Well, the "Fabulous Hudson Hornets didn't. For 1951, as part of their marketing strategy, Hudson decided to support team racing with their Hudson Hornet model and offered to supply any performance parts that would be needed. Besides its light weight, and a torque monster of a flat head 6, its unique feature was its "step down" unibody design that offered a much lower center of gravity. This is the #6 Hornet of Marshall Teague with his crew chief, "Smokey" Yunick. Teague's first time out in February 1951s Daytona Beach and Road Course gave him a first place victory. He went on to win 27 of 34 races that year and was awarded the AAA Stock Car Driver of the Year in '51 as well as the 1952 and 1954 AAA National Stock Car Championship.

Rich your pictures are so rich in detail and clarity. This is one that I have along with just the green passenger car. Love the model. Thanks for sharing.

Apparently Marshall got to listen to the radio while he was racing.
