! HUDSON G0. AGAIN - SCORES WITH COACH Designers Still Leading Field: With New Ideas In developing the coach type of body and seeing it through to gen. vraladoption by the industry, the Hudson Motor Car Co, has scored tho third similar success of its his- tory, aceording to M. D, Honeyman, Iudson: sex distributor, M. D. Honeyman declared that Hudson had bullt and named the first sedan the motor world ever knew, the first speedster touring car, and now the cuceess of all, the coach, bulit the first coach in 1921, “When we see thousands of sedans on the streets today, sald M. D, Iloneyman, it s difficult to believe that the first one ever built was constructed 12 rs ago by the Hudson Motor Car Co. Then as now, the Hudson management was greatly Interested in enclosed cars at a moderate price, “Up to that time, it w that only the very wealthy would buy enclosed ca They were il to be chauffeur driven. The liudson management believed that closed cars could be built with a single compartment, and that the owner would be glad to drive it himself, That belief was the basis for the Hudson sedan It had a lat of opposition at first and it was a considerable period before sedans bucame general, “Hudson's second great success in hodies Was the four-passenger sports type of touring car. The first of these—the Hudson speedster—was introduced in 1916 along , with the first super-six type of motor. Low and graceful, with sweeping stream- lines, this car caught the public's eve instantly. 1t was the first of literally cores of similar models. But the greatest of all was the development of the coach. Rehind % was a truly fundamental 1dea— type of greatest Hudson November, s thought the {dea of an enclosed ca® at an| open car price. To develop that idea, Hudson had to overturn the industry's whole habits of closed car construction lying to them for the firts time all the economies known to simplified manufacture, “For three years, Hudson-Essex had this market to itseif, while makers of opén cars vainly resoried to one device after another to stimu- late sal But the public wanted ciosed cars at open car prices—and now the industry has stempeded to coaches, But for a long time to come the man who thinks of coachey will think of Hudson- MOTORDOM FACED (uestion of Hour Two outstanding problems eon front motordom today. They eon cern- 1. Traffie 2. The motor bus Auto improvements, fuel supply, costs used cars, all are practically lost within the shadow of these two sticklers. Important as they are in themselves, they do not approach significance that place on the traffic and motor bus questions. Every city in the country, hardly an exception, iy -tr make driving and walking safer. Every state and municipality has the passenger-carrying problem to tackle, So important are thess fhatters that a national conference has been going on at Washington, under the direction of Secretary of Com- merce Hoover, in an aftempt to alleviate them. Street railways, railroads, taxi- cah companies, transportation com- panies of all kinds are trying to find a way out of a difficulty that, ina way, makes both the traffic and Vie motor hus situations ons com- bined puzzle. Many Angles The traffic tangle presents itself in numerous w Narrow streets, poorly designed citles, lack of sys- tem, old-fashioned traffic laws, bad roads, are only'a few of the sub- jects that come under this head, It has brought together safety, busi- ness and social organizations in an effort to sagve it. Tests have been conducted with all sorts of devices, new systems and any other ideas that seem prac- ticable, Laws have been passed first to slow down traffic in congested districts, then to speed it up every. where, 0 as high a rate as safety will permit. All in an effort to dissoive eon- gestion, especially in downtown dis- tricts, Tdeas for subways and overhead roads have been formulated. Streets have been widened at enormous cost to cities, Traffic towers have been put up, more and wider streets created, and ‘boulevard stop laws passed. Yet the traic accldents go on and engineers continue to search for the ideal system. Relief by Bus The motor bus is coming in faster | than ever, in an efort to heip solve this difficulty, rather than compete with the street railways, interur- bans and steam roads. In fact, it is contended, the motor bus is not be. | ing introduced to replace the street car, It is intended as a supplemen- tary means of transportgtion. For the relief of traflic conges- tion, the motor- bus heips in bring- ing down town men and women | the authorities | passengers, Others have even gone #0 far ag to abandon short runs in favor of the mbtor bus. These are only starters In what is expected to become one of the greatest trans, portation systems in the country. More Intense use of motor busscs In cities may, in the end, show mo- torists a cheaper, safer and loss troublesome way to get.down town In faster time and with better con. venlences than by strect car.
