association, Studebaker Free Wheel- ing cars won first and second place. A Stude- baker President Eight established a record of 46.71 ton miles per gallon, or 17,5 actual per U.S. galten to win the event. A Free Wheel- ing Studebaker Six finished second with 44.04 ton miles per gallon, or 23.5 speedometer milce. This test which was run over a 200-mile course from Rex level to more than 6,000 feet altitude was limited to women drivers. It brought the Studebaker in competition with all classes of care.
