ably strong feature and worth very
careful investigation.
The gas tank on the six is carried
in the rear. This not only makes it
handler in filling. but. it means safety,
as tanks carried in the cowl are very
near the engine and in case of an acci-
dent the chances of an explosion are
decidedly greater. III you value your
life, consider this point then examine
such cars as Packard-Peerless and
other high-grade makes and you will

The relation Of power to gasoline
consumption, weight of motor, weight
of car, etc., is one not of the Six as
against the four-cylinder, but one OF
piston displacement purely. A Six of
the same piston displacement as the
-Four will use less rather than more
gasoline, other conditions being in pro-
portion along the line
A given piston displacement divided
among six cylinders makes possible a
lighter motor, lighter parts all the way
through the driving mechanism and a
lighter car in total weight, than does
the same piston displacement divided
among four cylinders This lighter
weight, the lighter reciprocating parts,
the absence of vibration in the Six,
etc., all tend to make the Six the more
economical motor.
On the Six-54 we have a piston dis
placement of 420 cubic inches. This
amount of piston divided among four
cylinders would be approximately
equivalent TO a four of 4 y bore by
65s stroke, of 4Ax6, of 5x52s, etc,
etc.
Any Hudson dealer will agree that
the 1914 SiX-54 is more economical OF
gasoline than is any 1000 pound car
of which they ever heard of any OF
these cylinder dimensions mentioned
Motors Same Size
The Six-40 31ax5 motor has a piston
displacement of 1855 cubic inches
while the Model 81 1913 had ESQ cubic
inches These motors are approx
mately the same size, yet the Four 81
engines weigh 610 pounds while the
Six-40 engine weighs $50 pounds. The
"37" 4-cylinder car weighed 3,46C
pounds ready for the road, while the
Six-4O weighs approximately 2,94(
pounds. The average mileage per gal.
Ion obtainable with the 1913 "37" was
about to 13. The mileage per gal.
Ion on the 1914 Six-40 is 13 to II.

A New-Type Six

This new car - the HUDSON Six-4O -
brings out many innovations.
The engine is type first developed in
Europe - small-bore, long-stroke motor And
Europe which deemed the Six too wasteful,
now acclains this Six as the coming type of
car
1t has made possible for the first time an
economical Six = far more economical THAN

This new HUDSON Six-4O weighs 1880

four-cylinder car, shorter, less
