- Automobiles - December 5, 1919. Dear Sir —The Hudson Super-Six motor is patented. It is a Hudson invention, used exclusively in Hudsons. By minimizing vibration, it adds 72% to power, without increasin< weight or size of motor- The SuperSix motor accounts for Hudson’s unquestioned supremacy of performance, established in winning all the worthwhile records. And the same principle that won the double transcontinental record, the Speedway championship, and the Pike’s Peak hill climb, gives Hudson Its unrivaled endurance. Hudson’s power and lack of vibration make ft a wonderful car to drive, effortless and smo'oth at speeds where other cars must strain. There are no barriers of distance to the driver of a Hudson Super-Six. He Is always confident of his destination. He Is reliant and self-confident, whether In crowded traffic where alertness and acceleration are wanted, or facing long, fast cross-country tours. The Hudson also leads in mode. In addition to the phaeton, there are seven beautiful enclosed models, on the Super-Six chassis, each of superb distinction in appointments and design. Will you let us show you the new Hudson Super-Six at an early date? We will bring it to your door, whenever you say. Yours very truly, HUGH KIRK. Duplicate order books, Fairbanks scale books, etc., carried in stock in The Democrat’s fancy stationery and office supply department.
