HUDSON SUPER-SIX HOLDS EVERY WORTH WHILE RECORD There are no important world's records which refer to a stock car that the Hudson Super-Six hasn't won. The best former records are too easy for the Super-Six. The events are too easily won. For instance, in the 24-hour record, 1819 miles, it ( exceeded the best former record by 52. And the Super-Six made the best time in the world's greatest hill-climb up dike's Peak. The best time for 100 miles. The greatest distance covered in one hour and ffie fastest time for a stock chassis at the rate 102'& miles an hour. Here we prove again that the Hudson Super-Six has more endurance than we have ever claimed for it. What can be more convincing than that round trip across the continent made with a Hudson Super-Six light weight 7-passenger Phaeton? previous records were made with roadsters and stripped cars, but the Hudson at all times carried three, and sometimes four passengers, and with its bnggage weighed in excess of 5,000 pounds. Remember that the Super-Six is a Hudson in vention controlled by Hudson patents. A hundn-d cars have motors of like cylinder capacity. Many cars have more cylinders. But in the Super-Six vibration has been reduced to almost nothing. That adds 80',i to efficiency. ,Cars here for Immediate delivery. Ask for demonstration. Oregon Motor Garage Incorporated. 117. II.
