HISTORY
The Hudson Motor Car Company was known for producing durable, well engineered but
conservatively styled automobiles. That reputation was to be forever changed on December 7th, 1947 when Hudson
introduced their new 1948 models in nationwide showings. Banners proclaimed “This Time It’s Hudson”. The cars
won instant acclaim from the public. Production had actually begun on October 12th. The tremendous factory
conversion effort took only 23 days. Hudson spent $16,000,000 for development and new production equipment. The new
car was revolutionary in that virtually no parts interchanged with the 1947 models, except the eight cylinder
engine, which was essentially the same. The car had the lowest center of gravity and the lowest roofline of any
American car without sacrificing headroom, due to the floorpans being attached to the bottom of the frame members
instead of the top as all previous American cars had been. While the 1941 Nash 600 had been the first production
unibody car, the new Hudson was significantly more rugged in construction and offered a sleek new design that was
way ahead of the competition. The new body design was termed “Monobilt” because the body structure was of
welded all steel construction. The cars were available in Super and Commodore trim levels with either a Six or
Eight cylinder engine.
In the Fall of 1949 Hudson introduced a New Lower Priced line of cars, The New 1950
Pacemaker. It was offered in the Standard or Deluxe series. The body styles included a 2 door sedan or Brougham, a
four door sedan, a business coupe, club coupe and convertible brougham.The current mileage is 85,983. The milea
