• AN ENGINEER'S IMPRESSION OF i THE 1916 STUDEBAKER. Mr. Allan H. M'Lean, chief engineer and , a director of the Tourist Motor Company, , Hmvkfi's Bay, agents for some years past for Silent Kuight Minerva arid Studebaker motors, recently went to America with the intention of securing the agency of one of the real top-notch American cars, whatever the price. He gives his impressions and the result of his investigations in a letter to us, from which the following is an extract:—"l have examined practically ail the leading American cars, my intention being to secure the agency for a high-priced automobile. But after seeing tho new Studebaker, motors being manufactured, riding in one of them, and thoroughly investigating them, I consider it a waste of time to look for something better, which cannot be found. . . . The netr Studebaker engine is the cleanest motor manufactured in America. Its power is a revelation, and the material is second to none. Tor quietness it is equal to the Silent Knight Minerva. All the improvements, without exception, which were considered necessary from our previous experience, have been incorporated in this new Studebaker, and I could not find a single detail that I could suggest as an improvement. . . . Tha starter and lighting equipment is, in my estimation, the simplest and most reliable made. .' . . The bodywork this year is excellent, and the cabrotolet land limousine magnificent pieces of work, equal in finish and appearance to any of tho Minerva cars that we hava imported." Wo need only odd that the price of the 1916 Studebaker 4-cylinder touring car is /5345, and of tho 4-rjlinder 3-seater roadster, .£335. Adams, Ltd., N.Z.
