Hudson had beautiful automobiles. Why did they die out?
In 1954 Hudson merged with Nash to become American Motors Corporation.

Nice set! I am sorry that you did not get the Hudson Hornet, every teenagers dream, a long while ago.

AMC must not have kept the Hudson designers. They came out with the Gremlin, matched only by the VW Thing.

In 1970 AMC revived the name and manufactured the AMC Hornet to 1977.

But to a teenager in the 50s, the Hudson Hornet was THE cool car.

This has been a great series of great images.
Hudson made some beautiful cars especially the older models.
I remember one of my bosses have a 1952 Hornet, a very nice driving car with a good ride even with a trailer and two big horses behind it.
But it miserable to work on, which happened at least once a month, of all the work I did on it replacing the Fluid Clutch was the worst, it was nasty, stinking job, The clutch disk had a series of 5/8" cork buttons staggered over it's surface and it ran in automatic transmission fluid (talk about a stinking mess) when it burned up which was at least once a year, I changed three in the time I work on the farm. Granted the clutch was abused. However it was the smoothest engaging clutch I have ever driven.

Not bad but for me the coolest was a ‘49 Merc chopped and lowered.

The Jet brings back memories of my first car, a 53 Jet in the same ugly green. Many good time in what we called "The Green Grogan". (Don't ask).

Don’t forget the AMC Pacer, perhaps the ugliest car ever built.
