Jacobsen, President MEMBER FEDERAL DEPOSIT INSURANCE CORPORATION The experts go overboard ,!7his time itisi Hudson the only car you step down into!" An auto-wise Detroit editor writes, _ “Hudson ... will still be in a sellers’ market after the buyers’ market returns!” A Cleveland motorcar writer, “The public is in for a thrill!” From a San Francisco auto editor’s column, “Hudson has really hit the jackpot!” And so it goes — right around the nation! Men who have “seen everything” in auto mobiles go for the New Hudson. It is th« only American-built motor car you step down into when entering, not up on! This new development brings you sensa tional advantages — among them, newly streamlined beauty that would otherwise be impractical. This new kind of motor car is only five feet from ground to top, yet by stepping down, you get more head room and roomier scats than in any other mass-produced car built today—and there’s good road clearance, too! Because you step down, Hudson’s new, all steel Monobilt body-and-frame* completely encircles you, even outside the rear wheels, %with a rugged, box-steel foundation frame — and this brings you a new measure of added safety. You ride within this frame — cradled be tween axles —not on top of a frame as in the past. Hudson’s new, lower center of gravity and rugged basic structure give this car delightful roadability— a hug-the-road way of going, especially on curves, that is so safe, so serene, so smooth, it is unlike anything you’ve known before! See the new motor car the experts cheer. The nearest Hudson dealer will show it to you now!
