01
Artifact Overview
Hudson's 1949 cars continued to reflect the unit-body construction and "step-down" design introduced by the company a year earlier. Customers could choose from the Super Six or Super Eight, or the more deluxe Commodore Custom. Body styles ranged from four-door sedans, to two-door coupes, to the elegant Convertible Brougham. Hudson sold more than 159,000 cars for the model year.
