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? . 127 T ZARRAGOSSA STREET D. de R M. SCARRITT DEALERS PHONE 2477 BUICK The car you will eventually own. PENSACOLA BUICK CO.
