Studebaker Stock Cars Clear Steep City Hills in Maryland Tests
In Mount Washington and Baltimore tests two AMOCO-GAS powered Studebaker cars impressed observers. A President Convertible Coupe with two passengers hit 35 mph up North Avenue while heavily loaded, and 23 mph on the crest. A Dictator 8 Sedan rose the hill from a standing start at 21 mph. A Dictator 6 driven by a woman reached 25 mph up Mountain Pass and 23 mph on a fountain turn. Speed readings were checked by Stewart-Warner and reporters noted the feats at Baltimore’s famed hill tests.
