base, is further development of Hud-
sons high power-t0-weight engineer
ing practice and is said by engineers
to attain standards of performance
and economy new in the industry
Companion car to this new Eight will
be the new Hudson Super-Six which
Will be Identical in all features except
power plant.
Aristocrats of the line are the new
Country Club Six and Eight cylinder
Sedans in which interior luxurious
ness new to production manufacture
is Introduced. In these models Hud-
son stylists have achieved new lux
ury by the use of massive deep-form-
ed seats and an entirely new uphol-
stery material specially selected and
woven for. Hudson by the Hockahum
Woolen Mills, makers of fine custom
! fabrics. African seat cushions, in
trOduced to the industry last year
by Hudson, have been re-designed
for greater comfort and smarter tall
Oring.
For the first time in the lowest
price field independent front wheel
suspension with Center Point Steer
ing is introduced This is further inn
proved by the incorporation of Hud-
sons recently patented Auto-Poise
Control which. according to Hudson
Engineers. is an important basic con-
tribution to the principles of inde-
pendent suspension This develop
ment will be found throughout the
entire 1910 line.
The combination of this new sus-
pension with the principles of Auto
POise Control plus new longer rear
springing and further refinement in
African cushiOning represents. en-
gineers assert, the aggregate of mod
ern development in riding and seat
ing comfort and rOadability.
New safety developments continue
in the 1910 models. Hudson's patent
cd DOuble-Safe hydraulic brakes
have been further improved by re-
design of the mechanical reserve
brake linkage. Added for 1910 are
new directiOnal safety signals, in
creased front and rear vision, new
heavier ArmOred Xtype frame for
the new suspension. and a further
improved design of Hudson's Dash /
Locking Safety Hood which hinges
at the front to prevent being blown

dash to prevent theft of car or en-
gine parts.
All the new Hudsons have been |
re-styled and the new |
front-end design has
been maintained throughout the en- |
tire line. Longer. lower lines char /
acterize all models and are offered |
with or without running boards as
the buyers prefers.
The low, wide horizontal treat !
ment of the front grilles and the
clean contour of the hoOdlines en-
hances the smooth flow of body de-
sign and imparts a sense of motion
and fleetness. The entire hood is of
graceful frontal appearance
by seams or openings.
This new bonnet extends over to
he tenders and includes the cat
walks, providing unusual accessible
ty to the motor.
FIont grilles on all models are
iie-cast and extend the entire width
