Today's Prices are Based on Last Year's Material Costs. Present Markets
Have Already Forced 51 Makers to Add $100 to $700 to Their Prices
Former $1200 and $1400 cars now cost about as
much as a Hudson Super-Six.
No changes warrant such an increase. They
are practically the same as the cars which recently
sold at $200 to $300 less than the Hudson Super
Six. Cars in the $2000 class and up have increased
from $250 to $700. That removes them further
from the Hudson Super-Six price.
Increased cost of material is responsible for the
higher prices.
Hudson prices have not increased this year. Our
materials were contracted for months ago. When
present supplies are exhausted then Hudsons, too.
must cost more. Until then Hudson, because of
its value, is the lowest priced car on the market.
Here is an indication of how prices have been
affected. Consider just one item.
The principal material in a fine automobile is
steel. All steel is made from iron.
For 25 years before the Great War the average
price of iron was a few cents over $16 a ton. In
December last it was $30 a ton. It now is $54 a
ton.
Makers who bought materials this year must
get more for their cars than for those built of ma
terials bought last year.
GOOD FORTUNE FOR
HUDSON BUYERS
Even when other cars sold at $200 to $300 less.
uper-Six sales exceeded those of any two makes
in the $1200 to $1400 class. Now that there is no
such difference in price can you realize how much
greater will be the demand for Hudsons. The
present supply won't last long. Then Hudson, too,
must cost more.
There can be no preference now that former
cheaper cars cost as much as the Super-Six.
Super-Six endurance makes it the preferred
among fine cars. In every revealing test it has
proved endurance unequalled by any other car.
ALL DUE TO THE
SUPER-SIX MOTOR
Hudson leadership is due to the Super-Six mo
tor. No other motor is like it. It minimizes vibra
tion. That increases power and lengthens motor
life. Vibration is the most destructive force in a
motor. All Hudson tests show how by minimiz
ing vibration endurance is obtained. The Super
Six is the most powerful automobile motor of its
size known.
No owner has yet discovered the real limits of
Super-Six endurance and almost 40,000 Super
Sixes are now in daily service.
Endurance is the most wanted quality of a: mo
tor car. A car should not wear out soon. It
should not require frequent mechanical attention.
That Hudson has proved.
YOU NEED NO GREATER
PROOF FOR HUDSON
A double transcontinental run with a seven
passenger phateton broke every previous record
each way. Pike's Peak, up the highest and longest
mountain road in the world, was climbed by a
Super-Six special in less time than any other car.
Twenty-two of the world's fastest special cars
contested. A stock chassis established the record
for the fastest mile. A stock Super-Six phaeton
made the fastest time for one hour. Carrying
driver and one passenger, car fully equipped, it
traveled 100 miles at an average of 74.67 miles
per hour.
A stock chassis made the greatest 24-hour long
distance run on record. It covered 1819 miles in
that time and at the stop showed nothing to indi
cate that its endurance had been reached.
But these tests, greater than any other car ever
made, were not enough to reveal the limits of
Hudson endurance. Then special raring cars
were built that they might compete on the speed
way with the world's fastest, most carefully built
automobiles. The same principle that accounts
for Hudson endurance in the stock cars is included
in these.
The American Speedway record for 200 miles
was established by one of them at an average
speed of 104 miles an hour.
That speed for that distance calls for endur
ance beyond that which ordinarily is needed in a
lifetime's requirements. These are proofs of Hud
son endurance. They indicate the service you may
expect from a Hudson Super-Six. If such tests
mean nothing to you because of their extremes,
then think what the service to almost 40,000
users means. There can be no greater assurance
than that.
There is no advantage now in buying another
car. not even the apparent saving in the first cost
price.
Rut the number of Super-Sixes that can be built
from last year's material purchases is limited. If
you are to get your car at the present price it must
be from that number. You must decide soon.
