The Importance Of f517mw1hm

Here Is the story Of a new
principle Of design that has
rocked the industry and given
Hudson unique beauty not pos
sibIe In any other type OF car.
THE recessed floor in the new Hudson
now widely known as the step
down" feature-is the talk Of the auto
mobile world. And rightly so! This inter
esting development is the key to a new
kind of motor-car beauty never before
obtainable.
People everywhere are attracted by
Hudson's low, streamlined silhouette and
free-flowing lines.
Only Hudson, because of its exclusive
recessed floor that you step doton onto,
is able to offer streamlined, Ioto-built
beauty without asking you to give up
interior head room.
Let's take q frank look at the motor
car designers problem. Since streamlin-
ing an automobile reduces available head
room for rear-seat passengers, to achieve
a low Silhouette aud maintain adequate
head room, both floor and seats must be
lowered to compensate for the lowered
roof. The recessed floor Is necessity.
But it is difficult to lower floors and
seats. because in all cars. except Hudson.

At any rate, we are anxious to
see Charles and L~esnevich get to-
gether. It could turn out to be one
of the battles of the century. Les
nevich catapulted up when he
knocked out Billy Fox in the first
round, and Charles has been devas-
tating his opponents much in the
style of Ray Robinson. Charles bat
ties Ray again in Chicago next
month, part of the proceeds to be
donated by Charles $(50OO) to
the family Of Steve Baroudi who
died after Charles knocked him
out several weeks ago.
We did a picture story on Ez
and a bevy of glamorous Cincin-
natl girls last month. He is very
personable and cooperative indi-
vidual. He impressed as an ideal
person for the championship. We
hope that he meets Lesnevich in
June and wins the title.
Oh yes, the Chicago magazine
for whom we ran the story folded
about a week after we took the
pictures.
