The aptly named Studebaker Model EK Big Six boasts an expansive, 126-inch-wheelbase chassis and a genuinely large, potent 353.8-cubic-inch L-head straight-six delivering 60 horsepower to the rear axle through a selective, sliding three-speed transmission. While some features such as solid wood artillery wheels rang back to the Brass Era, the EK presents as quite a modern automobile overall, with handsome, crisp styling that for 1922 included a single-piece windshield fitted with dual spotlights, redesigned headlights, and a courtesy light on the left-hand side. Several body styles were available, the grandest of them being the Seven-Passenger Touring, an example of which is offered here.

Sporting a dignified and attractive older restoration in black and maroon, this relatively uncommon Model EK Big Six is fitted with numerous appealing features that augment its inherent appeal, including nickel-plated headlamps, a Lorraine driving light, Studebaker radiator temperature gauge, rear-mounted spares, cowl lights, and wind wings. In addition, a set of window curtains help keep the weather at bay, while a 1922 Missouri plate adds an authentic period touch to the exterior.

The wooden dashboard carries a Van Sicklen speedometer, Studebaker clock, ampere meter, and National Gauge oil meter. Understood to have been restored in Warren, Ohio sometime around the new millennium, this imposing Studebaker was brought into Sonny Schwartz’s Suzy Q Collection in 2013.
