Magazines, videos and loads of Hudson memorabilia, photos and art fill every corner of my basement exhibit. My first National HET Meet was Waterbury where I saw more Hudson products than I thought were left in the world. Now 22 years later, I have seen many hundreds more HETs. But, like all of you, I know that our Hudson family is really the most important part of our great Club. My love for our cars has grown over these past 20 plus years. I try to give to the Hudson Club by editing the Hudsoning column in WTN and serving as registrar for 1950 Hudsons. In addition, I have been able to attend half of the International Meets since joining the club 22 years ago. Now I face a new challenge as I join the Board of the HETHS. My goal is to learn, contribute and help with the tasks that lie My Hudson Life by Dick Teeter ahead. It all began at the age of 6 days when I rode Dick Teeter home from the hospital in my parent’s 1937 Hudson. Of course, I had ridden to the hospital in that car but I can’t remember that trip. Our next family car was a ’49 Hudson sedan followed by a ’54 Twin-H OD sedan. I learned to drive that one at 15 but a few years later there were no more new, wonderful Hudsons to be had. An old ’49 H sedan was with me for a year in 1960 at college. That was my last Hudson for many Dick & Mary Anne years. In 1990 the Hudson bug bit me once again when I saw an old Saturday Evening Post ad in an antique store. That $3 ad led to more ads, sales literature and finally a search for a real Hudson. In 1991 I bought my present

But for the independent automakers, innova- tion was always doubly important. They couldn’t rely on status quo; they needed to go the extra mile, to offer something extra in order to make a sale.

Horsepower went from 48hp in the original six versus 76hp in the new engine, an increase of 60 percent. At Daytona, race driver Ralph Mulford clocked 102.5 MPH, setting a new stock car record. Hudson also set new rec- ords at Pikes Peak and Sheepshead Bay. Thus the “Super-Six” was born. Hudson had a “Super-Six” for the rest of her life, al- ways performing well whether it be power- ing a family car or in racing competition. All of us remember the “Fabulous Hudson Hor- nets” that dominated the NASCAR tracks in the early ‘50s. But more importantly, it was Hudson’s de- sign team and the resulting Super-Six en- gine that set the standard for the rest of the automotive world. As the four-cylinder mo- tors gave way to a desire for more power and smoother operation, manufacturers turned to the in-line six. Hudson engineers had already laid the ground work. The prin- ciples they had put into practice such as proper crankshaft counterbalancing, better breathing capabilities, and a higher com- pression ratio set the stage for a new era of motoring. For decades, the in-line six was the standard for practical, smooth power for America’s automobile industry. Many of the principles the Hudson team learned in protect passengers from the elements.

Hudson went straight to the NASCAR track with the Hornet and it was a winner! The car was nothing short of a sensation. In 1951 the Hornet took first place in twelve races out of 33. By ’52 the company met the racing challenge by developing and catalog- ing a host of factory items listed as either ex- port or police use, but in reality were a means to enhance their NASCAR chances. Most importantly, Hudson introduced her “Twin H-Power” dual carburetion system. In mid-'52 they introduced the mighty "7X" Hor- net engine intended for NASCAR competi- tion but available to the public in limited num- bers, per NASCAR rules. These engines sported higher compression, a racing cam- shaft, larger valves, extensive "relief" around the valves for better breathing and "hand massaged" intake ports. The result was an output of well over 200 HP The Hornet hit her stride in ’52 and won 27 out of 34 NASCAR Grand Nationals. The “Fabulous Hudson Hornet” dominated the NASCAR scene from the time of her intro- duction in 1951 through 1954 when the last of the true Hudsons were built. The Hudson
