The open roadster was an immediate success in 1909 and the Hudson went on to become a major independent auto maker in Detroit.

The Detroit Historical Museum This store was so successful, that ten years later Hudson built "the big store" at Gratiot and Farmer Streets, an eight story full-line department store. J.L.

A Websurfer's Guide to Hudson Hudson merged with long-time rival Nash in 1954 to form American Motors (which survived until the mid-1980's). As the war ended Hudson, like other US auto manufacturers, returned to car production offering versions of their pre-war 1942 models, all that was necessary to satisfy a car-hungry public. As the years passed, however, Hudson made an ever-increasing percentage of its own components "in-house": engines, bodies (when even GM and Ford "subbed out" their bodies), transmissions and differentials, to name but a few. www.hudsonclub.org /hudsonhistory.htm   (951 words)
