Thebig sedanssoldwell foracoupleofyears, but fashion soon shifted to the close-coupled Brougham. pRoductionjumpedtoover12.000 bodies in 1923. Theplantexpansioncontinued, B &S,takingoveR, in the same year,the CuRRierCameron &Co. andtheir large"ColchesterMill" on Elm Street. In 1925 buildings fromHollander&MorrillBody Co., Witham Body Co., andT.W. Lane Company were added. Theaddedcapacitypermitted acceptance of asmall orderfromthe Rolls-RoyceSpringfield plant. In September1926, theBryantBody Co.was taken overtoobtain abuildingonCedar Street. This brought the total spacetonearly ahalf millionsquare feet in 21 buildings in six different sections of town. The properties of anumberofsmaller body-builders such as theAutoBody &FinishingCo., Withamand Hollander&MorrillwereabsorbedbyBiddle&Smart when they went outofbusiness in theearly to mid- twenties as they sought to expand their productionofbodies forHudson. Biddle&Smart supplied Hudson with aluminumbodies only. They hadnopressestoformsteel, nor did anyother company in Amesbury. In 1925,Biddle&Smart alsobegan making bodies forRolls-Royce'snew American company at Springfield,Massachusetts. In April 1925, thecompany shipped itsfirstRolls-Royce bodies,and by March,1926 its Amesbury holdings hadgrown fromnineshops to 41 scattered around town, turningout 400 bodies aday.Biddle&Smart'spiecemeal facilitiesamounted to acottageindustry.Bodies were dollied from place to place andput through individualdepartments forframing,metalworking, paintingand trimming.Italiancoachbuilders evolvedasimilar systemafterWorld War II. In Mayof1925, Hudson introduced theBiddle&Smart-builtBrougham, aclosed-coupled four-door sedan with blindrear quarters covered, as wasthe entire roof in black leather. The Broughams lentabit of cachet to theHudson line, andwas an immediate success. Thestyle wascontinuedinto1926, andin1927 wasdressedup with aset of landauirons,though theleather covering of theroof wasdeleted. Biddle&Smart productionpeaked in March,1926. 400 bodies aday were produced in threeeight-hour shiftsby4,736employees.The increased productionrequiredthe adaptationofthe newest powerwoodworking toolsand theuse of Ducopaint. Finished bodies were sent by rail from AmesburytoHudson in Detroit. The company operated in 21 buildings with nearly half amillionsquare feet of workspace, in six different sections of Amesbury. “Badweather andslowness in opening of theseason” slowed productionconsiderably laterinthe year. Howeverarecord 40,892 bodies were shipped that year,which wasnearly athousandmorethanin1925. The factthatHudson MotorCar Company built it’s own 10 milliondollar body plantinDetroitwas not agood sign forBiddle&Smart. By the endof1926 all steel Hudson sedanbodies were coming from thenew factory and by 1928 Biddle&Smart productionhad droppedby60%. From 1927 to 1929, at least19differentproductionbodies were made for Hudson,some of them designed by Walter Murphy with therestemanatingfromHudson. Hudson begantoadvertise all Biddleand Smart bodies as “custom-built," even though they were actuallyregular productionbodies,albeit cladinaluminum. Early in 1927 Walter M. Murphy Co.ofPasadena, California was commissionedtobuild aseries of prototype carsfor Hudson usingMurphy’snew thin-pillararchitecture. Sixthin-pillared prototype Hudsons were delivered to Hudson andsoon approvedbythe board of directors forthe 1928 modellineup. As Murphy lacked theproductioncapabilitythatHudson needed,Biddle&Smart wasthe natural choice to producethe production bodies so the prototypesweresentoff to Amesbury.Unfortunately Murphy’sstylish rooflines were judgedto be toolow by Hudson’schief of engineering, StephenFekete, andhequickly

  • Hudson Motor Car Company
    HUDSON MOTOR CAR COMPANY TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETINS Volume 1 TS 77-1 – TS 84-2 Introduction In the early 1970's I began a research project aimed at collecting information about Hudson built cars, the idea being to put this information from many sources into one place. The data came from Hudson parts books, owner's manuals, outside sources, even Hudson ads through the years. In 1984 I put it all together as "The Hudson, Essex and Terraplane Handbook of General Information". At that time, when I sought to find an outlet for this handbook, realizing that it would receive limited distribution, it met with resounding silence. Admittedly, I did not pursue the sales of this volume - i.e., advertising it in the HET Club publication, the "White Triangle News". I did, however, have some copies printed up and sent them to various chapter presidents with the idea of having them show it around to their members. In 1993 I came across a new medium for editing and storing this data - the computer age arrived at my household. Little did I realize at the time how much work and time would be involved in the task of imputing my original handbook to a computer file. However, it was finally done and now it was possible to print copies much more easily. It also became evident that it was easier to change - and while the basic information remains the same, there have been some corrections (mostly typos) and changes in format. Several HET members have received copies of these newer computer generated handbooks for services rendered - they also, I have found, make excellent Christmas gifts.
