Thousands of buyers waited weeks for their cars. Thousands, after waiting long, turned to other cars. And thousands, when they saw our waiting list, were discouraged in advance. We figure that 15,000 people were forced to take cars which they wanted less. This Springs Outlook All winter long we have kept our factories run- ning under pressure. small stocks ahead. Yet Hudson dealers have only Our production will be only one-fifth more thaw last year. That is our factory limit. Lack of freight cars is holding back shipments. There are frequent complete embargoes. No Hud- son dealer, before the active spring demand, can get any large reserve stock. Even at this writing, with deep snow on the ground, we deliver many cars by road. Today 31 cars start for Columbus, Ohio—191 miles away. The War Situation Many motor car p to be commandeered. lants, in event of war, are likely So with steel plants, which furnish motor car materials. So with battery plants, clectric plants, and This is a contingency analyze, but which others on whom we depend. which none can mnow all of us must consider. - Buying Capacity The general belief is that, whatever comes, this will be a year of farmers are getting their products is n unexampled prosperity. The high prices. The demand for ot likely to lessen. And the evidence is that most lines of industry are going to be taxed to the limit. No previous year has at this season promised so wide a demand for cars. The Hudson’s Place Last year the Hudson, despite our shortage, out- sold any other front-rank car. In fact, it was the largest-selling car with a price above $1,100. This year it will way than ever. The Super Phaeton, 7-passenger Cabriolet, 3-passenger Touring Sedan certainly dominate in a larger Six motor, controlled by our patents, is still used in Hudsons only. It is still supreme. No other motor shows anywhere near .like per- formance or endurance. b Last year the Super-Six won all the worth-while records. In speed, in hill-climbing, in long-distance and endurance it out-performed every rival. In en- durance tests it excelled as high as 52 per cent. And now there are nearly 30,000 Hudson Super- Sixes in use. There are 30,000 enthusiastic owners. Last year at this time there were almost none, for the Super-Six was new. Men Must Have It This year, fine car buyers by the tens of thou- sands will demand the Super-Six. They know its supremacy. Our claims of a year ago have been proven in a hundred recorded tests. Last year, buyers forced to other cars did not know what they missed. This year they do know. Lesser cars will not content them. The demand for the Super-Six this year will be over- whelming. New Hudson Features This year’s Hudsons have a shutter on the front—a wonderful gasoline saver. They have a motormeter, so’the driver can regulate engine heat. They have a primer, which the driver operates from the dashboard. They have plaited upholstery. They have bodies which were first molded in wax, then sculptured to perfection. Then built by famous craftsmen with every dainty touch. And still this car—the greatest car in the world— undersells many rivals. In fact, no other front- rank car sells anywhere near so low. Choose Your Car Now Our advice to all who intend to buy fine cars is to select that car at once. Many of you have already decided on the Hudson Super-Six. More of you will choose it when you know. At this moment, we think, you can get delivery at about any time you say. The precedents show that in a month or two you cannot. We urge this to save disappointment. To avoid the ill-feeling that is caused by delay. The Hudson has lost much good-will in the past year by kecp- ing thousands waiting. We shall not lose yours in that way if you'll act today.
