H®r» is the story of o new principle of design that has rocked the industry and given Hudson unique beauty not possible in any other type of car. THE recessed floor in the new Hudson —now widely known as the “stepdown" feature—is the talk of the automobile world. And rightly so! This interesting development is the key to a new kind of motor-car beauty never liefora obtainable. People everywhere are attracted by Hudson’s low, streamlined silhouette and free-flowing lines. Only Hudson, because of its exclusive recessed floor that you step down onto, is able to offer streamlined, low-built beauty without asking you to give up interior head room. Let's take a frank look at tlie nwtorcar designer’s problem. Since streamlining an automobile reduces available head room for rear-seat passengers, to achieve a low silhouette and maintain adequate head room, both floor and seats must be lowered Io compensate for the lowered roof. TAe recessed floor it a ntcettity. But it is difficult to lower floors and seats, because in all cars, except Hudson, they are built on top of a frame. Only
