A v F ( \V ZEALAND ENGINEEK'S PBI--4 VATE OPINiON OP THE STUDS- • baker. T.Te Tourist Motor Co., Hastings, knowIng that we ara closely interested in Studebaker motors, have forwarded to tib a copy of a Tenrfhy busiriwa letter sent them by Mr. Allah IT, Jl'lean, the engineer of their firm, who is at present in Detroit, investigating tho claims of tho lOlti models of the great American automobile manufacturers, rne Tourist Motor Co. have very courteously given us Demission- to publish extracts from- tho letter, and we cxthict the following paragraph as likely to interest owners and prospective owners of Studebaker cars "My honest opinion about the Studebaker oar is that it is the best value for money on ttio American market, and as far as hiiitfli and workmanship are concerned it is second to none. I consider that wo would be foolish to take up the agency for any higher priced car that is built hero, bccauso if we repaint ,tlie Studeoaker and equip it with wire wheels it would bo equal to file -Minerva in appearniico and quietness of running.. The en"ino is the cleanest designed one that I Lvc inspected." It- may be explained that Mm M'Leaii's mission to America was to sccure iho agency of a high-priced American car to take tl>« place of the firm's Silent Knight Minerva ngency. There is a good market in Hawkea Bay tor the vcrv best car obtainable, regardless of price. Mr. M'Leau's honest opinion regarding the Studebaker is that there is no American car on tiie market better than the Studebaker, at any price. The live-scatcr touring Studebaker (1-cylinder, 25 li.p.), with electric self-starter and electric lights, sells in New Zealand for .£345, tho threfl-seatnr Studebaker, with same eouipment, being priced at .£335.
