1950 Studebaker Factory Publication?

[TWChamp]

Here's a pamphlet I haven't seen before.
How often were these printed, and who were they intended for? Thanks, Tom

Started in 1935. Continued thru 1953. Most were multi page in a 8 1/2 X 11" format. Last few issues (1953) were re-named Facts Digest and were in a Readers Digest format. Some quite extensive. For example the 1947 issue was 32 pages. Most featured comparison information with competitors. All contained lots of good information on both cars and trucks. Intended mostly for salesmen so not widely circulated to the general public ergo somewhat scarce. Believe my collection is complete thru 1953 (maybe 50 or so different). Have duplicates and also reprints available. Let me know if interested.

What did Tri Tower have to do with anything?

What did Tri Tower have to do with anything?

The three towers are labeled at the tops: Design, Engineering, Production. Sounds like something the advertising agency came up with.

Maybe there should have been a 4th tower, sales!

OK, the booklet came in today's mail, and I just finished reading it. Near the end it states that the clock was standard on Commanders and Land Cruisers, but my 1950 Land Cruiser has the delete plate, and the 50 Land Cruiser I saw in French Lake Auto Parts also has the delete plate.
What's up with that?
Did the buyer request no clock and get a few dollars knocked off?

And a fifth: bad business decisions.

That might be a misprint. My 50 Commander convertible came without a clock.

It must be bad information from the advertising department, because I know I saw it in print somewhere else also.

I do not have a 1950 brochure handy, but the 1948 an 1949 brochures state that a clock is standard on the Land Cruiser.
