“STATE TO BUY HUDSON FLEET.”
Says the' San Francisco “Examiner” of Bth. June, 1930.
“Hudson Motor car officials have been notified by the State of California that the strictly stock model Hudson Great Eight has passed every test without a single mark against it, and that the company has been awarded the contract for 75 automobiles to be used by the California State Highway Control.
“News of the significant order for the new Hudsons was received from the factory by Rol Alexander, General Manager here for Stanley W. Smith, Inc., Mudson-Essex distributors for the San Francisco territory.
“The tests, which were confined to a field out down to eight by preliminary tests, were more severe than ever before, and the industry has always regarded the standards demanded bv the State of California as the maximum on almost every count,’ Alexander declared.
“‘The test this year .included acceleration, speed, brakes, front wheel shimmy, steering action slowest speed before and after the speed tests, vibration jerking, economy and reliability,’ he concluded.”
