* NEW ZEALAND ENGINEEIt'S PRI(7ATE OPINION OF THE STUDEBAKER. „ Tffe Tourist Motor Co., Hastings, knowing that we ara closely interested in Studebaker motors', have forwarded to us a oopy " lengthy business letter sent tliem by Mr. Alliiii 11. Jl'Lean, the en. gineer of their firm, who is at present in Detroit, investigating the claims of tho l'jlii models of tho great American automobile manufacturers. The Tourist Motor Co. .have very courteously giv6n us permission to publish extracts from tho letter, and we extract the following paragraph. as likely to interest owners and prospective ovuers of Studebaker cars:— ''My honest opinion about the Studebaker car is that it is tho best value for money on the Amorican market, and as far as hnisli And workmanship are concerned it is second to none. 1 consider that we would be foolish to take up the agency for any higher priced c&r that is built here, because if we repaint the StudeDaker and equip it with wire _wheels it would be equal to the Minerva in appear, ance and quietness of running. The engine is the cleanest designed one that I have inspected." It may bo explained that Mr. M'Lean'a mission to America was to secure tho agency of a high-priced American car to take the place of the firm's Silent Knight Minerva agoncy. Thero 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-«eater touring Studebaker (4-cylinder, 25 h.p.), with olectrio self-.'tirter and electric lights, sells in New Zealand for ,£315, flie throseater Studebaker, with same equipment, being priced at .£335.
