on ipodiirr modrL. which haa been
ao popular hre. a world of style haa
beo added to tha appearance of tha
louring car. And It actually look 100
pounds lighter.
Aa a matter of fact, tha walht of tha
111 modl la virtually tht lima aa that
of tha 11T car, Jl4 pound Jut aa un

Another noteworthy featura of tha

Several mechanical ehanicea have
been embodied In tha new chassis,

haa any radical chances been made In
the carburetor or motor. Probably the
most Important chance In the new

Tha new Hudson touring car model

are materially different from those at

"From an engineering- standpoint.
technical progress Is the main motive
and the timea are not propitious for
any radical changes. There are- very
few new models, as tha uncertainty of
tha future In tha wsy of necessary
equipment to make radical changes in
production on a commercial basis has
discouraged experimental work and ex-

On tha other hand, there are the usual
detailed Improvementa on practically
every model on exhibition.
"These Improvements are the results
partly of ooservatloa and advice of
distributors and service stations, partly
of conclusions drawn from the observa
tions of salesman, and partly from the
engineering- department. -

"The outstanding feature at the

not only by prospective buyers, but by
visiting dealers. The air was charg-ed
with expectancy, as if everybody,
realising the part the automobile Is
playing In the life and work of the
Nation, looked easterly forward to the
new models as if they expected still
greater Improvements that would, in
sure added utility, efficiency and
economy.
"Nor were they disappointed. The
