Alsó unmatched price, advantage. Ar $1,300 | it costs but little more than open models. Yet it provides the wanted comforts, distinction and all-season utility of a fine closed car.
Motordom concedes that no cur excels Hudson in performance reliability and long life at low maintenance.
Now, to those famous qualities are added refinements that assure prompt starting in coldest weather, as well as greatly increased gasoline and oil economy.
Is it any wonder that the new coach has met a reception surpassing any Hudson ever built ?
