WHAT WANGANUI’ LEADING MOTOR ENGINEER THINKS OF THE NEW ERSKINE.
The opinion of a well-known man like Mr F. Flavel is always very much sought after. He has built a flourishing business by selling only quality goods. Mr Flavel says, “Tl.e New Erskine, to my min i, has embodied in it all the very latest refinements and engineering design that has ever come to this country. It is the type of car I like to sell and rcconuncn- to my friends, for it : ■ a really quality job and further jnhances Studebaker’s reputation for being builders of high quality cars. From an engineering point of view the engine design is remarkably attractive. The new crank shaft is a. specially built up job ami counter-balanced and machined on all surfaces, and dynamically balanced by a Lancaster balancer, which is only found on the very high-price., cars. “The Erskine has now grown up and has a full 114-inch wheelbase ami is powered with a 25 h.p. motor which will give you speed up to 70 miles per hour, taking all hills in the surround ing territory with the greatest of ease on top. The Erskine’s new double drop chassis allows for cornering at a very high rate of speed, and the smart low swung body is beautifully finished in maroon. The Bedford cord upholstery is in keeping with the rest of this quality car. Tho equipment is specially generous and includes Nev Burgess Acoustic Silencer, new type four-wheel brakes, exclusive to Erskine, Lovejoy hydraulic shock absorbers, and chromium plating on all exterior bright work.
“I assure you this car is one of the snappiest, speediest little cars and is an absolute revelation to drive. I extend 1 cordial invitation to my friends and to any interested prospective owners to inspect this last word from Studebaker. “In conclusion, I would like to say that I am short of Used Cars and will give a good trade-in price on your present car as part payment for a New Dynamic Erskine.” ADAMS LTD., THE AVENUE, WANGANUI.
