Susanville in the early 1930’s from Inspiration Point.

Endurance is Aim of Test to Come Here
October 26, 1934


Something new in the way of automobile tests is being promised to Susanville residents by R. Q. Deal, local auto dealer, when the ā€˜Ruggedness Run,’ being sponsored by the Hudson Terraplane people ā€œcomes to town.ā€

The ā€œRuggedness Runā€ is designed primarily as an advertising medium to convince the public of the durability of the car selected to make the driving test.

Approximately one year’s average mileage is put on the car in the space of two weeks and the driving is done over rough roads and routes ordinarily avoided.

The exact date of the machine’s arrival in Susanville has not been released as yet.
