an announcement. Wo have to announce that the seoond series of 1916 "Studebaker" ears are now on their way to New Zealand, per s.s. Takehu, from. Montreal, duo to arrive shortly. These cars come from the Canadian assembling and finishing branch, Walkerville, Ontario, and are romarkable for their exceptionally fine finish, necessitated by the demands of the overseas Studebaker trade. Many valuable dotail improvements are incorporated in the second series models, one of the most noteworthy of these being the' provision of independent Sftd separately adjustable front seats of the "bucket" type, together with adjustable pedals. This refinement should especially appeal to the lady driver or the exceptionally tall or short man, whose comfort is not adequately provided for by the usual fixed dimensions in the front of the car. Another important modification is the relegation of the petrol tank to the rear of the car, and the provision of a very efficient vacuum feed to carburetter. There nre many minor modifications and improvements,- all designed to add to the comfort and convenience of both driver' and' passengers, while in appearance the car is handsomer than ever. The now Studebakers will be on view at Studebaker Agencies shortly, and all interested in the latest developments in American automobile design are invited to inspeot them.
