V . For as the direct rtsult of such scru pulous attention to engineering and manufacturing detail, the Hupmobilc owner may expect an addition of at least 25!? to the useful life of his car. That I lupmobile actually delivers this extra value is proved by the number of Hupmobiles driven long after the majority of moderately priced cars are traded in; j ' Hupmobilc today tnaintains the same high standards in building its Six that it has rigidly adhered to in 18 years of quality manufacture. The Six is not merely outstanding in smoothness, in power and in accelera tion, but it is built to retain those char acteristics through the years, ' ''I i h It is a 'new Six in the sense 1' ! the sense that it is a v development of the past two years designed vyithout regard to outworn precedents, and constructed to deliver a new type of more brilliant and last ing performance. ' ' '""..' You will note on the Hupmobile Six advanced features that you would ex pect only on cars of much higher price, such as thermostatic control of the cool- ing system, vibration damper, four- .' wheelbrakes,gasolineBlter,oil Blter.etc. But you will find such features added, not as sales points, but engineered into and part of the thorough-going quality that makes up the value-appeal of this . fine car. 1 A telephone call will bring the Six model you wish to inspect to your door the roomy, family-size Eve-passenger Sedan or the attractive two-passenger Coupe with handy rumble scat for two extra people.
