tires, and horn."
The Motor Vehicles Department
suggests that you take your car
or truck, motorcycle, trailer, or
motorbike to one of the State's
36 mechanical inspection la:i"
operating throughout the State
The Department suggest also thz?t
you check these questions to check
your car's safety score:
1. Are you a one-eyed driver?
Is the light cut down by dirty
lenses? Do your headlights shoM
up in the air to blind oncoming
motorists?
2. Are your tail lights clean j
and bright, and stop lights in gooc I
working order?
3. Is your braking power good i
t nough to stop your car in an ,
emergency, for instance, if a c.iiltl |
should run into your path? At 2<i
miles per hour you should be abl>
to stop in 30 feet. Brakes should
be balanced so they take holu
evenly on all wheels without
"grabbing."
4. How is your steering and I
wheel alignment? Too much play I
in the wheel is a danger sign, and |
running against curbs or driving 1
on rutty roads can get wheels out I
of alignment before you know it |
5. What about your muffler and
exhaust system? Even if the mut
t!er is not getting noisy ? a su?e
sign of wear ? the system should I
be checked frequently to be sure j
i:0 carbon monoxide gas is leaking i
into the car.
(J. Are your windshield and '
windows clean and clear? They're 1
made to see through, you know |
So keep them clear of dirt, dis- 1
coloration and ornamental stick
ers. 1
7. And your windshield wipers ' j
It can't always be fair weather, i
Don't risk having to "drive blind ' j
should a storm catch you wit'i i
wipers in need of repair.
C. How about your tires? Ar
they properly inflated, well mat
ed. with good treads, and without
cuts, blisters and exposed fabric"
Is your rear-view mirror clenn
and clear? Don't let dirt, cracks
or discoloration blind the "eyes
in the back of your head."
1C. And your horn? Keep it in j
good working order, so you'll have

WHY "Stepping Pom "
IS SO IMPORTANT TO YOU
Hudson amazes motor-car world by
using vital "step-down" zone ? not
available in any other car ? to bring
you riding qualities and safety beyond
anything known before!
Word's going 'round? and fast, tiio?
tliat Hudson gives you a "sweet',' smooth,
safe ride that is a new high in motor-ear
jHTformanee !
Perhaps you've heard pleased ami proud
Hudson owners talking about this cx
eiting new experience, hut here's some
thing you may have missed hearing:
The key to this amazing new ride lies
in that area just under the floor of the
average car, which in the New Hudson
becomes the "step-down" zone? as illus
trated in the sketches at the right.
This "step-down" zone is all-important,
because experience lias shown that the
lower to the ground a car can be built,
the better it will handle, the more sta
bility it w ill have, the safer it will be,
and thus t lie more enjoyable and com
fortable will be your ride.
Hudson, and Hudson alone, has accom
plished a near miracle of low-built
streamlining and smooth, safe, comfort
able riding with a new type of base
frame which surrounds the passenger
compartment, and thus permits the floor
to be lowered down within it. Recessing
the fl?H?r creates the "step-dowrt" zone
and a center of gravity that is the lowest
in any American stork car ? yet road
clearance is ample!
That's why Hudson has a hug-thc-road
way of going, even in cross-winds, and
011 every conceivable kijid of highway.
When you see how this ear takes even
the sharpest curi es, it will spoil you for
any other type of automobile! You sense
this delightful conformity to the road
the ininnte you begin your ride; and this
stability, pins t lie protection of riding
encircled by a sturdy box-section steel
frame, gives you a grand feeling of safe
veil -being.
Sitting in this ear is as downright satis
fying as stretching out in your favorite
easy chair. You ride on seats that are
lowered and cradled ahead of the rear
whorls and. even with its low silhouette,
this I treat htakingly beautiful motor car
gives you more. head room than any
other mass-produced car built today!
Hudson's use of the vital "step-down"
zone in its exclusive, all steel Monobilt
body and-fraine* is a development that
required years of engineering work, the
perfection of new production techniques,
and millions of dollars in highly spe
cialized new plant investment. Perhaps
this explains why Hudson alone offers
this new design principle today.
The nearest Hudson dealer has a booklet
?yours for the asking ? which explains
how "stepping down" brings you advan
tages beyond anything known before!
