	Hudson Motor Car - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In 1919 Hudson introduced the Essex brand line of automobiles; the line originally was Hudson's line for middle class auto buyers, designed to compete with Ford and Chevrolet, as opposed to the more up-scale Hudson line.
		One of Hudson's most famous cars was the Terraplane produced between 1932 and 1938, first as Essex-Terraplane in 1932-1933, and then as Terraplane until 1938.
		After the war, Hudson initially did quite well, and their late-1940s low and rounded "step-down" styling, which lasted through the 1954 model year, was ahead of its time when introduced, and quite aerodynamic for the era.

		Hudson joined the Ford parade and moved the steering wheel and driver's position to the left side of the car, and, at the same time moved the hand levers for gear selection and emergency braking inside to the center of the car.
		Hudson got off to a good start by introducing an all-new Super Six in 1948, but it might be said that the car was too advanced for the marketplace.
		Hudson's competitors, using separate body-on-frame designs, could change the look of their models on a yearly basis without expensive chassis alterations, but the Hudson Hornet design was essentially locked in until a re-engineering came due.

	Once teeming with auto plants, Detroit now home to only a few nameplates
		Hudson built the Essex through a separate corporation and in 1922 the Essex was the lowest-priced closed coach car in America and selling well.
		Hudson built the Terraplane as a separate car until 1938, when it made the Terraplane a model of the Hudson, then dropped it in 1939, apparently because it felt the Terraplane tail was beginning to wag the Hudson dog and Terraplane was overshadowing Hudson.
		Hudson had many glory days -- famous aviatrix Amelia Earhart helping to introduce the first Terraplane, Marshall Teague and his road-racing triumphs in the booming big-six Hornet of the '50s -- but the Depression had hurt the company badly and the stakes were getting too big in the auto business for the smaller independents.

	A Websurfer's Guide to Hudson
		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.
		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.
		Hudson merged with long-time rival Nash in 1954 to form American Motors (which survived until the mid-1980's).

	American Motors
		Hudson's "Monobilt" construction was enough like Nash's "unitized" method, in which body and frame are one all-welded unit, that a changeover to one assembly line for two series of cars was much easier to bring about that it would have been with other makes.
		Hudson hailed the '48 as the "car you step down into", the first American-made automobile with a low silhouette, combining greater beauty, stability, "hug-the- road" ride and safety, with adequate interionr headroom and comfort.
		Hudson cars since then have retained this low silhouette, now common in the industry, while its engines kept being improved and the line rounded out, until it had a range of seven powers.

		In 1948 Hudson got off to a good start by introducing an all-new Super Six (the Super Six engine evolved into the "308" Hornet powerplant which made Hudson the king of stock car racing 1952-54), but it might be said that the car was too advanced for the marketplace.
