Not one is as light as Hudson in this class. Our rivals, of course, say their extra weight perhaps hundreds of pounds is essential. But' it isn't. Np more than 4,500 pounds which Sixes used to weigh. And to carry extra weight daily is a heavy tax, both on tires and fuel.

Why Go Half Way? This is the day of Light Sixes. Men have definitely decided never again to carry vast, crude, needless weight. All leading cars are built lighter. Overwhelming demand has compelled it. But many cars, in another year, will be lighter still.
