Headlamps
Place the vehicle under normal load on a level floor squarely facing a smooth
wall 25 feet from the headlamps.
Measure the height of the lamp bulbs from the ground and draw a horizontal
line on the wall at the same height as the bulbs.
Sight through windshield along hood rod and radiator cap to determine the
center line of the vehicle. Locate center lines of lamps on the wall from this
line.
With the light control in the position throwing the light beam farthest from
the vehicle, cover left lamp to obscure its light beam.
Loosen the right mounting nut (under fender apron) and aim the right lamp
so that the top of the beam is just even with the horizontal line and equal
portions on each side of line on the wall indicating the center line of the right
lamp.
Repeat operations with the left lamp and the headlamps will be properly
aligned.
Care of the Finish
The same care should be exercised in washing and cleaning cars finished in
lacquer or enamel as is employed in the handling of varnished surfaces. Dry
dirt accumulations should not be wiped off but should be softened and re-
moved by thoroughly soaking the body with flowing water, applied under light
pressure.
After careful washing of the car, an application of Hudson-Essex polish is
recommended. This high-grade cleaner and polish, especially prepared for
lacquer and enameled surfaces, may be obtained from your Hudson-Essex
dealer and its periodic use will maintain the original high luster and preserve
the finish. Polishes containing strong abrasives are particularly destructive to
the striping and their use should be avoided. Anti-freeze solutions containing
alcohol when accidentally spilled on the finish should be immediately washed
off with clear water to prevent spotting, as alcohol is a solvent of lacquer.
