DUE THIS SPRING
Demand to Outstrip Supply
Before Full Production Can
Be Resumed in Early Sum-
mer.

There will be another acute short
age of automobiles before produc-
ton can be returned to normal, ac-
cording to dealers and manufacture
ers. The problem Of how we are
going to meet the spring demand is
becoming more pressing every day
An army Of buyers who delayed
their purchases of cars because OF the
fear Of gasless sundays. the specter
of fuel rationing, or other CAUSES.
have been besieging the market ever
since the armisrice was signed.
In the case OF the Super Six the
Hudson factory has never been able
to keep up with the demand. When
the entire facilities of the big plant
were turned over to the Government
production was halted and the return
to normal production will not be
possible before June.
Few Super Skies are available
now and the number is decreasing
every day One reason for this is
that the super Six is the most popu-
lar fine car in the world. More than
so, 900 have proven themselves in the
hands of their owners in the past
three years.
Buyers who delay their purchases
until Spring are going to face seri-
Gus situation. Merely having the
money to buy or the desire to buy,
won't be SUFFICIENT because there will
be no cars available We all know
that the demand this year is going
to be the heaviest in the history of
the automobile industry.
ITO satisfy this demand in the face
of the reduced production is going to
be almost Impossible. The only way
out for the man who is intending to
purchase car this spring is to do it
now. To delay may mean that he
will be lett without a car Just at a
time when he may want it most.
The Hudson Super Six, always
noted for it's individuality, will pro-
this year with some notable surprises
in new body creations Of greater
beauty and utility than ever before.
THE daintiness and luxury of the
Cabriolet. the smartness Of the four
passenger Coupe. the utility and
comfort Of the Limousine and Tour
ing Limousine and Sedan will be
shown to best advantage beside the
richly finished, coy and speedy
looking four and seven passenger
PhaetonS.
Its mechanical perfection having
been thoroughly demonstrated dur
ing the past three years by more
than $4,000 owners. the GLASSES is

convenience in driving. Hudson. the
largest builder Of fine cars in the
world, is also the largest builder of
enclosed body types, and, in fact.
was a pioneer in this development
which has made the automobile even
a greater necessity and convenience
in winter than it is in summer.
The fact. also that Hudson design
and mechanical excellence has been
so standardized that there have been
no radical changes for years and
that a Hudson car built SIX years
ago is still modern and up to date in
appearance is Of the greatest inn
portance to the owner. Because of
this policy Hudson used cars COM
mand the very highest prices and
are always in demand.
1T was only a few years ago
when every automobile was a one
lunger'-that the first touch of frost
drove every car into winter quar-
ters. Today every Super-Six is
built to afford full protection and
comfort in any kind Of weather.
This policy has been one Of the
