TIE EVENING NOVEMBER 18, 1931, STAR, WASHINGTON,, D. C, Will you wish you had “looked at a HUDSON” later on? HIS advertisement is as nearly in the public service as it is possible for a commercial message to be. It does not urge nor even ask you to buy a Hudson or an Essex car; it suggests merely that you examine them carefully if you are in the market. Hudson and Essex high-speed engines are the highest compression power units in use today, operating on standard fuels. The eight-cylinder Hudson “‘Greater Eight’’ develops 87 horse- power at 3600 r.p.m.; the Essex “Supet Six,"” 60 borlepowern 3300 r.p.m. efficient is Hudson and Essexengine de- sign, owners may use ordinary gasoline without ennoyance from engine knock The premise under that sug- gestion is that Hudson and Essex cars, this year as in for- mer years, embody engineer- ing and structural advantages not found in other cars in com- parable price range. If this is true, and these ad- vantages appeal to you, your examination may possibly save you the chagrin and disappointment later on of wishing you had “looked at a Hudson.” HUPSDN PRICES LIST FROM $875 10, $1450 £.0.8.DETROIT STATE DEALERS Selesroom So look at a Hudson or an Essex before you decide what car to buy, and when you look at it, look beneath the superficial body contour and the glittering paint.

Hudson controls the pat- ents on splayed springs, under which the rear springs of both Hudson and Essex cars are set at an angle with the frame, preventing side- sway and greatly ‘ncreas- ingcomfort. The springs themselves, like the frame and the whole un- derstructure of the car, are heavy-duty built, greatly oversize in com parison with other cars in comparable price range proof steel body—vital things like these.

The famous Hudson compensated inherently balanced crankshaft is the most accurately balanced crankshaft in use today—so satin- smooth and vibrationless in action that it eliminates the need for cushioning vibration as needed in the case of many other cars able honor roll of contributions to the present-day automobile building art. There is no point in talking here of “performance, comfort, economy and value” — the vitality -of 'these words is voided by over-use. But just drive the cars yourself; give them a real workout and not just an asphalt promenade— then you’ll have a real basis for comparison. Then you'll see why the wisest minds in the Selective Free Wheeling 2 e ant Bues automobile drivers can ‘‘select’’ to free wheel or not,accord- ing to the road. On ths straightaway and rolling highways you can enjoy the floatingspeed and gas- economy of free wheel- ing. Descending steep grades where you need the engine’s extra brak- ing power, a convenient control near the clutch lever throws the motor into conventional gear— instantly—without clash- ing.
