01

Artifact Overview

Like other American automakers, Hudson devoted its employees and facilities exclusively to military production during World War II. For its postwar 1946 models, Hudson freshened its prewar body with a new grille capped by a prominent Hudson badge. Buyers could choose from the Hudson Super or the fancier Hudson Commodore. Hudson's model-year sales totaled about 95,000 cars.
