Members started to arrive early at the restaurant before noon and we soon had eight Hudsons and one very nice AMC American in the east parking lot. The weather was perfect for late June, no wind and no rain in the forecast. There was a short meeting concerning the 2016 Big Country Meet. The South Texas Chapter has volunteered to host that meet in 2016. Most of the discus- sion during the meeting was about a possible meet location. We need to thank Ken and Yolanda for being the coordinators of the meet. On a sad note, received an email from Ken about a Clinton checking out the A/C week after the meet, the restaurant had on Calvin’s ‘54 Hollywood. closed down that week. When was the last time you had a 1932 Hudson Eight parked in your driveway? To our surprise one morning Vicki looked out the kitchen window as the ‘32 drove into the drive- way. Del Fast was out cruising the neighborhood and stopped by to show us how well the old car was running. He gave us a ride around the neigh- borhood and the engine could not have sound bet- ter. It was truly a nice way to start off the day. Note: The ‘32 made the front cover of the March/ April issue of the WTN in 2012. Notes from the Editor In the June issue of the Hudson monthly, I made an error con- cerning Will Moon’s Essex. I printed that the Essex was a 1930 model, actually it’s a 1931 model. Will has had the car for over 50 years, and has cumulated over 300,000 miles on the Essex. Will and Brandon made the trip from the Wichita area to the Big Country Meet as always just motor- ing down the highway. We still have a few members that have not paid their chapter dues. This may be their last newslet- ter. Currently we have 62 paid-up members in the chapter. VOLUME 43, ISSUE 7 THEHUDSONMONTHLY PAGE 3 History of the Hudson Motor Car Company Copied from the July 1953 issue of the Hudson Service Merchandiser The Hudson Motor Car Company was founded in 1909 by eight men whose vision and business acumen had brought them to positions of some prominence in Detroit, several of whom were later to be known throughout the nation. These men, who agreed to go into partnership in an attempt to build a car for less than $1000, were: J.L.. Hudson, R.B. Jackson, Hugh Chalmers, H.E. Coffin, F.O. Bezner, Roy D. Chapin, J.J. Brady and Lee Counselman. On February 24, 1909, designs for the Hudson Model “Twenty” were found to suit their purposes and the partners agreed to incorporate the firm under the laws of Michigan. The First Hudson Plans for the Hudson “Twenty” were years ahead of the times. It was to be the first low-cost auto- mobile equipped with a selective sliding gear transmission, and it was to be within reach of the average buyer, selling at $900 f.o.b. Detroit. With this at-that-time revolutionary car on the drawing boards, the firm partners secured a small two-story plant with 80,000 square feet of floor space, and on July 3, 1909 with 500 men at work and a to- tal capital of $20,000 the first Hudson car rolled out of the factory. The Hudson “Twenty” was an instantaneous success. Over 4,000 were sold that first year– the big- gest first year’s business in the history of the industry up to that time. The first 16 months net sales amount- ed to $3,980.999. A Hudson advertisement in the Saturday Evening Post of June 19, 1909, showed a roadster-type car with bucket seats and a gasoline tank mounted up behind. It described the “Model Twenty” as follows: “Here’s a car that is good looking. It is big and racy. Note the graceful and harmonious lines. Observe the sweep of the fenders and the frame.” “The Hudson Twenty has a sliding gear transmission, selective type, three speeds forward and re- verse. The Motor is vertical, four-cylinders, four cycle, water cooled, known as the Renault type.” PAGE 4 THEHUDSONMONTHLY VOLUME 43, ISSUE 7 North Texas Hudson Dealers August Joint Meet with the AAIAA August Meet Date: August 16, 2014 Time: 12:00 Noon Location: Buchanan Ranch/Decatur, TX 1382 CR 4191, Decatur, TX Cell Numbers Calvin 817-996-0932 or Virginia 940-389-3867, Home 940-627-5229 Lunch will be after 12:00, the hosts will provide the main dish BBQ.

