Hudson and Essex alone have the j

represents highest closed car value.
That is why it is the largest selling

Now it adds the proven superiority of
balloon tires ? greater riding ease, finer
appearance, improvedroad steadiness,
and almost doubled braking efficiency.
It marks another margin of advantage *
