A novelty postcard used to advertise Tudhope Automobiles.
By 1912 the model name for the Tudhope-Everitt was changed to Tudhope 4-36. In addition, the Tudhope automobile lineup was extended with a new, larger model for 1913, the Tudhope 6-48.
This image is of a novelty postcard used for advertising. It features a 1913 Tudhope model 6-48 and invites the reader to “Rub a lead pencil or edge of coin over the tires of the TUDHOPE above and blank space beneath the running board and see how to eliminate every possibility of SKIDDING”.
This example has been “rubbed” - to reveal chains on all four tires.
1913 was the last full year of production for the Tudhope Motor Co. Ltd. The model “6-48” was their flagship model - the largest and fastest of the cars made in Orillia. It boasted capacity for 7 passengers, electric starter and lights and featured Canada’s first homebuilt 6-cylinder engine.
