1948 Hudson Cars Described 1948 HUDSON CARS DESCRIBED 1948 HUDSON - GENERAL: In 1948 Hudson introduced a completely new line of cars, using what would shortly become a popular styling approach. The streamlined 1948 Hudson stood just 60 inches high, which was as much as 5 inches lower than most of its contemporaries. This dramatic new styling was the result of a group of Hudson designers under the direction of Frank Spring. Conceptually, it was based on the Czechoslovakian Tatra T87, combined with some inspiration and target being GM's 1942 fastback “sedanet,” one of the last new designs introduced before the war had curtailed automobile production. The Hudson looked like it had been “chopped” by one of the then new California custom shops. It also looked thoroughly aerodynamic, which it was, considering Hudson didn’t have a test track, much less a wind tunnel. Later wind tunnel tests conducted by Nash later found that the Hudson had almost 20% less drag than contemporary notchback sedans. Despite Hudson President's A.E. Barit’s reticence, the press and public reaction to the new Hudson was favorable, if not enthusiastic. The frame Hudson released was also new - their trademarked “monobuilt” with “step-down” interior. It had a strong semi- unit body with a perimeter frame that runs around it entirely. This requires passengers to step down into their vehicles. The design was beneficial for Hudson on multiple levels; it provided passengers with extra protection because they were surrounded completely by the frame, and it allowed for weight savings, and therefore overall money savings, as it required less metal in production. The major pay-offs of the low height and step-down chassis was excellent handling. As before, both the Commodore and Super rode on the same chassis and used identical sheet metal - both having 6 and 8- cylinder availability in most models. The Commodore was merely more luxuriously appointed and trimmed; and additional options were available or standard over the Super. Four-door sedans, Brougham sedans and club coupes appeared first in late 1947, while other body styles were not available at the beginning of the new year. The Brougham Convertible in both the Super and Commodore trim was not available for most of the year - impacting sales. It did not arrive until August, The Super Six L-head grew to 262 CID - the first Hudson engine with a pressurized oiling system rather than simple splash lubrication. It was larger than the Eight and with more horsepower. The "Vacumotive" transmission engagement system continued - this automatically controlled the engagement of the clutch. INNOVATIONS: The completely new line of slab-sided cars with the famous "Step Down" interior design, that drastically lowered the center of gravity and improving handling by a wide margin. In addition to the advanced styling, A new significant transmission technology was unveiled - the "Drive-Master" system, that automatically controlled both the clutch engagement and gear changing - thought the transmission was still a standard manual unit. 1948 HUDSON SUPER: SERIES 481 SIX and SERIES 483 EIGHT. The Super model line returned, and though it was very similar in appointments and options to the 1947cars, it was entirely different in design and styling. Standard equipment for Super series models included striped Bedford Cord upholstery, gray salt and pepper carpet-like rubber front floor mats, rear carpeting, cord robe hangers in sedans, wood grained dash and window garnish moldings, 30-hour windup clocks, 17-inch steering wheel, adjustable sun visors, arm rests at ends of all seats, latch type ventipanes, wing type rear quarter windows in sedans, side window reveal moldings, full opening rear quarter windows in club coupes, front parking lamps, twin standard tail lamps, carryall trunk with horizontal mounted spare tire, luggage compartment floor mat, and wheel covers. 1948 HUDSON COMMODORE: SERIES 482 SIX and SERIES 484 EIGHT. All basic features and equipment of the Super Series were standard on Commodores, along with Broadcloth upholstery: with tan with green stripes or gray with blue stripes, air foam seat cushions, taupe colored carpet-like rubber front floor mats, rear compartment carpeting, cloth covered sedan robe hangers, 16-inch rear seat center arm rest in club coupe, cigarette lighter, two-tone walnut grained instrument panel, instrument panel dial dimmer, walnut grain window garnish moldings, twin adjustable swiveling sun visors. Also standard were plastic rimmed 18-inch DeLuxe steering wheel with horn ring, electric clock, side window reveal moldings, crank type front door ventilating wings, wing type rear quarter window ventilation in sedans, full-opening rear quarter windows in club coupe, rubber trunk mat and DeLuxe twin taillamps and front parking lamps. MODEL/ENGINE I.D. DATA: Super serial numbers. Super Sixes were numbered 481101 to 481117300. Super Eights were numbered 483101 to 48311786. Commodore serial numbers. Sixes were numbered 482101 to 48211730. Commodore Eights were numbered 484101 to 484117256. Serial numbers were on the right door post. Hudson did not provide body code numbers. In the production chart, the first three symbols comprise the series/model codes, followed by a group of numbers beginning at 101. The first two symbols were "48" in 1948, with the third symbol signifying the model: "481" = Super Six; "483" = Super Eight; "482" = Commodore Six; and "484" = Commodore Eight. The following group of numbers designated production sequence. Engine numbers were the same and were found on a boss near the top left side of the cylinder block and also between the first two manifold flanges.

Continued – Copyright © Automotive History Preservation Society, All Rights Reserved. Contact: Librarian, PO Box 467, Perry MI or e-mail [email protected]. PRODUCTION: The addition of the “step-down” body resulted in a 50% sales jump for Hudson in 1948. Model year sales hit the 117,400-unit level. This was a great shot in the arm for Hudson and proved that they were on the mark with consumers. Hudson was ranked as America's 11th largest maker this season. See attached chart for production numbers. Continued – CAR IMAGES: The 1948 Hudson Commodore 4-door Sedan was once again available in 6- and 8- cylinder configurations.
