7-Passenger Phaeton. Five Other Body Styles
We Now Present the
Patented by Hudson
December 28, 1915
Patent No. 1165851
76 Horsepower an Added 80 Without Any Added Size
The World9 s Record-Breaker
(All records made by a 7-passenger touring car)
Officially Breaking All Records on Stock Cars up to 100 Miles. Also All
Stock Car Records for Quick Acceleration Under A. A. A. Supervision
100 miles in 80 minute; 21.4 seconds, averaging
74.67 miles per hoar, with driver and passenger.
The previous beit stock car record of 72.49 was made by a car
with more cylinders, more cylinder capacity and driver only.
75.69 miles in one hour with driver and passenger.
' During this trial speed laps were made at 76.75 miles per hour.
70.74 miles in one hour, carrying S passengers, with
top and windshield up.
The previous best record for stock car similarly equipped was
made by a car with more cylinders, more cylinder capacity, and
with only two passengers.
From standing: start to SO miles an hour in 16.2
seconds. This record-making stock car was driven
13S0 miles at speed exceeding 70 miles per hoar
without discoverable wear on any part.
All these Hudson records were made with the same stock car,
using the same motor, at Sheepshead Bay Speedway in No
vember, under supervision of American Automobile Association.
The most powerful motor per cubic inch displace',
ment that the world has ever known.
Mark what those records mean.
No other stock car in history has equalled that per
formance. No other like-size motor has ever devel
oped such power.
The Super-Six has proved itself the greatest en
gine ever built. It has almost doubled the efficiency
of Sixes. It has outrivaled Eights and Twelves,
and ended every reason for those extra cylinders.
It has brought to the Hudson unquestioned suprem
acy. All must now concede it the sovereign car.
For this marvel motor is a Hudson patent, found in
Hudson cars alone.
80 PER CENT MORE POWER
The Super-Six is not a mere refinement. It em
bodies a basic invention. And it so excels all pre
vious creations that it makes of this an epoch
making car.
The best former Sixes in this size developed at
maximum 42 horsepower. The Super-Six develops
76 horsepower. That means an increase of 80
per cent. -
In high motor speed capacity, the Super-Six ex
cels the best former Sixes by 50 per cent
Note those immense advances in the features most
desired." Then note we attain them without adding
size. The" Super-Six, in cylinder size, is identical
with the Hudson Six-40. We- do not forfeit light
ness or economy. And we do not add more cylin
ders, with their extra complications.
ABSOLUTE SMOOTHNESS "
All this is accomplished through ending vibration,
a motor's major foe. We have built a motor so
quiet, so free from vibration, that it can revolve
at marvelous speed. And at highest speed a pencil
stood on end on the engine doesn't topple over.
Thus we attain with a small motor 76 horsepower
a power that was never reached before, save with
motors big and heavy.
We have attained the pinnacle at which engi
neers have aimed. It was to save vibration that
they built the Six. Then, to save more, they built
the Light Six with small bore. - The next step was
V-type Eights and Twelves-designcd to still further
reduce the vibration. . ''
Now all those types, in this chief respect, have :
been far outrivaled by the Super-Six.
All that was sought for in Eights and Twelves
lack of vibration, smoothly-flowing power is far
better attained in the Super-Six. The result is vast
saving in tires, in engine wear and fuel. . . ; ,
HOW 76 HORSEPOWER
"But how," you ask, "do you get this 76 horse
power, and what does it mean?"
It means vast reserve power for hard roads and
for hills. It means ability to creep oh high gear, to
pick up with record quickness, to avoid changing
gears. '
That extra power comes through lack of vibration.
That means a .long-lived motor. It means bird-like
motion at any speed. The Super-Six is so quiet that
the car seems to move by magic. It means economy
of fuel.
And that extra power that, added 80 per cent
comes without adding cylinders or size. You don't
want a motor about half as efficient when a same
size motor performs like the Super-Six.
Vibration is lost effort, which means inefficiency.
By wiping it out we have gained super-efficiency.
HUDSON NOW SUPREME
This patented motor gives to Hudson the top in
Motordom. No man who knows can dispute it.
With so great a difference, it is bound to supersede
the best other types in existence.
That is why we stopped production on the former
Hudson at the zenith of our success. That car the
Six-40 had won a new empire for us. It had quad
rupled our sales in two years. But we quit it when
the Super-Six, proved nearly twice better. And we
lost about 5000 sales as a consequence.
Then we doubled our factory at a cost of $1,500,
000. Then we bought materials for $42,000,000
worth of these new cars this season. For all the de
mand for the Super-Six must be supplied by Hudson.
Any fine car buyer who knows the facts is bound
to choose the Super-Six. No other car at any price
rl. can match it in performance. And the best Six
..built in former types is hardly one-half so efficient.
, .The facts will also win thousands from lower
priced cars to the Hudson. The difference in value so
far exceeds the difference in price that any man can
see it. And the saving in fuel, in tires and in wear on
the motor, will wipe out the extra cost.
Consider the excessive strains of that Speedway test.
A motor which stood them is impervious to ordinary
service strains, and capable of any requirement,
MOST LUXURIOUS CARS
With the new Hudson bodies, this car looks its
supremacy. In every detail, regardless of the cost,
we've attained luxury's limit
All that we save by a doubled production has gone
into these new bodies. Entirely new lines are adopted.
The room is increased. A rare grade of grain leather
is used in the upholstery. The finish is superb.
An extra cowl, rounded and finished, is built in front
of the tonneau. The windshield is slanted.
You will find in these cars all the beauty and lux
ury that extravagance could buy. Down to the small
est details there is no way to excel them. Our price
for such luxury is due to the fact that we have the
largest fine car output in the world.
Thus we announce to you the premier achieve
ment in all the history of motor car building. And
the most interesting car of the year. Come and see it
