ake a stock Super-Six chassis and,
world its endurance.
ALL RECORDS BROKEN.
He took a Super-Six stock chassi s—certified by A. A. A. officials.
It had already been driven ove r 2,000 miles at speed exceeding 80
miles per hour.
It had made a mile at Daytonla at the rate of 102.53 miles per hour.
And he drove that car 1,819 miles, equal to the distance from New
York to Denver, in 24 hours of continuous driving—at an average speed
of 75.8 miles per hour.
At the end of that test—after n early 4,000 miles of record-breaking
strain—the car, when officially exam ined showed no appreciable wear.
The best previous 24-hour record for an American stock car was
1,196 miles. The Super-Six beat that by 52 per cent.
The best foreign-car record for 24 hours is 1,581 miles. But that wasn’t
a stock car. The Super-Six beat that by 15 per cent.
HOW LONG WILL IT LAST?
It will be many years from now before we can tell you how long a Hud
son Super-Six will last.
But the records we cite cover the greatest strains a motor car ever
met. Many a great engine has gone to pieces under lesser strain. Years
of ordinary driving would never tax a motor like those thousands of
miles of speed tests.
Yet the wear was almost nothin g.
Certain it is that no man has ever built a travel-machine to compare
with this car in endurance.
ENDURANCE PROVED.
That was the last question—this one of endurance. In all other ways
it has long been evident that the Super-Six stands supreme.
Never has a motor of this size shown anywhere near such power.
Never was an engine made to match this in smoothness. Never has a stock
car recorded equal performance in hi II climbing, quick acceleration or
speed.
Handsomer cars have never been shown. Finer engineering is sim
ply unthinkable, with Howard E. Coffin at the head of this department.
You are getting the car of the day when you get the Super-Six. Every
man who knows the facts knows that. And, in view of our patents, rivalry
is impossible.
NO NEED TO WAIT.
It is natural to say, “Let us wait and see,” when we meet such rad
ical advancements. We think that nothing can excel in so many ways
without falling behind in one.
But not one fact about the Super-Six is left unproved today. Not in
one respect has its performance been matched. Not in any way has a
rival motor been made to compare w ith this.
There is no need to wait to get T ime’s verdict on the Super^Six. The
records prove the Supei^Six supreme. A half-hour’s ride without those
records would convince man of the fact.
Thousands of these cars are now running. You will find them in
every locality. And every owner will tell you that he never meets a car
to compare with his, in looks or performance.
These are things to consider Ahen you by a car.
UNRIVALED RECORDS MADE BY THE SUPER-SIX.
All made under A. A. A. supervision, by a certified stocqk car or stock
