AN ENGINEER'S IMPRESSION OF THE 1916 STjCTDEBAKER. Mr. Allan H. M'Lean, chief engineer and a director of the Tourist Motor Company, Hawke's Bay, aßonts for some years past for Silent Knight 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 us, from which' the following is an "tract:- I have examined practically all the leading American cars, my intention being to secure the agency for a high-priced automobile But after seeing the new Studebaker motors being manufactured, riding in one of -thein, and thoroughly investigating them, I consider it a -waste of time to look for something better, which cannot be found. _ . . . The new Studebaker engine is the cleanest motor manufactured in America. Its power ia a revelation, and tho material is second tn none For quietness it is equal to the Silent Knight Minerva. All the improvements, without exception, which' were considered necessary from our previous experience, have been incorporated in this new Studebaker, and I conld not find a single'detail that I could suggest as an improvement. _. . The starter and lighting equipment is, in my estimation, the siitvplest and most reliable made. . . . The bodywork this year is excellent, ana tho cabrotolet and limousine are magnificent pieces of work, equal in finish and appearance to anv of the Minerva cars that we havo imported." We need only add that tho price of the 1916 Studebaker 4-cylinder touring ear is i' 345, and of the 4-cylinder 3-scater roadster, .£335. Adams, Ltd., N.Z.
