A. NEW ZEALAND ENGINEER'S PEIVA'I'E OPINION OF THE STTOEbaker. Tne "Tourist Motor Co., Hastings, knowine that wo aro closely interested in Studcbaker motors, have forwarded to us ii. codv of a lengthy business letter sent them by Mr. Allan 11. Jl'Loau, the engineer of their firm, who is at present in Detroit, investigating iho claims of tlio 1016 models of the great American automobile manufacturers. The Tourist Motor Co. have very courteously given us permission to publish extraots from tho letter and we extract the following parasrranh as likely to interest owners and prospective owners of Studebaker cars "Mv honest opinion about tho Studebaker oar IS that it is the bast value for\money on tlie American market, and as far as tmif&i and workmanship arc concerned it is second to none. I cousider that we would be foolish to take up tho agency for any higher priced car that is built here because Ai wo repaint the StudeDake'r and equip it with wire wheels it would bo equal to tlie Miuerva in appearance and quietness of running. The encine is the cleanest designed one that I liavo inspected." It may be explainod that Mr. M'Lcan's mission to America was to secure tho agency of a high-priced American car to take the place of tho lirnv's■ Silent Knight Minerva agency. There is a good market in Hawke'a Bay for tho very best car obtainable, regardless of price. 'Mr. M'Lean's honest opinion regarding the Studcbaker is that there is no American ear on the market better than the Studebaker at any price. Tin)' five-soatcr touring Studebaker (4-cylindor, '25 h.p.), with electric 6cU-st»uer and electric lights, sells in New Zealand for -£3J5, flie three-soater Studebaker, with saiuo equipment, being priced at .£335.
