"It's the 1936 Terraplane," 1936
01
Artifact Overview
During the Great Depression, the Hudson Automobile Company introduced the budget-priced Terraplane in 1932. The car was capable of 80 miles per hour and set several racing records, making it worthy of its aviation-inspired name. Advertisements like this, though, emphasized value over speed. With the Depression easing in 1939, Hudson dropped the Terraplane line and refocused on its up-market cars.
