Co(Iin to build a wonderful six. But' not even we expected his car to so soon, become such a leader in its field. Other sixes have, been on the market Ioriger. than the "54'; HUDSON, but no other maker is today building so many cars of its type. , The reason for the success of the"54" HUD r QN is the cleverness of its design. No one maker can have an exclusive control - tf careful building, no one can have a monopoly of &ood materials. But by combining the skill and experience of 48 expert engineers the guess and experiment usual in automobiles has been eliminated. In the particulars of engineering skill the "54; HUDSON is distinctive. It combines the improvements that 48 experts working in combination have been able to create it ex presses the experience these men have gained in building more than 200,000 cars of 97 well known makes. In care of workmanship and quality of materials it equals that of . any auto mobile built. J If You are Paying More than $2,000 You Make a Mistake if it is Not a Six V Am.
