    More than eighty years ago, Albert Russel Erskine, President of the Studebaker Corporation, came to the decision that the world automobile market would shortly demand a car of the European type, built to the standards of the fine American car.

After exhaustive investigation both abroad and in this country, followed by the building of 15 experimental chassis and bodies and countless road tests at Studebaker's million dollar proving ground, a remarkable new-type car evolved by Studebaker engineers.

Because Mr. Erskine was primarily responsible for the development of this evolutionary new car, the board of directors of the Studebaker Corporation unanimously decreed that it should be named the "Erskine Six".

The model on sale is supposed to have been imported in Argentina as new. The list of owners is not known. The last full restoration has been done in 1980. It has been sold to the actual owner in 1982. Since there, the vehicle has been maintained in excellent mechanical and body condition.

It is a very rare model, most probably unique in Argentina. Very few models are known over the world: see the site: The Official Registry of the Studebaker Erskine
