Unlike other cars entered in the
Memorial Day Races at Cincinnati
the Hudson Super-Six Specials were
not designed as racing cars They are
the regular stock Super-Six Cars with
changes that increased their speed
and made them more suitable for rae
ing, but that have, not altered their
design.
All that was done to these cars
could be done at nominal cost to any
one Of the $4,000 Hudson Super-Six
Cars now in use.
Not Built to Win-Built to Endure.
There were many cars entered that
were admittedly faster than the Hud-
son. But the speed a al shows for a
few laps is not always an indication
of what may be expected in a $50 Mile
grind. .a
Hudsons are matched against the
specially designed racing cars that
that they may prove their endurance.
Whatever position they finish in is due
to their ability to maintain a high
speed without mechanical break down.
The Super-Six motors are 8 IL by
5 inches in size, exactly the same size
as the motors used in all Hudson
Super-Six stock cars. Most of the
racing ri in the sweepstakes event
have larger motors than the Super
Skies and the cars weigh from 500 to
700 pounds less than the Hudsons.
Most of the cars entered bear names
that are not known in the field of
pleasure cars. They are built solely
for the purpose Of racing. Hudson
cars are built to show Hudson
engineers how to build better Hud-
sons.
What May Be Expected Of Stock
Super-Sixes.
All tests made by Hudson Super
Six Cars indicate, what may be ex-
pected of any Hudson Super-Six Car.
Hudsons made their fine showings
at Cincinnati by staying in the race
when other and faster cars were COM
PEELED tosdrop out.
That is what you want of an auto
mobile. You want a car that will not
break down under stress of any service
you will ever impose.
Of course you are not buying a rae
ing car. You will never want to drive
$50 Miles at a speed of 1O1 Miles an
hour. You won't ever want to cross
the continent in record time and then
turn around and make the round trip.
in 10 days, 81 hours. That is what
a z Passenger Hudson Super-Six did.
And you don't want to drive 1879 miles
in "a hours as a stock Hudson Super
Six Chassis did when it brokes the "a
hour record by 81 per cent.
But yoX want a car that will keep
as long as you will ever want
it to 60. What the Hudson Super-Six
has proved in endurance in speed
trials and what has proved in the
races by the Specials, far
excel in severity any test that anyone
is ever likely to make.
Any a will run we'll for a time on
city b%oulevards. Any car will. show
good speed for a time. But what the
car will do under rough usage and
what it will do in a grind equalling
that of the speedway al indications
what it will do in years of service.
You would have been firmly convinc-
ed of Hudson endurance had. you seen
he Super-Sixes at Cincinnati.
Don't think the Super-Six is a racing
ar. But racing cars must stand up
under the hardest service . We are
proving that the Hudson Sup
is an enduring Car. That it
will meet every service task without
