The Studebaker Light Four was a car from the late 1910s, manufactured by the Studebaker Corporation from 1918 and 1919

History

in South Bend (Indiana) for the model years 1918 and 1919. The Studebaker Light Four  car was officially called Model SH Series 19 and it was avaliable as an touring car, sedan and roadster in Dark blue  .

The Light Four had a wheelbase of 112 inches (2,845 mm) and was powered by a 3,176 cc four-cylinder in-line engine (bore × stroke = 88.9 mm × 127 mm) developing 40 bhp (29 kW) at 2,000 rpm. With Wood wheels and tyres 32 x 3 1/2 inches. 

The engine power was transmitted via a leather cone clutch and a Selective sliding  three-speed gearbox with shift lever in the center of the car to the rear wheels. The foot brake acted on outside band brakes on the rear wheels. Included in the price a  top hood, wind-
shield, speedometer, battery indicator, electric horn and demountable rim. 

In 1920, Studebaker let the Light Four expire and from then on only made six-cylinder cars.Because of its low production figures, the Light Four is considered by Studebaker collectors to be a rare model of its time.
