The test was made in order to demonstrate the working qualities of the Studebaker car, particularly the 1925 model, the object being to accomplish the 3000 miles journey in 100 hours’ actual running time. The car was fitted with a standard body and shod with balloon tyres as fitted to this type of car. it was rather unfortunate that rain should fall during the progress of lire run, as on the black soil roads of the west uracis irom me o!ujdai\x l/AILI iVXAtLT) ' account A MAGNIFICENT STUDEBAKER ACHIEVEMENT.

The car battled cn, however, and Roma was reached at 10.5 p.m,, three hours being ’taken to do a journey of 37 miles, The rain continued throughout Friday and Saturday, and doubts were expressed a* to whether the journey could be continued. So bad were the roads that Mr. J. Herriman, who was to guide the car .from Rcma to Blackall, signified his intention of drawing out, but the drivers, after communicating with Brisbane, decided to push on through, the mud. Not knowing the road, they were greatly handicapped, and, this, considering that they reached Lcngreach at 2,35 a.m. after 200 miles heavy going, shows what the car con do. The record being about 13 hours. After handing a letter to the Mayor of Burketown, the then immediately commenced the return journey. The road* were still bad, and the »hort time taken to cover the distance is remarkable. Nine drivers were necessary to carry out the trip, which is the longest straight-out run yet attempted in Australia, and the driver who piloted the car from and to Toowoomba .stated that the car was in perfect order when he took the wheel at that city yesterday morning. The fast time in which the journey to Brisbane was accomplished testifies to the excellent condition of the engine, which pulled the car over the whole distance again without an overhaul. it greatly retarded progress, but Balloon Tyres Roller-blind Curtain’s 4-wheel Hydraulic Brakes Blntnlarfl Six Duplex-Phaeton, H- son tor, with pyflOjfli MunrJanl Sis Diipler-lSiaetun, tv (cater, 4-wheol n Sj-m Xrit) 'i-ydranlio brake*. 4 «Jrr wbrodn. five balloon tyre* Artillery typp wheels nrO five balloon tyres USED CARS TAKEN IN PART F’AYMENI EASY TERMS ARRANCED.
