The Dictator name was first used on this car a mid-year decision by Studebaker to re-name the venerable 242 cubic inch Standard Six. The engine starts and runs quite well runs quietly has appropriate oil pressure (remembering that the early engines did not have very high pressures) Cold pressure shows at a little under 30 PSI. The up-dated transmission does shift very nicely. The original vacuum can fuel delivery system has been changed to an electric pump. The previous owner/restorer added a coolant recovery system. The radiator is good and works well. The car does not leak excessively although like every car of the era does leak some. The original mechanical brakes stop the car well and do stop it straight This car does have somewhat more modern aftermarket amber fog lights that do work.
Desirable military style steel wheels driver quality two tone paint and green amateur quality but serviceable Green cloth interior. The very low rust straight body is a feature of this fine car. Ownership history from new!
