The Hudson Hornet is a full-sized automobile which was produced by the Hudson Motor Car Company of Detroit, Michigan, between 1951 and 1954 and then by American Motors Corporation (AMC) in Kenosha, Wisconsin, and marketed under the Hudson brand between 1955 and 1957. In 1952 the "Twin H-Power" version now standard equipment with dual single-barrel carburetors atop a dual-intake manifold, and power rose to 170 hp. The Hornet proved to be nearly invincible in stock-car racing. "Despite its racing successes...sales began to languish."Hudson's competitors, using separate body-on-frame designs, could change the look of their models on a yearly basis without expensive chassis alterations" whereas the Hornet's "modern, sophisticated unibody design was expensive to update," so it "was essentially locked in" and "suffered against the planned obsolescence of the Big Three [General Motors, Ford, and Chrysler] automakers. Less than 19 known to have survived. ( https://www.vintagecarcollector.com/vehicles/648/1952-hudson-hornet)
And with my other Hudsons.
I still have this one to add along with a couple of stock car versions. My colors are a little off as usual, the green body color is a bit 'richer' as is the cream interior area color.
Looks great as a convertible! And love the engine!Â
