Hudson Motor Car Co.
Active: 1909-1954
Based: Detroit, Mich.
Notable models: Hudson Eight Convertible Coupé, Hudson Country Club Six Series 93 Convertible Coupé
In 1925, Hudson was the third-largest carmaker in the U.S. after Ford Motor Co. and Chevrolet. It had factories in the U.S., Britain, and Belgium, and became known for both the handsomeness of its cars as well as the innovation of its engineers. Like many car companies it was ordered by the U.S. government to suspend the manufacture of cars for personal use and devote itself to the war effort. But by now it had slipped in size and lacked the funds of the Ford, GM, and Chrysler, and couldn’t make it on its own. In 1954 it merged with Nash-Kelvinator to form American Motors Corp.
