AN ENGINEER'S IMPRESSION OF THE 191G STUDEBAKER. Mr. Allan H. Jl'Lcan, chief cngineor and a director of the Tourist Motor Company, Hawke's Bay, agents for some years past for Silent Knignt Minerva and Studebaker motors; recently went to America with the intention of securing the agency of one of the real top-notch American cars, whatever the price. He gives his impressions and the result of his investigations in a letter to lis, from which the following is an I have examined practically . all the leading American care, ray intention being to cwinro the agency for a high-priced autoffi bS after seeing the new Studebaker motors being manufactured, riding in one of them, and thoroughly investigating them, I consider it a waste of time to look for something better which cannot be found. _ . . ,' ' 16 new ' Studebaker engine is the cleanest motor manufactured in America. Its power' is a revelation, and the material is second to none. For quietness it is equal to the Silent Knight Minerva. All the imnrovements, without exception, which were considered necessary from our previous experience, have been incorporated in this new Studebaker, and I could not find a single detail that I could suggest as an improvement. _. . The 6tartor and lighting equipment is,' in my estimation, tho simplest and most reliable made. . • . The bodywork this year is excellent, and the cabrotolet and limousine are magnificent pieces of work, equal in finish and appearance to any of tho Minerva cars that we have imported," Wo need only add that the price of the 191G Studebaker touring car is .i' 345, and of tho -J-cjlinder 3-seattr roadster, ,£335.
