HUDSON "Six"
WW
Why a Six?
Every automobile buyer should ask
that question if he is paying more than
$2,000.
The Six is as flexible as a steam en
gine. It rides with the smoothness of flying.
It is motor luxury supreme no vibration,
no jerking, quiet and comfortable, that
more than doubles the distance you can
travel in a day without fatigue qualities
you immediately recognize in a Six.
And Why a "54" HUDSON
Motorists who know see in it the qualities which
only Howard E. Coffin and his associates 48 all told
were able to build into it.
They have not produced a Six by merely adding two
Slinders to a good Four. A good Six can't be built
at way.
These 48specialists, experienced in all the details of
motor car building, trained in 97European andAmerican
factories, started out to build a Six without being ham
pered by old manufacturing equipment and old ideals.
They had a new conception, the result of a combined
wider knowledge than was perhaps ever before centered
upon the designing of a motor car.
Laymen will have their ideas as to how automobiles
should be built but think you any one less experienced
than these experts could build better?
You naturally have more confidence in the diagnosis
el ajskilled physician than you would in the conjectures
of a hundred laymen. Put equal reliance in these 48
motor experts.
Their reputation is staked on the "54" HUDSON.
That is a sufficient guarantee for most buyers.
But there also are HUDSON Sixes in every section.
They aire doing the most abusive service that any
automobile regardless of cost ever did. And they are
standing up.
HUDSONS don't disappoint.
The "54" HUDSON has electric lights. It is
electrically self-cranked. The famous Delco system,
patented, is used. Every motor car luxury is included,
speedometer, clock, top, curtains, rain-vision wind
shield, demountable rims, twelve-inch upholstery, etc
Equipped with a five-passenger Phaeton body, at $2450.
At $1875 you can obtain the HUDSON "37" de
signed by the same engineers that built the "54"
and pointed to as the ''Four-cylinder masterpiece."

Your Chalmers Is Worth $ lOOO More
but Costs Only $300 to $500 More
When you ordor a suit of clothos
you don't Boloot tlio cheapest. Price
is not your solo standard but qual
ity, looks, stylo, wearability. For
thoso you nro glad to pay a littlo
highor prico.
When you buy or build a houso tho
cost is not tho only thing considerod.
You, want it woll built, attractive
comfortable, pormauent. And you
are willing to pay a fair prico for what
you want even though you know
cheaper houses can bo bought.
Tho same thing is truo or should
bo in buying a motor car.
Do not decide tho car quostion on
prico but consider carefully what
you get for that price. Chalmors
car will cost you $300 to $500 more
than some othor cars, but it is worth
to you at least $1000 more.
It is worth that much more bocauso
of tho extra value it gh'os.
Extra value in dependable service.
Chalmors cars built in Chalmors shops
last longer than most cars. Eleven
Chalmers oars havo been driven 1,020,
400 milos. Thousands of othors, somo
in thoir 4th or 5th year, havo been
driven 50,000 to 75,000 and aro still
giving satisfaction.
Extra value in comfort. Nowadays
pcoplo ask more of a car than merely
to run. Chalmors cars, with big,
roomy bodies, Turkish cushions, 11
inch upholstory, long flexible springs,
big wheels and tires givo you perfect
riding comfort.
Extra voluo in looks. Chalmers
cars aro beautiful' oars. Cars you can
bo proud of ,iu any company. $4000
and $5000 cars havo no hotter linos or
more perfect finish.
Extra value in satisfaction. It's
poor economy to "save" a few
hundred dollars on a motor cur which
you won't take pernnuiont satisfac
tion in driving. Many havo tried it.
