A critical -public has judged the Essex. '
In the year past it set a world's sales
record.
More than $35,000,000 was paid for
22,000 Essex cars now in service.
That shows how men wanted what 1
Essex offered. .
- . - - '
Now Essex proves the accuracy of
motordom's judgment.
' Let the official tests speak:
On the Cincinnati Speedway a stock
chassis Essex made a new world mark of
3037 miles in 50 hours, under observation
of the American Automobile Association.
With other trials the same Essex ran a1
total of 5870 miles in 94 hours, 22 minutes
driving time, averaging over a mile a
minute. , v v
Still another Essex phaeton holds the
world's 24-hour road mark of 1061 miles
made in the face of a blizzard over snow- 4
covered Iowa country roads.
The Essex and Hudson are of course
totally different types.
But note the advantages Essex shares
with Hudson.
Both Have This
Motor Heat Control
For instance, the radiator shutters by
which efficient operating : heat is , main
tained in coldest weather. They mean
everything to satisfactory winter driving.
Closed, they keep the heat in. , ,
No unsightly hood covers are needed.
They give summer efficiency to gasoline. "
They end hard starting. And in warm
weather, opened, they give the maximum
cooling. ; ' , -'
When you know the Essex you will
want one. But you . should place your
order in advance if you would avoid
disappointment in delivery.
The Essex, of course, does not cost as
much as the Hudson,' and though it is
admittedly the runner-up in performance,
it can never be all the Super-Six is. .
In speed - in acceleration - in hill-
climbing in endurance no stock car
ever matched Hudson's famous records.
The Super-Six motorvreduced vibration
mere than any other , type. It checked
the most destructive force automobiles
must contend with. It added 72; to
ower, and almost doubled efficiency.
And it made the Super-Six the largest
selling fine car in the world.
Supreme in Motor
and in Design
But performance is not Hudson's only
title to leadership. From the first it has
r set styles that the motor industry accepts.
. It is a creator of coach design. Not only
America but Europe reveals its influence
in motor sfyle. Models that are now -standard
with all fine cars were first
introduced by the Hudson Super-Six.
Eighty thousand Super-Six owners
place Hudson endurance above" all its
other notable qualities. For; durability
must" always be the most important car
advantage.
The Super-Six motor has proved the
dominant factor in car endurance. None
except Hudson can use it. If you would
own all the supreme advantages of speed, -power,
acceleration, plus endurance, for
which the Super-Six motor accounts, you
must choose Hudson.
Weigh the facts.
What can any fine car give to compen
sate for lack of the Super-Six motor?
