You may have your blooded speeding horse,
We have given him up without remorse.
The glory that all the nerves can feel,
Is in a Six Studebaker wheel.
The swift and silent pedal machine,
We once considered no wise mean.
O’er us its magic has ceased to steal,
Since turning a Six Studebaker wheel.
The rushing of racing motor boats,
Our mind no longer on them dotes.
Flying through water has not the appeal,
Of a Six Studebaker steering wheel.
There is joy in a limited fast express,
If a first class ticket you possess.
But you'll better enjoy an evening meal,
From holding a Six Studebaker wheel.
Give us the still California night,
When the moon is full and shining bright.
Then life to us is never so real,
If turning a Six Studebaker wheel.
With miles of road like polished floor,
At sixty per and sometimes more,
We glide with ease mid laughters peal,
Safe at a Six Studebaker wheel.
Like a panther leaping through the air,
With plenty of power and some to spare,
For a Six Studebaker more of zeal,
You'll have when once you turn the wheel.
We'll warrant your mind will quickly fill
With thoughts for a Six so full of thrill.
To drive the ideal Six Automobile,
Get back of a Six Studebaker wheel.
—The Car with Character.
