Why do we call the 1965 Studebaker the Common-Sense car?
Because it's built so mechanically sound a man with reasonable driving habits can drive it for years without a major repair. Common-Sense.
Because the body style doesn't change. You save money when you buy it. You save money when you drive it. You save money when you trade it. Common-Sense.
Because it's functionally-sized at both front and rear. You can park it in incredibly short spaces. Drive over bumps and dips without nose-diving or tail-dragging. Yet, it has a full-sized six passenger middle that allows headroom for hats. And leg room for legs. Common-Sense.
Because either one of its two new engines will take you as far on a gallon of gas as a gallon of gas is meant to go. Possibly a little farther. Common-Sense.
Because Studebaker has more standard equipment features than absolutely any car in its field. Dual safety brakes, fade-proof, air-cooled brake drums, complete windshield washer system, and electric wipers are to name only a few. There are 17 more. All at no extra cost. Common-Sense.
So now you know 10 or 12 reasons why we call the 1965 Studebaker the Common-Sense car. You might find 2 or 3 of these reasons in other cars too. But all? Only in a Studebaker! As Horace Greeley once said, COMMON SENSE IS VERY UNCOMMON.
