Amazing

BY WILLIAM J. McANEENY
Pre&idaat Hudson Motor Cor Company
We have built these models up to and beyond the 1931
standards of performance arid quality in every way, and
have never in our history offered so many improvements.
Quality is greater down to the last detail. Every phase of
performance has been greatly improved, and the luxury we
have built into the cars is substantially greater than ever
before. Motors are larger and more powerful. An efficient
6ystem of oil cooling is introduced. A marked improvement
in carburetion increases flexibility and economy. Bodies are
longer and wider. These cars possess the finest, easiest riding
qualities. For the first time, such comfort is available at
these low prices. Only great manufacturing economics and
the fact that our large resources permit us to take the fullest
possible advantage of reduced commodity prices have en
abled us to offer the public the greatest combination of qual
ity and low prices in our entire history.
