Hudson had their last gasp in 1957. In 1958 Dinky released this Hudson Hornet 4-door in yellow/gray or red/cream. After 1959 the wheels switched from painted cast type to spun metal, meaning this version was on sale for less than 2 years.

For those preferring more detail and precise 1/43 scale, there is the NEO version.

That’s a real treasure, Harve, and it’s in beautiful shape.

Nice models Harv;  I have these two in MB but as they are packed away I can't check to see the wheel type.  By what you say though the odds are spun metal.

Nice one, Harv.  Here's a similar Hudson by NEO.
