You've seen them flashing by in all their sparkling color those trim, gorgi-ous New lliylsons with the low, streamlined silhouette. But have you really examined one of these amazing cars? They are the big newt in the automobile world today! Hudson, always known for great forwnrd steps in the development of the auto mobile, and for efficient use of motive power, is again 'way out ahead with a motorcar that hits a new high in efficient uje of tpaee that makes a greater per centage of ifa total pace actually avail able for pour use and comfort. When you take a close look, you'll find that Hudson, through the use of a new, exclusive "step-down" zone, reclaims so much usually wasted space that this sensationally efficient tar gives you more useful interior room than you've ever before experienced in an automobile. This new kind of motor car has a sturdy foundation structure surrounding the 'passenger compartment, which permits the floor to be recessed down within the base frame so that you step doiro when entering. This makes space between frame members, which is usually wasted, available for use inside the car. Seats can thus be lowered to harmonize with the new, lower top, anil by stepping down into Hudson, which is only five feet from ground to top, you get more head room than in any other mass produced car built today! And howobut seating room? Hudson's new design reclaims space formerly taken up by wheel housings and protruding fenders. This is accomplished by placing rear scats ahead of the rear wheels, in a lone unrestricted by wheel housings. As a result, rear seats arc 15 inches wider in this car that is only little more than four inches wider over-all. Both rear and front seats extend the full width of the body, giving Hudson the roomicH seats in any American-made car! Hudson's use of the "step-down" zone and unique seating arranRemenU are illustrated in the sketches that follow: ,'H" CASS-I Wnrn rid on lop of Mime. .i i l ."" ,h i Ix-lm-im rrar wheel h,,.i.n,CT. !.. h HVii.y , lht ,ml,d purl of leiiuiw r,,m.

Duo u the urt of the "step-down" vme, roof la lowered for alxeamlioing', yet ample bead room is provided. The New Hudson even reclaims the un used space in doors by providing gor geously tailored, recessed compartments where interior door handles, window . cranks, ash receivers, and generous arm rests are placed out of the way to allow increased elhow room for passengers. This development of Hudson's exclusive, all steel Monobilt body-and-frame with its "step-down" zone required years of eiifiinefring work, the perfection of new production techniques and millions of dollars in highly socialized new plnnt investment. This may be why Hudsou, and Hudson alone, oilers this important advance today! "Stepping down" is so important to motor-car beauty, riding qualities and safcty-os well as roominess and comfort -that the nearest Hudson dealer has a booklet-yours without obligation-fully explaining this design principle.
