Penn walked 40 miles in that time and the Delawares, accordingly, gave him a deed to a tract of land 40 miles deep. Always there with ready cash...

Bar, Keith Adams, Colleen NIIIIINW Why should YOU buy a Studebaker? Studebaker is a unique automobile, unique among the many motor cars being sold in the U.S. and Canadian markets. Studebaker is unique in its reputation for durability . , . unique in its convenient size and wheelbase—no longer a compact in appearance ... unique in engineering advancements .. . and now unique in its new concept of enduring styling. Studebaker automobiles are no longer "stubby" —they have been re- styled from bumper to bumper for the 1964 model year with clean, distinctive, modern lines which have earned high praise from the experts of the motoring press throughout the world. This styling will continue to be identified with Studebaker models in the future and we believe it will wear well with our owners —like the rest of the Studebaker automobile. Studebaker is a SAFE, SOLID automobile investment. It spells security for its passengers with more built-in safety factors than any other car on the North American market. In addition, it is a safe car from the stand- point of investment. It has a built-in freedom from mechanical faults. Tomorrow, it will have built-in resale value, insured by the continuity of our new styling theme. Studebaker is in the U.S. and the Canadian marketplace to STAY. Studebaker is manufactured today on a basis fully compatible with the selective nature of its market. Some details of our forward thinking and forward planning at Studebaker are set forth here: A NEW CONCEPT The past 40 days have been exciting ones at Studebaker. Our production for the world auto market has been centralized at Hamilton, Ontario. One of our first de- cisions was to break away from the waste- ful practice of the rest of the industry, that of imposing yearly styling changes on car owners. Studebaker, from here on, will make continuing mechanical changes in its cars. We will not wait 'till the end of a fixed "model year" to offer improvements to our owners. To you, the Studebaker driver, this means a top-quality, trouble- free car with built-in resale value. We certainly have no aim to build the lowest priced car on this continent. We are now building—we will continue to build --the best car in the low-priced field. OBJECT: PRACTICABILITY We now have a single objective in design and manufacturing: to build the most durable, useful and practical automobile on the market. Studebaker aims to pro- vide the ideal car for Canadian motorists. More than ever, Studebaker will be an ideal car for U.S. motorists who seek to combine maximum thrift with maximum function. Our reputation in those two fields has always been outstanding. We will strive to improve it—this year, next year, every year. WHAT OTHER COMPANY OFFERS AS MUCH? Studebaker feels it now offers an ideal car for the heavy duty use that practical motorists want from a car. We now offer heavy duty safety -frame construction. Our body metal is of thicker gauge. We have a body coating process that really stops rust before it starts. Our windshield wipers sweep the entire vision field of both driver and passenger. We alone offer -super-safety disc brakes as an option on every car in our line. Our 15 inch wheels offer maximum road clearance, fuel econ- omy, road stability and tire life. Our Twin Traction differential moves power from slipping wheel to gripping wheel in deepest mud or snow. Our cars are the only ones with fully padded instrument panels in ALL models—even the lowest priced. We alone in the North American industry pro- vide a full dash panel of readable instru- ments without a single blinking "idiot light". We alone have a dash panel clean and free of dangerous switch levers, as still another safety bonus. Our cars have the most head room, flattest floors, greatest interior room, wheelbase considered, of any vehicles in the industry. Our variety of engines, transmissions and rear axle options let you custom build your own power train of your Studebaker for maxi- mum economy, speed, pulling power or acceleration, or an ideal blend of all four. Wide options in paint, body styles and interior trim allow custom ordering for appearance. WHAT THE EXPERTS THINK This month, Studebaker was named "Car of the Year" by Canada's Track and Traffic Magazine. They gave us their coveted Golden Wheel Award for the second time in three years. We are holders of an earlier "Car of the Year" award by Car Life Magazine. We were recently named "Recreation Car of the Year" by recreation directors of the United States. Our cars have been singled out for warm praise by every leading U.S. and Canadian auto magazine this year because of the scores of features which are exclusively ours. WHY MANUFACTURE IN CANADA? Studebaker has always been a relatively small volume builder of very high quality automobiles. Following our new formula for success, Studebaker will not attempt to out -advertise, out -produce and out -sell the giants in today's enormously compet- itive U.S. auto industry. From a smaller, more efficient base in Canada, however, Studebaker can continue to build the kind of quality of which we are proud. We can build with a profit in limited volume and continue to sell these quality vehicles to the discriminating motorists who have preferred our kind of quality over the years—both in Canada and the U.S. Our Hamilton plant is perfectly matched to this immediate sales potential of Studebaker. WHERE ARE WE GOING We will expand and develop the capacity of our Canadian plant to meet the com- bined demands of the Canadian, U.S. and world market for our automobiles. The first stage of our plant expansion pro- gram at Hamilton is nearly completed. We can build more than 30,000 cars a year in this factory. Studebaker buyers CAN BE SURE that as demand rises in the marketplace for our cars, Studebaker will be prepared to fill that demand. There may be some short waiting periods for delivery. But a fine product is well worth waiting for. We want you to know that ample supplies of Studebaker parts and arrange- ments for the finest kind of Studebaker service will continue in the best Studebaker tradition. Canadian -build products have already established a strong reputation for quality and durability. Already, the quality of our Canadian -built Studebakers is being noted in our showrooms as a bonus for U.S. buyers. We agree, Studebaker may not be the ideal car for every buyer --either in the U.S. or Canada. But it is a product for the discriminating buyer who demands quality, durability and smartness over all other things. Don't take our word for this. Ask any person now driving a Studebaker product. Ask the man who services Studebaker automobiles, I think they will agree with me that a Studebaker will reward you with value, perform- ance, thrift and dependability—this year, next year and into the future. 1 Gordon E.
