January 24, 1920. Dear Sir: After covering 160,000 miles during the past four years, a Hudson Super-Six was sold recently in San Diego, Calif., for only S4OO less than it cost when new. This car had seen the hardest kind of usage over mountain roads in the stage business. Its usual trip was 125 miles a day carrying eight persons and 300 pounds of baggage. Often this journey was made - 'twice in the same day. “I drove this car 60,’000 miles before taking up the bearings or grinding the valves,” says Ja/mes Adrian, its former owner. “At 120,000 miles I put in new wrist pins, oversize [pistons and a new high gear, but the rear end was never touched.” The wonderful record made by this car is nothing unusual for a Hudson as more than 80,000 owners will testify. , It does, however, that the same supreme endurance which has enabled to capture more worth while records than have ever been held by any other stock car, is to be found in every Super-Six built. This superlot endurance is the result of an exclusive and patented principle of motor construction which can be obtained only to the Super-Six. By ininimizing destructive vibration, this principle has not only increased the power of the

motor 72 per cent, but it has also resulted in longer life and lower depreciation. Yours very truly, HUGH KIRK.
