AS SIMPLE AS LOWERING A WINDOW BLIND. THE STUDEBAKER DUPLEX BODY DOUBLES MOTORING COMFORT. The roller blind for household use has stood the test of time as the most convenient and reliable of blinds. The same principle has now been used by Studebakers as a feature of the new Duplex bodv, designed to give advantages of both closed and open car construction, with the change-over a matter of seconds. In bright, warm weather, when the motorist revels in the cool breeze created by the car’s motion, the Duplex body Studebaker functions as an open car. When dark clouds gather, when an icy wind blows from the rainy quarter and the first drops of the storm come pattering down—then, down also conic the snugfitting, hitherto invisible, roller-blind side panels, held firmly at sides, top and bottom, when in place, and absolutely wind and water proof. The driver without leaving the car, or even his seat, can, in thirty seconds, convert a Duplex Studebaker from an open touring car to a snug sedan. No motorist needs to be told 'the advantage over the ordinary hood and ‘ side-cur-tain.s that the Duplex construction offers. Duplex Studebakers, too, arc not high-priced. The Standard Six Duplex-Phaeton sells in New Zealand at £442, with American catalogue specicatio’n. Finish in Parisian red is £lO extra, and spare tire and tube costs £lO extra. Let us show you what a lot of extra comfort the Duplex feature gives to motoring., Adams, Ltd., New Zealand Agents for Studebaker Motors.
