New Spring Models
Huds
on Coaches
Six Types of Closed Cars
Suitable for Ail-Year-Round Service
HUDSON- closed cars the
Limousine, Town Car, the
Landaus, Sedan and Cab
riolet are being used
more and more in all-year service.
There is a logical reason for this
from the standpoint of both utility
and distinction.
Time was when motorists were
even disdainful of the windshield.
They donned dust coats, veils, gog
gles and braved the distress of dirt
and dust without complaint. But
such discomforts have become
worse and have taken much of the
joy out of touring. When the roads
were not so crowded and we didn't
have to take up so much dust it
wasn't so bad. But now we de
mand more comfort.
The closed car has long been the
popular type in Europe. It is now
the accepted type of Americans
who demand that they shall not
give up their touring and that they
shall ride in comfort.
Such cars are ideal every day of
the year, regardless of the weather.
When it .is hot it is also dusty :
There is protection from the sun
and from the dust. When it is
pleasant the windows can be open
ed so that one is just' as much out
doors as in an open model.
These are the types for use be
tween town and the house in the
country or to the country club.
Rigidly Built for
Heavy Service
These new spring models are de
signed and built for just such
service.
Special attention has been given
to making the bodies light and yet
durable.
It requires unusual skill to build
bodies that will stand up under
such service. As the largest build
ers of closed bodies in the world,
we have learned and eliminated the
faults so difficult for builders of
less experience to orercome.
The tremendous reserve power
of the Hudson Super-Six motor
carries the closed type with the
ease and liveliness of the lighter
open models of less powerful cars.
There is about these cars none of
the sluggishness so common to
most cars of the closed type.

There is Distinction
in such a Car
In a Hudson Super-Six of either
of these types you can ride with
the greatest ease and in such com
fort and luxury as you would enjoy
in your own drawing room.
One is no longer content merely
with conveyances that will take one
from place to place. Comfort and
exclusiveness also are demanded.
The satisfaction of riding in such
ease as compared with the less com
fortable type is just as great in the
summer as is obtained from riding
m such a car in the coldest or most
inclement weather.
The owner of a Hudson Super
bix is always the envied. The own
er of a Hudson Super-Six coach is
the envied of the envied.
In selecting the new car for this
season, give consideration to one of
these closed types. They are the
highest examples of the coach
builder's art. There is nothing
found in the most expensive that is
not equalled in these cars', for Hud
son sets the mode of closed cars.
And there is also the Hudson
Super-Six chassis which has out
performed all other cars.
