  • 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.

  • 1947 Hudson Cars Described
    1947 HUDSON CARS DESCRIBED 1947 HUDSON - GENERAL: Hudsons were only slightly changed for 1947 as the company was invested in a new, sleek 1948 model. The changes were in minor trim only and in some optional equipment. 1947 HUDSON SUPER: SERIES 171 SIX and SERIES 173 EIGHT. Minor styling changes and equipment revisions were all that took place on 1947 Hudsons, as tooling was solidly in place for the upcoming all-new 1948 cars. Plastic trunk emblems were replaced with bright metal and the Hudson corporate logo emblem, centered in the upper grille bar, was slightly enlarged. Standard features for Supers included diagonal check Boucle upholstery, single adjustable hinged sun visor, 30-hour windup clock, wood grained window finish moldings, black rubber front floor covering, carryall luggage compartment with vertically housed spare tire, felt trunk mats, cord robe hangers in sedans, new hood side ornaments, 17 inch steering wheel, latch type front ventipanes, twin standard tail lamps, sliding-pane rear quarter glass in sedans and stationary rear quarter glass in club coupes. 1947 HUDSON COMMODORE: SERIES 172 SIX and SERIES 174 EIGHT. All basic features and Super Series equipment were standard on Commodores, along with herringbone weave upholstery, electric clock, air foam seat cushions, rear seat center arm rest in sedans, cigarette lighter, chrome window finish moldings, instrument dial dimmer, carpet insert rubber front floor mats, rubber trunk mat, leather robe hangers in sedans, side window reveal moldings, rear window bars, auxiliary belt moldings, new hood-top ornament with plastic crest, hood-side ornaments, bumper bar wing extensions for front and rear.

  • Staying Tuned, Taking Action! Quick Response of SAN Members Stop Lawmaker’S Attempt to Sneak by Harmful Legislation
    Delivering Up-to-Date Information to America’s Car Clubs and Enthusiasts www.semasan.com OCTOBER 2008 Staying Tuned, Taking Action! Quick Response of SAN Members Stop Lawmaker’s Attempt to Sneak by Harmful Legislation he closing days of a legislative session could be best described as controlled chaos. Bills are negotiated, compromises are made and Tlaws are passed. While most legislators use this opportunity to finish the people’s business, others have taken advantage of this confusing time to avoid scrutiny that would have otherwise prevented a bill from being approved. SAN members in California recently experienced such an occurrence and rose to the occasion. Their vigilance and quick response ensured that such actions would not go unnoticed. The story played out like this. A lawmaker introduced a bill regarding court procedures in divorce cases. The bill went through the legislative process, was passed by the California Assembly and moved onto the Senate floor where it was days from final approval. In the closing moments of the session, the lawmaker changed this bill, took out the existing text and replaced it with changes to the State’s smog-check program. Better yet, it was the exact language that hobbyists defeated just a year ago that would have required all vehicles 15 years old and older to undergo yearly smog-check inspections. The SAN discovered this change and mobilized its membership. An e-mail action alert was sent out immediately, and within moments the phones in Sacramento began ringing off the hook. Legislators were made aware of the underhanded approached taken by the lawmaker and a few of them ensured SAN members that the bill would not receive consideration.

  • HUDSON by Rick Feibusch
    THE 1949 TO 1954 "STEP-DOWN" HUDSON by Rick Feibusch Prior to the 2006 release of the Pixar/Disney film “Cars,” in which a blue Hudson Hornet called “Doc Hudson ” stars as a decidedly grumpy retired racecar from the past, many younger people viewed the Hudson motorcar as the extinct cousin to the Nash and yet another marque fatality of the 1950s. There are still many of us that remember this fine nameplate in its pre-AMC merger days, when high q uality, solid build, pace setting performance, and technical innovation were Hudson hallmarks. Created with the idea to offer improved transportation at a reasonable cost, Hudson was successful almost from the start in serving the upper middle-class motorists of the day. Unlike many pioneer automakers, the Hudson wasn't named for the man who created the car, but for the man who financed the company. The founders of this firm, veterans of the Olds Motor Works, were Roy D. Chapin, Howard Coffin, George Dunham and Roscoe Jackson. The honor of sharing his name with the new brand went to Joseph Hudson, owner of the giant department store, and an uncle to Mr. Jackson by marriage. Prior to WWII, the Hudson line was considered a great example of independent auto making, one of the most respected names in American automobiles. From the streamlined little Terraplanes, competing well against contemporary Fords, Plymouths, and Chevys, to the big Super Eight Broughams which ventured off into big Buick territory, the Hudson had quite a following of folks that understood quality motorcars and dared to be a bit different.
