Description
Studebaker Commander Two-Door – Full color 9 1/4″ x 13″ ad has a picture of a Blue Two-Door that has stopped in front of a hacienda-style building with a red roof and flowers growing up the height of the walls. Everybody that is on the sidewalk has stopped what they are doing so that they can get a good look at this car that is being driven by a very happy man. The ad headline calls this car a “New driving thrill! 120-horsepower wonder car! Spectacular Studebaker Commander V-8“. The ad writers must have gotten a bonus for each adjective because the car is called “A jet-streamed powerhouse on wheels! New-type high efficiency valve-in-head V-8 engine! Sensational acceleration! Exceptional thrift! A stand-out in quality! A bargain buy!”
