Your Last Chance to Get
A HUDSON this Year
YOU must act quickly if you want a Hudson. More than a hundred Hudson dealers have orders in hand for all cars we can possibly deliver within the time specified.
SOME have oversold their allotments and are buying cars at a premium from other Hudson dealers, so they can protect their extra orders. At the factory we now average more new orders every day than our facilities can accommodate.
SO you can see this is not soliciting your purchase of a Hudson, so much as it is a warning that you should decide at once, if you are to get the one advanced car of the year.
BECAUSE of this demand for Hudson cars many intending purchasers will be forced to wait until late summer before they can get deliveries.
BUT in some localities it is still possible to find an unsold Hudson. A few dealers foresaw the great demand for the Hudson and early placed orders for a large number of cars. If you reside in a section where we are represented by such a dealer, then you are fortunate. In no other way is there any likelihood of your being able to get a Hudson this season. By just examining this one advanced car, even though you will be unable to get delivery, you can at least determine what automobile is next best for you to have.
We knew when Howard E. Coffin had finished the first HUDSON "33" that it would be a great success. So we built one of the most modern automobile plants in the world, covering practically six acres of floor space--especially to take care of the demand we were sure it would receive.
Because of the tremendous success of his four previous cars of different makes, dealers unhesitatingly placed orders for more than 10,000 cars--all our year's product.
We knew those orders were only tentative and meant nothing unless the HUDSON "33" fulfilled our every promise and made good every expectation of these shrewd buyers. But we also knew the car for it had been thoroughly tested under the most grueling conditions and on every sort of road before the trade knew that there was to be a new HUDSON model.
We perfected an organization to produce this car. We engaged engineers and mechanics, trained in the finest kind of machine work, to build the HUDSON "33." The demand for cars increased. Orders were placed by consumers faster than cars could be finished.
The plant and the organization to take care of the demand--and this during a season when automobiles were not selling rapidly and when predictions were rife that pries would be cut--has proven entirely inadequate to meet the requirements.
The simplicity that is embodied in every detail of the HUDSON "33," the ample provision for strength, for long wearing qualities, comfort, luxury and appearance established a new motor car standard.
The HUDSON "33" truly sounds the new keynote of simplicity. It has fewer parts than most cars. It is dust proof in every bearing and embodies features that were unknown in the costliest cars of two years ago.
These new features can be obtained in combination on no other car at any price.
The One Chance For You
Some few dealers anticipated this demand for the HUDSON "33." They placed orders for great quantities of cars and if you happen to live in a city or town where there is such a HUDSON dealer, then you may have a chance of obtaining a HUDSON "33" this year. It is remote--yet surely it is worth investigating.
If you are not contemplating buying a HUDSON "33" but are considering some other car -- no matter what its price may be--it is especially important that you first examine the HUDSON "33." In that way you will form a standard of what to expect in the car you have in mind.
Act quickly if you are buying any car this season.
Write us or see our dealer in your territory at once.
The HUDSON "33" is furnished in four types: A Touring Car at $1400, a Pony Tonneau at $1450, a Torpedo at $1500, and a Fore-Door Touring Car at $1500. Each model accommodates five passengers except the Pony Tonneau, which carries four. These prices include lamps -- gas and oil -- Prest-O-Lite gas tank, Bosch magneto, mohair top, tools and tire repair outfit.
