Hi Guscha

The Studebaker Big Six Model EG was one of the competitors the new-for-1920 Packard Single Six 116 was up against. The Big Six really was that: 353.8 cu. in. 60 HP seven passenger touring on a 126" wb for $2,135. That versus the Single Six 116, 241.5 cu.in. 52 HP five passenger touring on a 116" wb for $3,640.

Studebaker wasn't the luxury/prestige marque that Packard was but had a reputation as a solid medium and upper-medium priced marque which must have given many prospects for the Single Six 116 cause to reconsider whether it was fully the good value for the money to be had elsewhere.
