Three High-powered Medium-weight Goods Vehicles Possessing Many Attractive Points

Stand 58

SINCE its reintroduction . to the British market, • the Studebaker Pierce-Arrow machines have continued to gain popularity. Three models are being shown, one of which is of comparatively recent introduction.

Largest of these is a 4-5-tonner, having a 13-ft. 9-in, wheelbase and equipped with a coachbuilt cab and Wood hydraulic end-tipping gear. The body is of the drop-sided lorry type, lined with steel. This Panther model, as it is designated, costs, as shown, ,,C780, and is an attractive mediumcapacity machine, Below it, in the scale of pay-loads, comes• the Panther heavy-duty 3-4-ton model. This exhibit has a 12-ft. 9-in. wheelbase chassis costing 2395. nally, there is the Leopard 3-ton model which forms the basis of a streamlined van offered complete and finished as on the stand at £485.

All three models have six-cylindered engines, whilst in the make-up of the chassis there are numerous points that will fully repay investigation: As all models have been described in these pages comparatively recently, and at least two of them have been subjected to tests by The Commercial Motor, on which occasions they have shown themselves to possess characteristics that have evoked considerable praise, there seems no need to describe them" in detail on this occasion.—Studebaker Distributors, Ltd., 385, Euston Road, N.W.1.
