The first time you drive the Hupmobile
Eight yourself, you will understand the
subtle change that is taking place among
buyers of the finer cars, and why it is
taking place.
For you will find in this beautiful Eight
the final luxury of smooth motoring
A rhythm of engine action and road
action that leaves you eager to 60 on,
even at the end of long days tour
A car SO fine in every phase and detail
of behavior that you would invent rea-
sons for quite unnecessary trips here and
there, in town and country, just for the
pleasure of driving it or riding in it.
You still are subject to the thrill of being

away first at the traffic signal; of sailing
up hill as though it wasn't there at all,
of taking the rough stretches surely and
smoothly without relaxing your pressure
on the throttle.
You still like to swish in and out and
around-when you can-and the quick
footedness of this Eight means all of that;
with brake deceleration the full match
for its remarkable acceleration.
Even if this Eight were not the sleek,
beautiful thing that it is, its magnificent
smoothness and performance would give
you pause, were you to consider some
other type at some other price.
But with its beauty, and with everything
that its perfected straight-eight principle
means in luxury and in distinction, there
remains no alternative-ev everything
