ame Hudson On Return Trip Across America It Beats Best Previous Time and Establishes World's Endurance Record The same Hudson Super-Six Touring Car which ran from San Francisco to New York in 5 days, 3 hours, and 31 minutes, started back from New York on its arrival there, and again made the trans-continental trip in shorter time than any other car ever made it. Last spring the wonder record for the one-way trip, made by a famous eight was two and a-third days longer than the time required by the Super-Six. No other automobile ever made the round-trip against time. Yet in both the going and return trips the Hudson Super-Six lowered the best previous one-way record. In a little more than 10 days the Super-Six covered 6852 miles. Counting all stops, and slowing down to the speed restrictions of 350 cities, towns, and villages each way, the average time from San Francisco to New York and back to San Francisco was almost 700 miles a day. In the last leg of the return trip, between Elko, Nevada, and San Francisco, heavy* mountain rains were encountered. In the going trip that distance wa3 covered in 20£ hours. On account of the rain and mud, 35 hours were required on the return. Under similar road conditions as were met in the going trip, the return would have been under five days. Hudson Holds Every Worth While Kecord There are no important world's record which refer to a stock car that the Hudson Super-Six 'he best former records are too easy for the Super-Six. The events are too easily won. For instance, in the 24-hour record, 1819 miles, it exceeded the best former record by 52 per cent. And the Super-Six made the best time in the world's greatest hill-climb up Pike's Peak. The best time for 100 miles. The greatest distance covered in one hour and the fastest time for a stock chassis at the rate of 102* miles an hour. Such Endurance is Convincing Here we prove again that the Hudson Super-Six has more endurance than we have ever claimed for it. • What can be more convincing than that round trip across the continent made with a Hudson SuperSix light weight 7-passenger phseton? Previous records were made with roadsters and stripped cars, but the Hudson at all times carried three, and sometimes four, passengers, and with its baggage weighed in excess of 5000 pounds. No Engineer Hopes to Excel It Eemember that the Super-Six is a Hudson invention, controlled by Hudson patents. A hundred cars have motors of like cylinder capacity. Many cars have more cylinders. But in the Super-Six vibration has been reduced to almost nothing. That adds 30 per cent, to efficiency. The Super-Six is not one of the passing sensations. Ours is not one of those claims to motor supremacy which yields in a year or two to another. Mark what these records mean. There is plenty of evidence now to convince you that it cannot be superseded. Save £35 Now For many reasons, now is the time to get a Hudson Super-Six. In the first place you can get delivery now.
