Little changed for 1915 for the four-cylinder powered Studebaker. The most visible change was the gas filler cap which was relocated from the cowl to the right side of the instrument panel. The placement of the cap may seem unusual, but in 1915, cars were often filled from gas cans. This location made for easy filling without having to reach over the cowl. Pricing for the Model SD was priced at just under $1,000 for either the roadster or the tourer. Cowl lights were removed and replaced with dimmer bulbs. The four-cylinder engine displaced 192 cubic inches and produced around 30 horsepower. It had a three-speed selective sliding gearbox with a leather-faced cone clutch. The wheelbase measured 108 inches.The 1915 Studebakers were manufactured in Detroit, and the bodies for this example were made in South Bend and shipped to Detroit for final assembly. No closed cars were offered by Studebaker in 1915.
