The caption for this publicity photo reads as follows:

"Henry Sheldon, Chicago policeman, breaks a bottle of sparkling Burgundy over 'A Century of Progress Ranger' officially launching a Hudson Terraplane Coach on a ruggedness run, which will cover four states. The test will continue two weeks and the car is expected to roll up a year's mileage in that time. Sheldon, who resides at 5705 Seminole ave., was the winner of a contest in which the name of the car was selected."

The 1933-34 Century of Progress Exposition took place in Chicago. Hudson had a booth at the fair, at which patrons could view themselves on the then-new electronic marvel of television.
