MotoeXotica is proud to present 1949 Hudson Super 6 four door sedan. Hudson became known for their innovative sleek fastback design built using their new “Monobilt” frame; which eliminated any need for rear wheel arches and provided a flat floor for passengers. The new frame allowed the designers to achieve their trademark sleek fastback design without compromising headroom, with the additional benefit of being a safer compartment for passengers.
This beautiful two-tone blue Hudson Super 6 is in decent condition. The previous owner stated the rocker panels had been repaired and repainted, however the body appears to be original. Two-tone blue paint is striking on the long sleek bodywork. Overall the body on this classic Hudson is very good and shows nicely, however upon close inspection the paint is the average driver quality.
We are selling this for a local older gentlemen. On the way driving the Hudson to our facility, the car overheated and now needs mechanical repairs. Please contact us if you have specific questions on the mechanical condition.
The interior is a fantastic blend of patina and minor upgrades, the dash board and interior accessories appear to be original and have a remarkable patina. Still in operating condition the original oversize gauges add the authenticity to this Hudson. The previous owner had the original tube radio refurbished with modern components and now has the ability to be compatible with Bluetooth audio. Finally both bench seats have been recovered in a period correct material and look great. Some new work included, but was not limited to: fuel pump, fuel filter, tank removed and sealed, new window switches, a complete wiring harness (new in box), 4 Coker wide white wall tires, refurbished radio, water pump, pulleys, and much more!
Paperwork indicates that the fuel tank and system were repaired and improved; along with all four drum brakes too.
GET OUT AND DRIVE!!!

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!
