A NEW ZEALAND ENGINEER'S PRIVATR OPINION OF THE STUDEBAKER.

Tne Tourist Motor Co., Hastings, knowins that we aw closely interested in Studebaker motors, have forwarded to us a copy of a lengthy business letter sent them by Mr. AIW n. M'Lean; the engineer of their firm, who is at present in Detroit, investigating the claims of tho ISIB models of the great American automobile manufacturers. The Tourist Motor Co. have very courteously, given us permission to publish extracts from tho fetter, an<l wo extract 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 tho best value for money on the American market, and as far as hni& and workmanship are concerned it is second to none. 1 consider that ws I would "be toolisli to take up the agency for any higher priced car that is built I here, because if we repint the Studeuaker and equip it with' wire wheels it would bo equal to the Minerva in appearonce and quietness of running. The enl»ino is the cleanest designed one that I nave inspected." It may be explained that Mr. M'Lcan's mission to, America was to secure the agency of a high-priced American car to take the placo of tho firm's Silent Knight Minerva agency. There is a good market m liawkes Bay Cor tho very best car obtainable, regardless o£ price. Mr. M'Lean s honest opinion regarding the Studebaker is that there is no Vmerican car on tiie market better than the Studebaker at any price. The hve-senter touring Studebaker (i-cylinder, 25 h p.), with electric and elecii'ic lights, sells in New Zealand for .£345, Tne tfiree-seater Studebaker, with sarao equipment, being priced at 1'335.
