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. |

Studebaker - Black and white 9" x 13 1/2" ad that is for the 1937 Studebaker. The ad starts off with the headline that "Where there's HOPE there's life, say Artist Andrew Loomis and Maestro Richard Himber". The ad is tieing in with the movie Red, Hot And Blue and the text goes, "New York, Chicago - all America - are talking about Bob Hope, sensational comedy and singing star of the musical hit, Red, Hot And Blue. And offstage, Bob Hope is talking about little else but his exciting new Studebaker, a fitting spotlight car for this youthful spotlight star. "It's de-lovely," Bob Hope describes his Studebaker to interviewers. "It's got the sophistication and rhythm of a Cole Porter number, the economy of a Frenchman spending his own dough!" See and drive the new Studebaker first, before you put a dollar into any 1937 car...the amazingly low-priced Dictator that outshines all 9 other sixes...the magnificent new State President Eight, inexpensive but worthy rival of the proudest, costliest cars. Either is easy to buy on a time payment basis that challenges the lowest, thanks to Studebaker's C. I. T. budget plan". The ad contains pictures of Bob Hope, Ethel Merman and Jimmy Durante as well as some of the producers of the movie. I find the statement at the lower right side of the ad somewhat humorous, it says "Studebaker Not Lowest Priced...But Almost". |

Speaking of this kind of experience the headline claims that "Here's insurance that no money can buy you in any other car". The text urges you, before you buy a new car, visit some used car lots and see which cars are selling for the highest price. This should convince you to buy a new Studebaker.

Lark Hardtop - Full color 9 1/2" x 13 1/2" ad for a car that is so amazing that You have to drive the Lark to believe it. There is a picture of a Brown Hardtop with two occupants going up an incline with such speed that the sand and trees in the background are nothing but a blur. The text mentions a long list of new items or improvements in the car and talks about the "thousands of everyday owners" who tested it and agree with Harold Gilchrist, a Philadelphia project engineer, who has said that "You get the feel of driving a larger car and yet you have the maneuverability of a smaller car". |

Studebaker Lark - Full color 10" x 13 1/2" ad that has a photo of a Black Two-Door Studebaker Lark parked in front of a building while two men, in suits, are standing behind the trunk talking over some business proposals. The headline says "How to Get More Compact Car Value by Spending Less". It then asks you to "Consider that only The Lark, among all compact cars can offer you: * Floors that are flush with the doorsills for step-in without step-down. * High, wide doors (13 sq. ft.) for upright entry. * Oval steering wheel for comfortable, safe knee clearance, * Unprecedented response from the most performable ram-induction type engine in the compact field, the new Lark Skybolt Six (or the National Economy Champion V-8). * Padded safety dash as standard equipment. * Biggest brakes of any compact for extra safety. * Less overhand, front and rear, than in any other compact for better riding stability. * More inside room in less over-all length than any other compact. * Stand-apart styling - the only design in the compact field that doesn't look like somebody else's. * Widest range of body models in the compact field (7 in all). Add in all this the fact that Lark prices start so low, you can save up to $532 over eight other compacts, and you have compact car value you can't beat. See for yourself. Visit a Studebaker dealer and ask for a demonstration ride. You have to drive - and price - The Lark to believe it!". |

Studebaker Gran Turismo Hawk - Full color 9 1/2" x 13" ad for another of Studebaker's unusual and unique cars. The ad has a picture of a Black Gran Turismo Hawk parked next to a white fence as a couple stand and look it over. The lady seems to be looking at the trunk figuring at how many suitcases it will hold and the man is looking toward the engine compartment wondering what it will do. The ad headline formally announces that "Studebaker invites your inspection of a distinctive new family sports classic The Gran Turismo Hawk designed and made in the meticulous tradition of the great European road cars and offering the comforts and conveniences preferred by the discerning American motorist. This ad is larger than my scanner bed so the outer edges of the ad will not be visible in the scanned view. |

Studebaker Larks - Full color 9 1/2" x 13 1/2" ad for the different styles of Larks they were offering to the public. There is a very picturesque photo of a western scene where a group of people are gathered on a hill behind three different Larks that probably brought them up. There is a Black Daytona Hardtop with a sunroof (nothing like the sunroofs of today), a White Lark Wagon and a Red Daytona Convertible. No claims are made for the cars other than urging you to rush to your Studebaker dealer. |

The headline simply states "Bon Vivant..." and the text mentions the continental design and the aerodynamic styling before reminding us that "this is a high permormance automobile in every sense of the word". It mentions too some of the safety features and calls it "probably the world's safest car" |
