1937 Hudson Terraplane original vintage advertisement.
DESCRIPTION:
A BILLION MILES OF DRIVING WITHOUT A GEAR SHIFT LEVER!
1. Flick the lever here to the gear you want next!
2. Just lift your toe here… and the gears shift!
3. Floor all clear here… no gear or brake lever!
More than 100,000 Hudson and Terraplane owners have already driven over a billion miles this NEW way . . . selecting gears with a finger flick at the wheel, instead of tugging at a hand gear lever!
In a Hudson or Terraplane with the new Selective Automatic Shift, you can forget the clutch pedal. Just lift your toe from the accelerator . . . and gears shift themselves. Both hands stay on the wheel . . . both eyes on the road. The front floor is clear of the levers that used to clutter it up. There is foot room for three, along with 55 full inches of front seat comfort . . . several inches more than you find in any other popular car.
Of course the conventional gear lever is available without cost if desired . . . but once you have driven this magically easier and safer way, we believe you will want the Selective Automatic Shift, an optional extra on all 1937 Hudsons and Terraplanes. Try it . . . today. And discover the long list of other advantages that make these the No. 1 Cars of the moderate and low price fields.
REMARKABLE ECONOMY PROVED AGAIN!
Los Angeles, Calif.: Hudson Eight — 22.71 miles per gallon! Terraplane — 22 miles per gallon! These are the official gasoline mileage figures established by Hudson and Terraplane in the 1937 Los Angeles-Yosemite Economy Run. And they are certified by the American Automobile Association, under whose supervision the test was held. Hudson beat all other Eights by more than 2 miles per gallon. Terraplane had the best gasoline mileage of all leading low priced cars. This annual classic was run over a twisting, mountainous, 352-mile course. Each car carried five passengers and baggage — with no coasting allowed.
