equipped with added features in heater design—provision for supplying warns
air to the windshield for defrosting and a side opening port for furnishing a flow
of warns air to the driver's feet as well as for floor warming. These features are
controlled by a knob on the left side of the heater.
The CUSTOM HEATER, with a large core and attractive fittings, is truly a
remarkable development in heater performance. It is also equipped with the de-
frosting, driver's foot and floor warming features. An illuminated tenite knob
which harmonizes with the instrument control knobs is used to control the
motor speed.
HUDSON SEAT COVERS are most comfortable—they fit the seats snugly
and do not wrinkle up under the passengers. Their smooth, non-clinging surface
makes it easier to enter and leave the car. The basket weave construction of the
fabric matting permits circulation of air through the material, giving greater cool-
ness during the hot weather. They are easily cleaned by sponging with soap and
water. They protect the entire seat and blend harmoniously with Hudson
Terraplane interiors.
Owners who live in areas where fog, heavy snows and rainstorms occur fre-
quently will appreciate the installation of a HUDSON FOG
LIGHT. The
com-
bination of the amber lens and low installed position prevents glare and reflection
into the driver's eyes. The low, broad amber beam projected by this light greatly
increases
road visibility. The Fog Light is designed to harmonize with the car
headlamps and is finished in a durable chromium finish.
HUDSON FENDER LAMPS, beautifully designed in the streamline motif,
afford real protection while parking at night. These lights use a minimum of
battery power. They may he seen from the side as well as the front. These lamps
are available lacquered to match the fenders.
The COMBINATION FUEL PUMP AND VACUUM PUMP is particularly
adapted to mountainous territories where heavy rain or snow is experienced and
which taxes to the limit the operation of the windshield wipers. The combina-
tion fuel pump and vacuum pump provides extra vacuum power for the wind-
shield wipers, making it possible to operate very favorably under the most adverse
conditions. Its installation also eliminates the slight lag in windshield wiper
operation during acceleration.
An ELECTRIC CLOCK, with dial face similar in design and same size as
the speedometer, may he installed in the right-hand locker box door. The dial is
indirectly illuminated and harmonizes with the balance of the instruments. To
install, it is merely necessary to remove the door hole cover by removing the three
sheet metal screws in the locker box door.
A VISOR identical with the left-hand visor can be
readily
installed, as proper
mountings have been provided in the right side of the windshield header.
TWO TYPES OF INSTRUMENT PANEL CIGAR LIGHTERS are avail-
able. One is the conventional type where it is necessary to hold the heat element
until it glows. The second is the new Automatic Cigar Lighter which eliminates
fumbling—pushing—dangerous one-hand driving and permits the motorists to
keep their
eyes on the road. It clicks a warning when ready for use.
