dary. Hudson has no cause to underrate them. For it holds the stock speed and power rec ords. And the Super-Sx motor has beatN1 the worlds fastest racing cars not once, but many times.
 Why the Super-Six Principle
 Gives the Mastery
 The records prove it is open champion. It draws distinction of type, size, cylinders or price, It has against the field.
 But Hudson could not hold such supremacy without somebasic advantage that others cannot use
 Its dominance lies in the Super-Six motor which controls vibration. Perfection would mean vibratonless motor, free of friction. No ma- chinery is that. But the Super-Six motor comes within 10 per cent of it-closer to the ideal than any other type. Nearer approach seems im- possible.
 In the exclusive Super-Six motor, power is in- creased 72 per cent, and motor efficiency 80 per cent. Endurance is practically doubled.
 Naturally such car is in demand Since it was brought out five years ago, it has been the largest selling fine car in the world This year. as in all years previous, many. who want Hud- sons will have to wait for delivery.

There are places where steel and