VOLUME 43, ISSUE 7 THEHUDSONMONTHLY PAGE 5 The National Hudson Motor Car Company Museum The museum, the result of a partnership between The Ypsilanti Automotive Heritage Museum and the Hudson Essex Ter- raplane Historical Society, will open in September occupying the former Miller Motors dealership, and will be organized in such a way as to relate as much of the Hudson brand’s story as possible. In addition to the Hudson models that once formed the backbone of Jack Miller’s collection, other historic Hudson models will be exhibited on loan from collectors. Per museum manager Ed Souers, that list will include everything from a 1910 Hudson Model 20 two-seat roadster to the final 1957 Hudson model built, a Hudson Hornet Hollywood that rolled off the assembly line in Kenosha, Wisconsin, on June 25, 1957. It will also include a vehicle to be added to the National Historic Vehicle Reg•ister, the number 92 “Fabulous Hudson Hornet” of NASCAR racer Herb Thomas. It was Jack Miller who tracked down Thomas’s badly-neglected racer, ar- ranged its purchase (after a decade of negotiation) and restored the car to its as-raced state; last November, Miller sold the car to Souers, who will proudly display it in the museum he manages. Ypsilanti, Michigan’s Miller Motors continued to represent the Hudson brand long after the company closed its doors, earn- ing it the title of “the world’s last Hudson dealership.” Now, 58 years after the American automotive brand’s de•mise, Mil- ler Motors will fittingly serve as the home to the National Hudson Motor Car Museum, the nation’s first in•stitution devoted entirely to the Hudson brand. The building at 100 East Cross Street in Ypsilanti has an automotive dealership history that dates back to 1916, when Dodge automobiles were sold at the location. By the end of the 1920s, the shop had phased out Dodge in favor of Hudson-Terraplane and Willys-Overland, although this latter fran•chise lasted only from 1928-1929. Until the Wall Street crash, 1929 turned out to be a record year for Hudson sales in Ypsilanti, with the dealer- ship moving 212 new cars through its doors. In 1932, Carl Miller bought into the dealership with partner Alex Longnecker. The pair had experience in car sales and considered several higher-traffic locations for their Ypsilanti Hudson dealership before settling on the store’s existing loca- tion. Though located blocks off the city’s main street, the East Cross Street location had the advantage of cheap rent, and in the frugal post-Great Depression years, a penny saved was truly a penny earned. Roughly a decade later, Miller was able to buy out his partner, and his Hudson Sales and Service business managed to sell between 30 and 60 cars annually, a rea- sonable volume in the postwar years.

  • 1953 Hudson Cars Described
    1953 HUDSON CARS DESCRIBED 1953 HUDSON - GENERAL: A downsized Hudson arrived this year, called the Hudson Jet. It had styling that would be mimicked by the rest of the line in 1954. Gone was the Pacemaker. with its nameplate replaced by a new, lower level Wasp. The upper level Wasp, called the "Super Wasp," and it moved into the former Commodore 6 slot that now disappeared. The Hornet finally supplanted the Commodore 8 completely. The nameplate was retired, putting the 8-cylinder powerplant out to pasture. That L-head I-8, having served twenty long years from 1932 until 1952, was gone. The consolidation of lines and the removal of the Commodore Six and Eight allowed for less tooling in the Wasp-Hornet lines and should have saved money. The problem was that production kept dropping even though the cars were considered popular. The issue at hand was dated styling and the lack of an OHV V-8. At the root of the lower production was Hudson's lack of investment dollars when that trend to V8s and more modern styling was pulling the Big Three away from all other competition. Worse, a good deal the sales problems were the result of Hudson misreading their audience and thinking that these changes weren't needed. Even with the introduction of the Jet, production dropped. And Hudson's racing victories, that outshone all rivals, while earning respect for the brand, did not entice buyers into the showrooms. INNOVATIONS: The Hudson Jet, a smaller, more economical model, was introduced. It was an attempt to drop into the lower price market to pick up sales.

