HUDSON COACH Only Hudson "Can Build : It Being the world's largest builders of cylinder cars per mits Hudson to give the greatest price advantage, with the finest quality in Hudson history. Everywhere it is called "The World's Greatest Buy" be cause it is universally acknowledged that no car gives like quality, reliability, performance and fine appear ance within hundreds of dollars of its price. And Hud son economy, which the praise of a vast ownership has made famous, consists not only in the important first cost sayings, but also in the way Hudsons retain their new car qualities and performance in long service with little heed for mechanical attention. - Hu dson-Essex World's Largest Selling 6-Cylinder Cars ! - ; FRED M.

Mr, Carlson recently pur chased a new six and officials of the Radway Motor Co., Oak Park Willys-Knight dealers, tried to get the old Willys-Knight for a salesroom exhibit, but Its owner refused to part with the car, saying- "That old bus just ftaturally won't break down, for it's as sate as the Bank of England." Carlson Intends to keep the Willys-Knight In service until It refuses to func tion any longer. f Ever Bince its introduction to the American motoring public the four-cylinder Willys-Kiiight has established a precedent in value and quality which Is the more re markable because of the excep tional long life of the car. Com pany records and files of dealers disclose an important factor in the success of the Willys-Knight four-cylinder -car, where owners have bought their second, third. and even fourth Willys-Knight be cause of the : unusual service of their original cars, officials de clare. Company records further show that many of the original Willys-Knight fours are rendering complete satisfaction to hundreds of owners after passing far be yond the 100.000 mile mark. NEW BU1GK MODELS ATTUT If JOB Many Improvements Listed in New Master and Stan 1 dard Six Cars Bulck's smashing announce ment of new models brought hun dreds of people Into the show rooms! of Otto J. Wilson during the week of the showing. 1 In spite of persistent rumors to the contrary, the famous valve-In- head six-cylinder motor Is retain ed in both the! Master and Stan dard models. The main motor change la ah enlarged bore an eighth of an inch has been added to each -with consequent In crease In power and speed. This change necessitated additional size and strength to other nnlts which deliver the power-clutch. transmission, drive shaft and rear axle so the 1926 Buicks prop erly can be termed larger i cars. although the wheel ; baso remains the same. i I ,;i i i Among other Important im provements of the 1926 models are: i Air cleaner, oil filter and gaso line strainer. ; which, with the Buick sealed chassis, prevent dirt entering any of the moving parts. New headlights with controlla ble beams, providing more safety In driving. j . - j Improved manifolding and car buretion. ' ; . ., . Two-unit electrical system. Heavier, wheels with larger low pressure tires. Newly designed water pump re quiring but one packing. Special brackets attached to frame to give additional support to bodies, i . T . I; ' Lugs on rear axle to facilitate jacking car. i : ill He got this tire repair NOT HERE !' for .;: ,;v i: our repairs re done i Neatly r Expertly TRY US I i Self-centering rims, which elim inate the possibility of wheels get ting out of true. Open models, except sport cars, have newly patterned permanent tops designed to accommodate win ter lnclosures. The addition of air cleaner, oil filter and gasoline strainer is in harmony with the sealed chassis long featured by Buick. These three units have no moving parts to require adjustment, require no power and are thoroughly auto matic. They only require occas ional cleaning to remove the dirt and grime gathered from the air fuel and oil. ine air cieaner operates cen trifugally on the same principal as a cream separator. An ingenious arrangement In the design gives the air a whirling motion as it en ters. : This throws the heavy par ticles outward. Without the clean er this dirt much of which was abrasive character, would have been drawn Into the engine cylin ders to mix with the oil and form a harsh grinding compound. ! The oil filter has an area of 4ao square Inches of cleansing mesh and cotton fabric. At a speed of 20 miles an hour the entire oil sup ply Is cleaned every five minutes. Should the cleaner become clog ged for any reason, the automatic by-pass continues the free circu lation of oil around the cleaner. So successfully does the oil filter work that an analysis of the oil In 10 test cars after they had oper ated on roads for 1000 miles each, without changing oil, ihowed only 14-100 of 1 per cent of abrasive sediment in the lubricapt. The gas strainer is placed under the vacuum tank and prevents any dirt or water in the gasoline enter ing the carburetor to clog the jets or stop the gas flow. These for eign substances are trapped by a line copper gauge screen. A six-cylinder ralve-in-the-head engine of 75 horse power, a speed of 75 miles an hour and 178 foot pounds engine torque at 1500 rev olutions per minute that de scribes the power plant of the Mas ter Six Better Buick. An increase In power has been made in the en gine of the standard six, j which generates 60 horse power, has a speed of 70 miles an hour and 140 foot pounds engine torque. This power has been developed with no increase in compression and only 8 per cent Increase In the bore. Improved carburetlon and mani folding are partly responsible for the; additional horse power and en gine torque. The carburetor .has been slightly enlarged, and a change in the manifold has result ed in better distribution of gas to the cylinders. These, together with the automatic beat control to the carburetor has resulted In an engine that is In a class by itself for power, efficiency and economy. This considerable increase in en gine power necessitated many oth er changes so that every part of the entire car would be in perfect balance.
