THE NEW... STUDEBAKER CHAMPION

IS HERE. Inspection without obligation is invited. Look at these features and we are sure you will agree that you owe it to yourself to see and drive this car before purchasing any other

car.

Gear change is on the steer- ing wheel. The Champlon climbs hills and accelerates far beyond what you will expect. You don't have to slam doors because they are equipped with, rotary locks. The Champion is 100% Studebaker in quality.

The Champion was tested over 300,000 miles over a period of four years. We are now prepared to make immediate dollverles of the Champion.
