Description : Gateway Classic Cars of Chicago is proud to present this rare 1953 Hudson Hornet. Under the hood sits an inline-6 cylinder engine displacing 308 cubic inches paired to a 4-speed automatic transmission. The vehicle was brought to the midwest from Arizona roughly 5 years ago. Although it still possesses the classic styling from a Hudson, a number of changes have been made to improve the drivability of this classic. An electric fuel pump was added to eliminate hard starts, LED reverse lights were wired, as well as a backup camera, and a second battery was fitted to help operate the additional equipment. The Hornet was a huge step forward in automobiles, as it was one of the first cars to have a floor that stepped "down" into the car, which improved handling characteristics greatly. The effects of this can be seen in the way Hudson dominated the stock car series in the early 50s. This classic is sure to keep you smiling. don't miss this stock car legend get away!

About Hudson
Buckle up, folks, because we're about to take a thrilling ride through the incredible history of Hudson, the American automaker that roared through the golden age of cars with style, innovation, and a whole lot of spirit!
Born in the USA:
Hudson was as American as apple pie and jazz music. It rolled onto the scene in the early 1900s, right when the automobile industry was hitting its stride. From the start, Hudson was all about making cars for the everyday American, and boy, did they do it with flair!
Step On It!
Hudson was known for its performance. The Terraplane, introduced in the 1930s, became a legend for its speed and reliability. It was the kind of car that could outrun anything on the road and still have room for a family picnic in the back.
Innovators Extraordinaire:
Hudson wasn't content with just being fast; they wanted to be first. They introduced the "step-down" design in the late 1940s, making their cars lower and sleeker for better handling. It was a game-changer in the automotive world and set the bar for everyone else.
Racing Legends:
Hudson wasn't just about making cars for the street; they wanted to dominate the racetrack too. They stormed into NASCAR and became legendary for their racing successes. Drivers like Marshall Teague tore up the track, making Hudson a force to be reckoned with.
The Hudson Hornet:
When we talk about Hudson, we can't forget the Hudson Hornet. It was a true icon of the 1950s, winning countless races and stealing the hearts of car enthusiasts everywhere. That sleek, low-slung design and the unmistakable hornet emblem made it an instant classic.
End of the Road:
Unfortunately, all good things must come to an end. Hudson merged with Nash-Kelvinator in the 1950s to form American Motors Corporation (AMC). While it marked the end of the Hudson brand, its legacy lives on in the hearts of those who remember the "Fabulous Hudson Hornet" and the roaring spirit of a true American automaker.
So, there you have it, the incredible journey of Hudson, the American underdog that roared through the automotive world with style, innovation, and a whole lot of high-spirited determination. Cheers to Hudson, a name that will forever be etched in the annals of automotive history!
