Regardless of what they are called, how they are painted or what details they offer in the way of novelty or refinement, one important fact remains; and you have to turn to Hudson, the originator of the idea, In order to understand It. Hudson wants it plainly underdtood that it has alw recognized " that there are certain natural limitations to a coach model where 1 than two persons are riding in it, and that it has broken sales records because the people bought the chassis first Sssex holds numerous patents on its chassis, and the certain tures of the Hudson motor that make it unusually quiet.

There are at the show a variety of four-door, los AR, WASHINGTON. models under varlous names, and on a large variety of chassis. In deciding upon one of thesa in preference to a two-door closed car, however, the matter of chassis value is just as im- portant. After all, it's the car and not the body. Velle, however, plays safe by offering you both varieties, Your trip to the show should in- clude close inspection of the all-steel body on the four-cylinder Overland. This Is the beginning of a trend toward safer closed cars. The main feature of the all-steel body is that it minimizes the danger from blind spots by allowing for narrower posts. Mentlon of Overland will serve to remind you that the four-cylinder car is still on the map despite more sixes and elghts. The Overland six, on a 112%-inch wheelbase with a multiple disc clutch, a 3 By 4 L-head power plant, unit power plant, and done in the modish two-tone, molded streamline body effect is a powerful attraction to the buyer who Is limited to $1,000.

The amaz- ing success of the engineering prin- ciples behind the Chrysler car has encouraged the Maxwell Co. to let Walter Chrysler give this popular four the magic touch. The things he has accomplished with it rather change one’s ideas. about a four- cylinder motor being a slave to vibration. The new Gardner smart lines and baHoon tires, is an- other attractive car of this motor type. Even Hupp is going right along with its four as though it had never built a new factory in order to offer an eight.