  • 1934 1937 Hudson and Terraplane Mechanical Procedure Manual
    THE MECHANICAL PROCEDURE MANUAL FOR HUDSON AND TERRAPLANE SERVICE MEN The Hudson Motor Car Company has throughout its existence endeav- ored to build into its products the highest quality of material and work- manship to insure the purchaser economical, trouble free transportation. THE success in this endeavor is attested to by the unusually high percent- age of total cars built since the organization of the company in 1909, which still continue to be operated as motor vehicles. There are recorded, in addition, many cases wherein the age of the vehicle obsoleted it for its original purpose and the engine and other mechanical units have been removed and are being utilized as power units for farm machinery, saw mills, pumps, boats, etc. The Hudson Motor Car Company realizes that even with maximum diligence in design and manufacture, the reputation of its products depends to a large extent upon intelligent and regular servicing and has prepared this manual as a guide and a help to the thousands of men, many of whom for more than 25 years have diligently striven to maintain the performance and reputation, in their respective localities, of Hudson built cars through careful and efficient service. To these men belong much credit for the reputation of Hudson built products and this manual is therefore dedicated to them, The Hudson Terraplane Service Men.

  • 1909-1957 Introduction
    SERIAL NUMBERS FOR Hudson - Essex - Essex-Terraplane & Terraplane 1909-1957 INTRODUCTION A study of Hudson serial numbers is, to say the least an interesting exercise. I have been working on the numbers for over 30 years, and I doubt I fully understand the Hudson system. The main problem with researching these numbers is that over several sources I found many disagreements - even within Hudson publications. A good example of this confusion is the 1948-1954 numbers. Most Hudson sources give -101 as the starting number from 1948 thru 1954, regardless of model. Other sources gave other starting numbers. Over the years as we obtained more information from various sources, such as copies of two documents that listed 1946 thru 1954 Monthly Model Year Production Data giving a monthly break down of serial numbers, we have incorporated that data into our data base. For example for 1948 serial numbers 101-860 are shown as being produced in October 1947. We combined the two (1946-1947 and 1948-1954) into one document and it is reproduced in this booklet. When all is said and done we cannot say that these figures, especially the early numbers, are entirely accurate. We have done the best we can with what we had, but we feel that what we have is as accurate as can be found. The main sources of these numbers are as follows: Various Hudson parts book; Branhams Automobile Reference Book NADA Official Used Car Guides; Official Blue Book New & Used Car Guide We found the Branhams books to be quite accurate when compared against Hudson books.

  • The Evolution of the US Automotive Industry
    The Evolution of the U.S. Automotive Industry Course No: D05-004 Credit: 5 PDH Robert P. Tata, P.E. Continuing Education and Development, Inc. 22 Stonewall Court Woodcliff Lake, NJ 07677 P: (877) 322-5800 [email protected] The Evolution of the U.S. Automotive Industry Copyright 2013 Robert Tata, B.M.S.E., P.E. All Rights Reserved Introduction The author, a licensed Professional Engineer, has also been employed in an engineering capacity by all “Big Three” automakers; GM, Ford, & Chrysler. Here he has sought to investigate the series of events that made Detroit, Michigan the automotive capital of the world. Detroit, Michigan is a place, off the beaten path, in an isolated glove-shape piece of land thrust up between two lakes, with sometimes very inclement weather. Ohio and Indiana, who were also active in the creation of the auto industry in the U.S., are in the same general area of the country as Michigan and share the same climate. How did the industry get its start in this three-state area. One would think that other parts of the country would be more conducive to the formation of such an important part of the history of this nation. Michigan, Ohio, and Indiana were not members of the original 13 states and therefore have to be considered less developed territories than the original thirteen states around the turn of the 19th century when the American gasoline powered automobile was invented. Read how the author has searched for the answers to these somewhat perplexing questions surrounding why Detroit became “The Motor City”.
