Performance After All the Final Test Hudson Proves it in Contest and Service Remember Hudson made no tests for the mere victory of individual entries. Even fame as the greatest endurance car was not sought as a principal motive. Such records as the Super-Six estab lished in traveling 18g miles in 24 hours or in twice crossing the continent-7,ooo miles-in ten days, twenty-one hours, were but incidental to the real purpose. Not Victory But Knowledge the Aim It was to prove by such trying tests in the period of a few hours or days the re liability to be expected from normal driv ing in months or years. And it was to profit by that experience, so that constant improvements might be made in motor car design and construc tion. It is well to note in this connection that though a vast improvement has resulted in Hudsons, those first models which es tablished its fame in speedway and hill- climbing contests remain unmatched by any other car. And doesn't that emphasize the fact that those abilities which mean so much in car quality are still exclusive to Hudson? They stand for a triumph of type which even before many refinements had brought it up to the Hudson standard of today, possessed a capacity and endurance that no other car has proved. Now is added the confirming judgment of more than Ioo,ooo Hudson owners, who daily see these qualities expressed in the smooth uninterrupted service of their cars. The true building, taught by Hudson's great tests, accounts for the way it en dures the hardest service, free from me chanical annoyance, and year after year retains the same dependable performance ability and distinction in action that made it the largest selling fine car in the world. And this reliance in Hudson is a tribute to no other car. For its ability is held ex clusive through the patented Super-Six motor that no other can use.
