Description
Studebaker Champions – Black and white 10″ x 13 1/2″ ad that demonstrates “What an Exciting Experience the Studebaker miracle ride is!”. It talks about some of the “Convincing ‘Third Degree’ road tests” that the Studebaker Champions were asked to stand up to. One picture illustrates the time when a 1935 Studebaker Champion was driven at 60 mph “on the ties of the longest electric railway bridge in the world near Berrien Springs, Michigan” and the ride seemed smooth and comfortable “even for the passengers in the capacious rear seat”. It talks about the Compound Hydraulic Brakes which will stop you swiftly, smoothly and in a straight line” and about how you can lift your hands from the steering wheel and the car will continue straight where you pointed it. It mentions three Champion models available in 1935, the Dictator for $695, the Commander for $925 and the President for $1245.
