F,ieht L>eu, ena it c. r p 2^ m m & Commander C. KINGSFORD SMITH Squadron Read what Squadron Commander Smith and Flight Lieutenant Ulm Studebaker 5 Kingsford say about Sydney, 18th July, 1928. “ The Studebaker President Straight. Eight Sedan, which I recently purchased from you, is running so well that I am tempted to put wings on it. Before finally deciding on the President Eight I made a careful inspection of all high grade cars and selected the Studebaker because I consider its engineering design to be basically correct. I wish you to know that the road performance of the President, its luxurious comfort, and the admiration it evokes among my friends has absolutely confirmed my judgment in choosing this car.” (Signed) KINGSFORD SMITH, Co-Commander, Southern Cross. Sydney, 27th July, 1928. “Smithy and I tried ihe Studebaker President out recently and didn’t that bus pull. 1 hardly remember changing gear. The President seemed to treat all hills alike —over in top. This, combined with the extraordinary comfort, and riding ease, made our run very pleasant and we were not at least fatigued at the end of the trip.” (Signed) C. T. P. ULM, Co-Commander, Southern Cross.
