Notes: Erskine "The Little Aristocrat", South Bend, Ind. Named after president of Studebaker. The Custom Sedan body of the Erskine Six, Studebaker's new 2 1/2 litre car, was designed by Dietrich and reflects the utmost in European smartness. It is of full vision steel construction, with unusually narrow windshield pillars. Its custom design is reflected in tool and battery boxes set in the base of the wide crown fenders, the smart tilt of the rear tire, and Dietrich's original treatment of moulding and belt line. Beginning behind the radiator cap an embossed panel flares back over the hood, widening to merge with the belt at the cowl. It is set off by a contrasting shade of lacquer finish. The Custom Sedan is amply proportioned for five passengers: 1929
