It's a racing helmet. | 0:04 | |
I wore this one the last week | 0:05 | |
when I was taking a test track run | 0:06 | |
in a new Studebaker, Golden Hawk. | 0:08 | |
Most thrilling ride in my life. | 0:11 | |
I have some pictures to show you what I mean. | 0:12 | |
And here we are at the track. | 0:15 | |
Our driver is Bill Holland | 0:16 | |

and chief tested driver of Motorsport magazine. | 0:22 | |

Riding easily now at a speed most cars dream to reach. | 0:38 | |
How we old those curves. | 0:41 | |
Just as safe as can be every mile of the way. | 0:43 | |
Ah the test is over and all I can say is, wow, what a ride. | 0:47 | |
Of course you wouldn't drive a Golden Hawk | 0:51 | |
the way Bill Holland does, | 0:52 | |
but it's sure good to know | 0:54 | |
you've got that extra power whenever you need it. | 0:55 | |
Even when you're driving down a city street. | 0:57 | |
The way you see me there, on my way to pick up some friends. | 0:59 | |

so many folks fall in love with this golden car | 1:04 | |
at first sight. | 1:07 | |
They can see it as a sports car, right? | 1:08 | |
