	Hudson Motor Car Company - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The company had a number of firsts for the auto industry, these included the automobile self starter, dual brakes, the use of dashboard oil-pressure and generator warning lights, and the first balanced crankshaft, which allowed the Hudson straight-6 engine to work at a higher rotational speed while remaining smooth, developing more power than lower-revving engines.
		Hudsons also used an oil bath and cork clutch mechanism which proved to be as durable as it was smooth.
		Hudson was the third largest U.S. car maker that year, after Ford Motor Company and Chevrolet.

	Co-Brand: Driving Today
		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.

	Hudson history
		The 1936 Hudson were equipped with patented double-safe Hydraulic brakes, and the automobile draft eliminator which equalized air pressure inside and outside the car.
		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.

	Hudson Motor Cars - focus on 1936
		Hudson quickly put the steering wheel on the left and hand levers in the center, their modern positions, and adopted GM’s self-starter earlier than most makers (this made cars easier to start and also much safer).
		Hudson won a number of competitive events, stressing economy, speed, and hill climbing, to no avail; but as with the rest of the industry, World War II saved Hudson, which made war materials, then helped to fill the demand for cars at the war’s end.
		Three models were available (arguably a single car with three variants): buyers could choose a six with a 120 inch wheelbase (at 93 and 100 horsepower, coincidentally the same ratings as Chrysler's later 2.2 and 2.5 liter fuel-injected engines), or an eight on a 120 or 127 inch wheelbase, boasting 113 and 124 horsepower.

	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 dealers, with the Jet Series, were already active in the market for compact cars, thus were ideally qualified to sell the popular Ramblers.
		The merger proved to a fortuitous one for Nash Motors becaused the Kelvinator Division revitalized the company and was largely responsible for the company's strong comeback after the drepression.

	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).

	What Model 1929 Hudson Is It?
		All Hudson cars of this year were powered by the same in-line six cylinder Super Six engine, which was advertised to produce 92 horsepower.
		Hudson advertising claimed a maximum speed in excess of 80 mph, and "70 mph all day." Hudson made bodies for many of the models itself; all were built with Hudson's then-novel all-steel construction that featured a piano-type hinge on the doors.
		Hudson utilized the services of the Briggs coach company for three models on the 122-inch R chassis (the Town Sedan, 5-Passenger Phaeton, and Roadster), and of Biddle and Smart for four of the five models on the 139-inch L chassis, as well as the two-door Victoria sedan and the Landau Sedan on the R chassis.

	Hudson Hornet cars and NASCAR racing
		The Hudson Hornet was one of the vehicles that made NASCAR racing viable, but NASCAR didn't help Hudson, at least not enough to stave off its demise.
		Hudson was founded in 1909 by Howard Coffin, George W. Dunham, and Roy E. Chapin.
		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.

	NASCAR.com - Evolution of a stock car: Part II - February 6, 2002
		One of the first major changes in race car development came in 1953, when the Oldsmobile, Lincoln and Hudson car companies introduced "severe usage" kits, primarily composed of suspension parts, in response to an alarming spate of failures to spindles, hubs, axles and other suspension pieces.
		Hudson's "Twin H" carburetor setup was one such tweak that Hudson drivers used to win 22 of 37 races in 1953.
		Through this period, Marshall Teague of Daytona Beach, one of racing's true innovators who was largely credited with bringing the Hudson Motor Car Company and Pure Oil into racing, pioneered the use of Chevrolet truck spindles and suspension parts when he was competing in AAA stock car racing.

		Hudson's booming sales in the 1920s were largely due to their inexpensive companion car, the Essex.
		The company also pioneered modestly priced closed cars, and in 1922 their 'coach' (a 2-door saloon) sold for only $100 more than a tourer.
		The first post war Hudsons were a continuation of the 1942 models, but 1948 brought the revolutionary Step-Down series with the company's high-compression sv in-line engines.

	My Classic Car Television with Dennis Gage
		The Hudson Motor Car Company introduced their low-priced companion car named Essex in 1919.
		Although it had all the style of a refrigerator box, sales of the coach exceeded even Hudson's expectations and demonstrated to the industry that closed cars were the wave of the future for American consumers.
		Styling moved closer in appearance to the senior Hudsons and by 1927 the Essex engine was even cataloged as the Super Six, carrying on the name of the great Hudson engines of the 'teens and 'twenties.
