Autocar Handbook, 13th Ed. 1935

1935 styling remained for the most part the same, running on the same 123 inch wheelbase, but a new radiator grill treatment results again in a pronounced change in appearance of the front end.   However, this is the year of many new mechanical features for Studebaker, including the new Planar front suspension, hydraulic brakes, and automatic overdrive transmission.

 

The Planar system consists of a transverse leaf spring extending across and connecting the lower ends of the right and left steering knuckle supports.  Tubular links connect the upper ends of the steering knuckle supports to the frame side rails on each side.

When data was available from Turning Wheels (TW) or Studebaker the Complete Story (STCS), it is used.  Else, The Classic Car Database (TCCD) & The Standard Catalog of American Cars (SCAC) is used.

What we can be fairly sure of is that the same body styles, depending on the source, were sometimes listed in different terms.  SB=South Bend, LA=Los Angles, and CAN=Canada
