Notes: Erskine "The Little Aristocrat", South Bend, Ind. Named after president of Studebaker. (Top): One-Turn Cap. Typical of the care given by Studebaker designers to even small details of convenience are the one-turn caps to the radiator and gasoline tank on the Dynamic New Erskine models. One quick turn and the cap is off, another, and the cap is again securely in place. Notice, too, the attractive new radiator emblem. (Bottom): Dynamic New Erskine Instrument Panel. Instruments in Studebaker's New Dynamic Erskine are attractively grouped in individual frames. Instruments include 80-mile-an-hour speedometer with 100,000 mile odometer, hydrostatic gasoline gauge, oil pressure gauge, ammeter and engine thermometer. Here are also the choke, and the new starter button which starts the engine without the need of a floor button. To the right is the electric lock to ignition.
