The inconvenient method of storing! dusty side curtains under seats has branded, other open cars as obsolete. . 0 SUDDEN rain storm catches tEe driver bl a Studebaker Duplex-Phaeton or Roadster unprepared, because roller enclosures concealed in the hood may be lowered within thirty seconds. They effectively shut out rain, wind or, dust and operate as easily as a window shade. The Duplex body, developed and made exclusively by Studebaker, is rapidly displacing the old style of open car in many parts of the world, for it retains the freedom and airiness of the ordinary open car, yet it quickly gives protection and privacy. The steel framed hood also adds safety for it is strong enough to support the weight of the entire car. Studebaker*s Facilities Not only does Studebaker make all bodies and all engines used in Studebaker cars, but alild all clutches, gear boxes ,springs, differentials, steering gears, brakes, axles, grey-iron castings and r drop forgings. Only Ford in the low-price field' and Studebaker in the fine-car field enjoy the benefits of such complete manufacturing facilities. One-Profit Value These facilities enable Studebaker to manufacture quality cars on a One-Profit basis. They enable Studebaker to eliminate the profits of outside parts and body makers. Many major savings are thus effected and passed on to you in the form of higher quality' and lower price. Unit-Built Construction Studebaker facilities result, too, in Unit-Built construction—in cars designed and built as a unit The hundreds of parts in a Studebakercar function together as a unit, resulting in longer life, greater riding comfort and higher resale value. Scores of thousands of miles of excess transportation thus are built into Studebaker cars.
