New ESSEX
Priced '170 lower, the New Essex Coach
provides a larger, handsomer body, with
even greater passenger comfort than the
former Coach. Ana its 6-cylinder motor,
built on Hudson patents give smoothness
and performance distinction, heretofore
exclusive to the Super-Six.
Qualities of Both Hudson and Essex
Its abilities are as exclusive in this field
as Hudson's. Think of what that advan
tage means. And it has in full those,
hidden values that keep Hudson and
Essex cars like new, after thousands of (
miles and years of service.
Everyone Calls It" Ideal Transportation"
Simple to keep in first class condition.
Requires little attention. Lubrication for
the most part is done with an oil can.!
Mileageon fuel, oiland tires isexceptional.
No car we ever announced has met with
such a reception. You 'must be impressed '
as everyone has. You, too, will say! "the
New Essex provides ideal transportation". .
