$1500 IS THE TOP PRICE FOR
GARS IN THE THIRD DIVISION
$1000 Low Minimum for Automobiles in This Classification Makes of Cars
Are Named.
THE man who has 'more than $1000
to spend for a motor car can usu
ally muster sufficient funds to be
come the owner of any car selling for
under $1500 and The Oregonian will,
therefore, ix the high limit price of
the third division of cars at $1500 and
expect the purchasers or. would-be
purchasers in this division to concen
trate their investigation on the 12
different makes of cap selling between
$1000 and $1500 in Portland.
The following makes of car, selling
for less than $1500 and more than $1000,
as detailed in a statistical .box accom
panying this article are as follows:
Studebaker, Overland, Buick, Chal
mers, Velie, Mitchell Junior, Hupmo
bile, Oldsmobile, Scripps-Booth eight
cylinder models, Paige of the Linwood
model, the 100 Point Kissel Six and the
Reo Six.
, STUDEBAKER.
Oregon motor Car Company.
Better finish, better equipment and
refined mechanical characteristics
without radical changes appear In the
1917 Studebaker four, which has been
given a price increase of $55. Gun
metal finish of gray with black
fenders is the most striking addition
to the appearance of the car. The
bodies are also much improved in the
aesign or the auxiliary seats which
are large and well upholstered and
slide entirely out of sight under the
rear seats when. not in use. Another
new feature is found in the reversible
front-passenger seat. Storm curtains
which open and close with the doors
without any buttoning and unbutton
ig. door pads and an all-wool tonneau
carpet among the other additions.
The Studebaker four and six are ex
actly similar in design throughout.
Both motors have their cylinders cast
in a single block of similar dimen
sions. 3 by 5 inches, and with all
parts similar from one end of the
chassis to the other, excepting where
structural dimensions differ, on ac
count of difference in the power plants.
OVERLAID.
Overland Pacific Co,
The new model 85 Overlanfl six takes
the place of the previous model 83.
One notable change' is the increased
use of pressed steel to take the place
of heavier castings. An example of
this is in the rear axle housing. An
other important alteration is in the
spring suspension which is now canti
lever. The gasoline tank has been moved to
the rear and a new form of rigid tire
support has been incorporated. The
use of a leather universal is another
innovation. . Riding comfort has re
ceived particular attention in this
model. The body provides ample seat
ing room for five-passengers on the
116-in. chassis.
A departure for the Overland Com
pany is the abandonment of magneto
ignition and the use of a battery dis
tributer system in its place. A fea
ture of the ignition system is the
switch which incorporates a thermos
tatic throw-off arrangement by means
of which it Is impossible to drain the
battery through neglect to pull out
the switch button.

necessary. Particular emphasis Is laid on the
easy riding qualities of this car at

toward Buick for a seven-passenger
