Tests That Proved Hudson
Also Speak for Essex

Both Hold Performance Records
That Have Never Been Equaled

In all Hudson's unmatched records this
important fact is clear: No ability is sac-
rificed in one direction to gain supremacy
in another.
Hudson is the fleetest. Its stock car
speed records have never been equalled.
On the speedway its racing cars won more
points than any other team ever gained.
But its speed means no forfeit of other
qualities. For in official tests, the Super-
Six has also out-performed all other types,
in endurance, hill-climbing and accelera-
tion. In every motor performance it has
established leadership by unanswerable
proofs.

Hudson Records Prove
Its All-Round Mastery

Only a supreme advantage that others
cannot use, could account for such all-
round dominance. Hudson has it in the
Super-Six motor. It minimizes vibration
to within 10% of vanishing—nearer the
ideal than any type we know.
In the same size motor the exclusive
Super-Six principle added 72% to power
and 80% to efficiency. Endurance is
practically doubled.
How these qualities are valued by mo-
torists is reflected in Hudson's five years
of leadership of fine car sales. Today the
demand is larger than ever.

how he had assisted at a ritual nitirder

Essex shows the same stamp of quality
as Hudson. Its beauty of line, its luxury
of appointment are the work of years of
leadership in coach design.
See the care and completeness, even in
the smallest details. Its riding comfort,
its smooth, quiet running ease, with the
suggestion of well-contained reserve pow-
er, are qualities comparable to the finest
of high-priced cars.
