1950 Hudson - Commodore

Product Details

Hudson's were made in Detroit until 1954, when they merged with Nash-Kelvinator to create American Motors ( AMC ). The Commodore was produced from 1941 to 1952 (sans war years). The Commodore was the largest and most luxurious Hudson model. The Commodore is also lauded for being a creative product of Betty Thatcher, the first female designer employed by a car manufacturer. In 1948, the Commodore was one of the first new design cars post- WWII . With an encircling frame, passengers lowered themselves to enter the vehicle. This design became known as a “step-down” separated itself from other contemporary cars. The surrounding frame also improved safety and performance, as Hudson dominated NASCAR from 1951-1954. Today, the rarity of finding a Hudson immediately turns heads with its bold sloping lines and over-abundant amount of chrome. This '50 Hudson Commodore 8 Sedan is a really good example restored and maintained to mostly stock specifications. It's two-tone Red paint shows really well. The interior and headliner appear in excellent shape with the wood-trim showing really well helping the classic and unique look and feel for the high luxury of the time. This car is powered by the 254ci inline 8-cylinder engine paired with the 3-speed column shift manual transmission with overdrive. This car uses the 6-volt system with a new period correct wiring system. This is an impressive Commodore 8 which is a rarely found classic in such stock and excellent condition. It's a great smooth drive that is also sure to turn heads and fun to show off!
