The '''Studebaker Light Four''' was an automobile produced by the [[Studebaker Corporation]] of [[South Bend, Indiana]] in 1918 and 1919. The car was officially designated '''Model SH Series 19''' and available as a [[touring car]], [[sedan (car)|sedan]] and [[Roadster (automobile)|roadster]].

The Light Four rode a {{convert|112|in|mm|abbr=on}} wheelbase,<ref>{{cite book|last=Kimes|first=Beverly|title=standard catalog of American Cars 1805-1942|year=1996|publisher=Krause publications|isbn=0-87341-428-4}}</ref> and was powered by Studebaker's [[side-valve]] inline {{convert|192|cuin|cc|abbr=on}} four-cylinder engine, delivering {{convert|40|bhp|kW|abbr=on}} at 2,000&nbsp;[[Revolutions per minute|rpm]]. It shared the chassis and length with the [[Studebaker Light Six]].

The Light Four was dropped in 1920 as Studebaker shifted its model range to the more popular [[Studebaker Light Six|Light Six]], [[Studebaker Special Six|Special Six]] and the [[Studebaker Big Six|Big Six]].

Because of its low production numbers, the Light Four is considered to be a rare model by Studebaker collectors of this era of automobile. Retail prices started from US$1,125 to $1,685 (${{Inflation|US|1125|1918|fmt=c}} to ${{Inflation|US|1685|1918|fmt=c}} in {{inflation-year|US}} dollars).<ref>{{cite web |title=Studebaker Model SH |url=http://www.carsandracingstuff.com/library/m/modelsh.php |website=Crittendon Automobile Library |access-date=26 February 2021}}</ref>
