ing. An automatic printing device as
sures engine operation in any tenn
perature. On the vacuum tank is an
exclusive booster" attachment
which assures an adequate and even
supply of fuel to the motor.
"CuShiOned" Power
Vibration in both cars is greatly
minimized through elaboration of
the patented Super-SiX principle. A
cushioned" flow of power in Hud- !
son lines is obtained through a Lam
dampener and clutch !
which uses a series of small spiral |
springs. An uninterrupted oil film |
over the entire surface of crankshaft
and connecting rod bearings is OBJ
tanned through a newly adopted |
bearing design for both.
In addition to vital engine chang
es, 140 improvements in both lines
include a multitude of refnements,
one of which being an electrically
controlled oil and gasoline indicator
gauge on the instrument panel. The
body developments are thorOugh-go-
ng from sound-cushioning insula-
lion to distinctive hardware finished
IN chased silver, the motif being the
pine cone in standard Hudson and
Essex models and wild rose in spe-
,ial Hudsons. Upholstery in all mod
lis is of the finest quality-broad-
,loath and mohair in the HudsOns,
nohair and velour in the ESSEX, cars.
A special, exclusive and patented
imperviOus to water, is
lsed for lining the four wheel
Drakes. Brake action is exceptionally
positive but without grabbing. Hy- /
lraulic shock absorbers are on all
models of both lines.
The Hudson hood is made higher
nd wider, the radiator shell, lamps,
owl lamp band and other bright
york are chromium plated. Radia
Or shutters are standard on all mod
Is of the Hudson and Essex lines.
he Essex Challenger radiator has
cen heightened, widened and leng-
lened, and the radiator and hood
re slightly peaked. Radiator caps
re snug setting and facted in semi
design-to match the hub
APPS.
The wheels are sturdy ten spoked
ood with a bold assurance of un-
sual strength. Right fender wells :
re standard, and on the Greater -
udson, all visible chassis parts are
in the dominant body col
:. In all bodies the construction
lows advantageous use of stream
ne mouldings that sweep back from

lch body style has been freely car
ed out by the designers.
Hudson windshields are of non
lattering glass. Control pedals on
l cars have been widened. Steering
heels are adjustable to height and
e seats can be moved forward or
