THE CLEVELAND CAR.

FOR COLONIAL ROADS. THE IDEAL AT LAST. From out of long experience in building motor-cars to suit roads similar to our own, the United States of America has at last evolved what appears to be the ideal car for Thames Valley and Hauraki Plains roads. This car, the "Cleveland,” ; .s a finely-designed six-cylinder 5-seate er, though of suejh- commodious proportions that there would be no difficulty in accommodating six persons. The; car is electrically equipped throughout, with self-starter, etc., and the tyres are the well-known Goodrich cord tyres, which, with a wheel, base of 114 and springs, ensure easy riding on rough roads. Designed by Whitson (one of the leading car designers in U.S.A.), the “Cleveland” is about the most easily get-at-able car the writer has seen, being very obviously under the direction of a man conversant with the tiroubles encountered on the road, and the making of adjustments on the journey. The engine is entirely closed in, and the carburetter high up—above the reach of a good depth of flood water on the road. There is a good ten inches of clearance under the front axle, and the radiator has an exceptionally large cooling sur-, face. The latest, model of the "Cleveland,” which is selling for £650, may be seen at the Paeroa Engineering Company’s garage.. Mr D. Leach will give demonstrations to prospective purchasers.
