Front Seat Adjustment
The front seat is easily adjusted forward or backward. Move the control lever forward at the driver’s side
of the seat (as shown in the illustration above). This unlocks the mechanism and permits the seat to be shifted to the desired position.
In addition to this quickly adjusted shift, there are three basic positions in which the seat can be bolted by your authorized Studebaker
dealer to accommodate the leg length of the owner. From any of these basic positions, the front seat adjustment mechanism will give you
the full adjustment range.
Clutch Pedal
The clutch pedal disengages the clutch when depressed, engages it when released. The clutch pedal, depressed to the
floorboard, also operates the starter button located directly under the pedal.
Steering Post Gearshift
The steering post gearshift is operated in the conventional manner, and provides three forward speeds and
one reverse speed.
Luggage Compartment Lid and Lock
The luggage compartment lid is controlled by a lock and handle contained in the rear
emblem incorporating the license plate light and rear license plate bracket. The luggage compartment lock is operated with the same key
which operates the package compartment lock.

Windshields. An antifreeze and wetting agent is available from your dealer for injection into the water supply jar.
