Classic Hudson Cars — Racing Heritage and Innovation

Hudson Motor Car Company, founded in 1909 in Detroit, earned a reputation for engineering innovation and racing success. Hudson's "step-down" design of the late 1940s lowered the center of gravity and gave the brand a dominant edge in early NASCAR racing.
