1. Climatizer Motor
2. Climatizer Motor Plus Defroster Motor
1. To open the outside right cowl ventilator, move the control lever (directly beneath the package compartment) to the left. This is the
position of the ventilator whenever you operate the Climatizer or want to draw fresh outside air into the car through the Climatizer
system. To close the ventilator, move the control lever to the right. When using Climatizer, be sure the inner ventilator door is closed.
2. Pull Climatizer control handle outward to the position which gives the temperature desired by the car occupants. The further outward the
control is pulled, the warmer the air will become.
3. Turn the Climatizer control handle clockwise to the first position to operate the Climatizer blower. Turning the control to the second
position clockwise will continue the Climatizer blower operation and will also add the operation of the defroster blower.
Air forced through the Climatizer system at car speeds above 25 m.p.h. makes use of the Climatizer blower unnecessary when traveling
steadily at or above such speeds.
4. Slight opening of one or more ventilators or windows permits some measure of directional control over circulation since warm air flow
will be increased towards such openings. For uniform temperature and defrosting efficiency throughout the entire car, however, it is
generally recommended that windows and vents be fully closed.
NOTE.—If upon entering a cold car, the accumulation of moisture on windshield and windows appears excessive, open the ventilator windows for
rapid circulation until the moisture begins to clear.
Defroster Operation Turn the Climatizer control counterclockwise to the first position for maximum hot air flow through the defroster
ducts; turn control to the second position to reduce the defroster air flow.
Climatizer and defroster are special equipment available at extra cost.
Operation of the Convertible Top
The mechanically operated top of the Studebaker convertible models is raised and lowered by an electric motor and prelubricated driving
arms and gears. The mechanism is controlled by a lever located at the left of the two control handles at the lower edge of the instrument
panel on the driver’s side of the car. Moving the lever to the left raises the top, and to the right, lowers it. When the lever is released from
either of these positions, it automatically returns to the central position, stopping the electric motor.
Always let the motor operate the top—never try to force the top up or down by hand.
Top Operation Motor Circuit Breaker
The electric motor is guarded against short circuit and overload by a 30-ampere circuit breaker. Should a short circuit or overload occur in
the top operating system, the circuit breaker will automatically interrupt the circuit and will continue to interrupt it until the cause is
eliminated.
If the circuit breaker interrupts the current flow for any reason, see your Studebaker dealer.

TO LOCK
TO LOWER THE TOP—STOP THE CAR
1. Unsnap the fasteners on both sides of the top cover at the points indicated in the illustration below. Snap the top cover boot in place on
the rear of the seat back. Remove any packages or other material from the top well behind the seat.
2. Pull both sun visors down and release the snap lock at the left of the locking handle on the header. Turn the top locking handle at the
center of the header fully to the left (counterclockwise). Lift the top free of the pilots.
3. Move the control switch lever to the right and hold it in this position until the top rests on the rear deck of the car; then release the lever.
