Deze heeft alles mee, namelijk; het bouwjaar 1953, het model coupe, de kleurencombinatie van ‘Robins Egg Green body met Surf Green dak’, de snelste uitvoering met 7X specificaties en de uitmuntende conditie! Gerestaureerd door Hudson specialist: Wildrick Restorations uit Shelbyville, IN.
Hudson was een Amerikaans luxe automerk en was zeer succesvol in de NASCAR Grand National Series en de AAA stock car racerij begin jaren vijftig. Door de kenmerkende constructie had Hudson een laag zwaartepunt en relatief uitstekende wegligging. De 5 liter ‘308’ 6 cilinder lijn motoren met ‘Twin H-Power’ hadden enorm veel koppel. Voor homolegatie in de stock car race was het mogelijk om een Hudson Hornet met de zogenaamde 7X-racing specificaties te krijgen (waaronder speciale nokkenas) die 210 pk leverde! In combinatie met een handgeschakelde 3-bak met overdrive een echte rijdersauto!
Door de Disney-film ‘Cars’ kreeg de Hudson Hornet veel bekendheid bij het grote publiek. Ook autogek Jay Leno is een van de grote enthousiastelingen van de Hornet, zie de filmpjes op Youtube en de aflevering van Jay Leno’s Garage met de Hudson. Een dergelijk exemplaar als deze is een zeldzaamheid in de VS laat staan in Europa! Dit is een collectors item die je eens in het echt moet zien. Een ervaring om mee te rijden.

About Hudson
Buckle up, folks, because we're about to take a thrilling ride through the incredible history of Hudson, the American automaker that roared through the golden age of cars with style, innovation, and a whole lot of spirit!
Born in the USA:
Hudson was as American as apple pie and jazz music. It rolled onto the scene in the early 1900s, right when the automobile industry was hitting its stride. From the start, Hudson was all about making cars for the everyday American, and boy, did they do it with flair!
Step On It!
Hudson was known for its performance. The Terraplane, introduced in the 1930s, became a legend for its speed and reliability. It was the kind of car that could outrun anything on the road and still have room for a family picnic in the back.
Innovators Extraordinaire:
Hudson wasn't content with just being fast; they wanted to be first. They introduced the "step-down" design in the late 1940s, making their cars lower and sleeker for better handling. It was a game-changer in the automotive world and set the bar for everyone else.
Racing Legends:
Hudson wasn't just about making cars for the street; they wanted to dominate the racetrack too. They stormed into NASCAR and became legendary for their racing successes. Drivers like Marshall Teague tore up the track, making Hudson a force to be reckoned with.
The Hudson Hornet:
When we talk about Hudson, we can't forget the Hudson Hornet. It was a true icon of the 1950s, winning countless races and stealing the hearts of car enthusiasts everywhere. That sleek, low-slung design and the unmistakable hornet emblem made it an instant classic.
End of the Road:
Unfortunately, all good things must come to an end. Hudson merged with Nash-Kelvinator in the 1950s to form American Motors Corporation (AMC). While it marked the end of the Hudson brand, its legacy lives on in the hearts of those who remember the "Fabulous Hudson Hornet" and the roaring spirit of a true American automaker.
So, there you have it, the incredible journey of Hudson, the American underdog that roared through the automotive world with style, innovation, and a whole lot of high-spirited determination. Cheers to Hudson, a name that will forever be etched in the annals of automotive history!
