NEW HUDSON a
IS A CLASSY CAR
Masterpiece Of Auto Designer
Of World Wide Repu-
tatiOn

Most every automobile Of national
reputation is represented in Whining
ton and many of these cars have long
since shown the newest 1911 models
at the local agencies. 1t is doubtful,
however, if any have been received
with such intensified interest as that
displayed at the motor mart OF The
Bradford Company, where Howard u.
Collins latest creation, the new Hud-
son "33," is on exhibition.
This new car, for which scores Of
prospective motorists have waited to
point of anxiety, enjoys rather a
unique distinction among all the 1911
cars in that It is the only strictly new
car of the season. In every detail Of
construction it looks the part Of "an
original" Howard r. Coffin, the de-
signer, has a worldwide reputation
as q genius i'm motor car engineering
His latest creation is in no way a
copy. yet it follows in many respects
the lines Of the highest grade Italian,
French and German cars. For four
years he has worked on the ideas en-
bodied I'm this new "33" and in addi-
tion has combined all his expert
knowledge gained in the design and
construction of four previous success
full automobiles. In the building of
this new model which experts have
termed Collins masterpiece"
AT its very moderate price of $3.50
the Hudson "33" is a distinct advance
I'm motor car designing. It fairly bris-
ties with refinement and bears the
stgmp OF an individuality rarely seen
i'l any but the highest priced cars.
Simplicity Of constructive parts is
probably the most amazing feature Of
this new car, for no less than close
to 900 fewer parts are used in the
chassis than in the average car Of
equal size and power. And in the
adoption of this design Mr. Coffin has
proven that the use of such new parts
has in no way affected it's efficiency.
The motor is a thirty-three horse
power with four cylinders in enbloc
with a stroke four by four and half
It has an extra heavy crank shaft with
| large bearings and valves are all on
| the left side. The carburetor is on
the right side All the valve mechan-
ism is contained In dustproof cham
| Der. The water pump and magnetic
are located in front of the motor, both
On a single transverse shaft. A par
! ticular feature Of the motor is its eX-
treme silence. Whether running idle
or driving the car at twenty-five OF
thirty miles an hour there is scarce
! ly quiver or sound. Another feat
ure of the motor and transmission
plant and the rear of the chassis is the
noticeable absence Of the many rods

some cars look like mass of never
to-be-understood mechanism. In the
! fabrication the grease cups are all
easy of access and these cups are also
found on all spring shackles. The
body of the car is made OF alumiloid
sheet metal throughout and the run
ming boards are of aluminium. This
gives car much lighter than any o
it's class and yet every vital part is
unusually heavy and strong.
In appearance the Hudson "33" il
strikingly handsome. II has a Ions
wheel base of ia inches with bis
thirty-four-inch wheels. The body il
finished In Hudson blue with a gra,
pin stripe while the gear and wheels
are finished in gray The tonneau Il
extraordinarily large and roomy anC
is fitted with robe and foot rails an,
floor mat. The dash is free from al
attachments. A simple key loci
switch and a sight feed sunk leve
with the dash is all there is on it. Tn
steering post is located at just tn
right angle to add grace to the gen
eral appearance Of the car, while tn
steering wheel, eighteen inches 4
diameter, is extra large.
