Introduced only a few weeks ago,
the Electric Hand is already the
year's sensation! Faster, smoother,
easier shifting without ever taking
your hands from the wheel. Front
compartment entirely free "of gear
shift and brake levers.
Two other 1935 advancements have
held the spotlight wherever new
cars have been shown. Steel roofs!
Smoother, easier riding! And both
are yours in the new Hudsons and
Terraplanes — the only cars with
ALL THREE of 1935's "hit features."
You'll find the first steel roofs on
these Hudsons and Terraplanes—
and the only bodies completely of
steel. You'll find balanced riding—
with the plus advantage of the ex-
clusive Hudson method of spring-
ing that cradles the entire car.
Now you get even greater perform-
anee from ears long known as the
greatest performing of all stock
cars. Big Bendix Rotary -Equalized
Brakes --that always stop you
safely!
See these new cars now. Then
compare Hudson and Terraplane
with other cars, feature for feature
—and buy on facts.
