ish it is one of the most attractive
and stylish appearing cars seen on the
road. The new touring model has

springs; Gray "a Davis electric lights
and starter system! flush doors and
stream line finish. The engine is a
four-cyinder 25-horsepower water
cooled motor. with Bosch high tension

ber OF these well-known cars.
Hudson continues to make its two
skies with detail changes mechanically,
these being principally in the leader,
the smaller model, known as the SiX-40.

past season, meeting the demands OF

Sine has been added to the body styles

The general mechanical layout o. the
Six-40 and the outward appearance are
the same practically as last season, al

nate an external intake manifold, the

augmented, 1t ranging from 40 to A.
