Hudson Six Sedan


6H cabriolet


Restless automotive engineers have finally worked their way up to the roof. And now comes, Hudson with an all-steel one stretch body, that includes the roof. So the body color can go right on over the top without a break. Hudson started out to be exclusive in this feature, and the few other engineers that got to their roofs at abut the same time thought they were exclusive, too; but not many cars have it. And Hudson has the Electric Hand. It is not the Same as Reo's Self-Shifter, but is a sort of magical device that lets you pick out your gear-shifting in advance, and attend to do the job for you when the moment arrives.
