in rffpto'ijflsto-tu a QialLetig fi er> HERE at last is a radically new type Straight Eight at Hudson’s wellknown prices; essentially different from conventional “ Straight Eights” and with finger-tip steering so that a woman can drive it with consummate ease. A car in which the driving sensation is like coasting, and with such brilliance in behaviour as to give complete command of any driving situation. So easy in gear shift that you are into “top” in the time it previously took to get away in low gear. Easter than you would ever care to drive, yet strikingly economical. Sponsoring an entirely new vogue in bodywork and with colour motifs smart and absolutely exclusive. Unlike any other car to look at and with new types of advanced coachwork, such as the Great 8 Sunsedan, a convertible 5-passenger car in which the top and upper; structure may be folded away to give the sunny freedom of an open phaeton. * I 119 in.
