HUDSON SUPER
SIX POWERFUL
Builders Claim New Motor Be-
gins Revolution in Power
Plant Construction

In announcing the new seven-pas-
senger Hudson Super-SiX car, which
made such a big comparison at the
New York and Chicago shows, l.. II.
Hagerling of the Hudson Sales Com
pany, states that the Hudson Super
Six is not merely a new model with
minor rehnements, but it is an abso-
lutte upheaval of all present impress
sions and beliefs regarding motors,
and particularly siN-cylinder motors.
| The builders claim the Hudson Super
| Six develops the highest power per
cubic inch displacement of any auto
mobile motor ever built The fuel
consumption at DO miles is about the
same as like sized motors at 20 miles.
! The motor runs as smoothly at low
/ speeds as 1t does at high speeds. This
means that the life of the motor is in
/ creased due to its smoothness or lack
OF vibration. Therefore, thisGs- not a
motor that needs the usual overhaul
ing every season, misuse or accidents,
| OF course, excepted. The object of
| nigh speed in the motor is not merely
nigh speed in the car. It can be util-
lied for speed if the driver wishes, but
the taet that the motor is capable of
this high speed insures power, fleXibil-
tty, ease of control, quick acceleration
and reserve capacity for difficult roads
or nils. 1t gives the ability to creep
at low speed on high gear. The Hud-
son Super-Six can be driven at a walk
ing pace on high gear. 1t gives the
ability to accelerate quickly, to climb
hills on high gear and to avoid chang
ing gears.
The new car attains the luxury of
motion, the silent gliding at any speed
In way superior to anything before
known. Every reason for an eight or
twelve-cylinder car has vanished
II. AtN &I,
the four-cylinder class is in the slight
est degree comparable to this new
Hudson
In beauty, luxury and finish the
Hudson Company has done its best to
reach the apex in the new car, both
IN IN open and closed models of which
there are six. 1t is a masterpiece OF
beauty. The car has new body lines.
The radiator is higher. The line of
the car sweeps in an unbroIxen curve
direct from the radiator to the back
of the rear seat. The windshield is
slanted. The car has the dividing
cowl on the back of the front seat. All
the upholstery is I'm genuine grain
leather. No fabric leather is any
where employed. The wheeIbase has
been increased to 1851 inches.
There is more room than ever before,
yet the car retains its low, graceful,
racy appearance, so much desired
"A new vacuum feed system with the
supply tank in the rear of the car. and
the feed tank beneath the cowl has
been developed specially for the Hud-
son Super-SiX. Also a new carbure-
tor has been developed which is a
marvel of inventive skill. Only one
chassis is furnished for the Super-Six.
| but on this chassis are built six bod
les, the phaeton, the touring sedan,
the cabriolet, the Limousine, the town
car and the roadster Prices range
from S1,375 for the phaeton to $4,000
for the limousine and the town car,
these prices being f. o. b. Detroit.
During the last six months the ca
pacity of the Hudson factory has been
! practically doubled. The company IS
now building almost every part of its
car in its own factory.
Demonstrators and sample cars are
already being shipped and every as
surance is given of prompt delivery
| to buyers Immediately after January
/. No one who wants a Hudson car
will have to wait for it. The OUTPUT
for the year will be 10000 cars. A
| greater number of high grade cars
than ever before has been produced
in the history of the industry. The

of the Hudson Sales Company. antici-
pates the same degree of interest here
as has attended the showing of the
| Super-Six in other cities.
