The Rockne line, named after legendary Notre Dame football coach Knute Rockne, was produced for a very limited time between 1932 and 1933, making this ephemera a significant piece of automotive history. The ad highlights Studebaker's performance at the Indianapolis 500-mile race and provides a list of Chicago-area dealership locations, including Michigan Blvd, Broadway, and Evanston.
