ft. NEW ZEALAND ENGINEER'S PRIVATE OPINION 01? THE STUDEBAKES. TJTe "oun'st Motor Co., Hastings, knowing that we are- closely interested in Studebaker motors, have forwarded to ua a copy of a lengthy business letter sent them by Mr. Alias 11. M'Lean, the engineer of their firm, who is at present in Detroit, investigating the claims of the 1916 models of the great American automobile manufacturers. The Tourist Motor Co. have very courteously given us permission to publish extracts from the Letter, and we extract the following paragraph as likely to interest owners and prospective owners of Studebaker cars:— "My "honest opinion about the Studebaber car is'that it is the best value for money on the American market, and as far as hnisli and workmanship are concerned it is second to none. I consider that we would be foolish to take up the agency for any higher priced car that is built here, because if we repaint the Studebaker and equip it with,wire wheels it would ha equal to the Minerva in appearance and quietness of running. Tho engine is the cleanest designed ono that I havo inspected." It may be explained that Mr. M'Lean's mission to , America was to secure the agency of a high-priced American car to take the placo of the firm's Silent Knight Minerva agency. There -is a good market in Hawke's Bay for the very best car obtainable, regardless of price. Mr. M'Lean's' honest opinion regarding the Studebaker is that there is no American car on the market better than the Studebaker at any price. The five-seater touring Studebaker (1-cylinder, 25 h.p.), with electrio self-starter and eleocric fights, sells in New Zealand for ,£345, fhe tfiree-seater Studebaker, with same equipment, being priced at JC335.
