HUDSON

This Favorite Super-Six Improved in All Ways

The attractions of a more beautiful and comfortable body, with the greatest Super-Six chassis ever built are combined in the new Hudson Coach,

Also unmatched price advantage. At $1300 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 car 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?

REVERSING A CAR.

CHRONICALLY MOTORIST.

BAD

The job of, reversing a car in oramped surroundings will hayo; to bo safeguarded increasingly as the number of permanently in- export drivers grows and the vogue of the closed body swolls, writes "Runabout" in the Autocar. During the last fow months I havo inspected a яur- prising number of small cars damaged by clumsy reversing. generally performed in 'the dark, though sometimes in daylight.

The roads now contain quan- lities of oldorly navicos who will nevor become really good drivers. Many of thom habitually keep their all-weather tops up, and frequent gardons and other places, which were novar designed for cars, and make oven a claver driver prick his ears, on a dark) night. By daylight the stern window is often absurdly small.. Aftor dark, if the tail lamp has ja side panol, the, panol and the candle-power are alike exiguous. A huge atorn window and a spot) lamp are obvious helps.

But I am so impressed by the number of potty bumps which have come under my notice lato- ly that I wonder if such provis lons are adequate. The results] vary from the merely annoying| to the extremely expensive. Tha minimum and the commonest is a concertina'd tail lamp, possibly ontailing subsequent friction with the police on a probably inovit- Jablo roturn journoy. But in quite a number of cases the roar dumb irons get stabbed cookeyo,; or tho roar panel of the body sustains excessive damage, as this type of drivor is vory liable to lose his or her hood. I am begin ning to wonder whether störn bumpor bars are not practical, necessition for some of our now Jowner-drivers, and for others-in
