1953 Hudson Hornet with Twin H Power

1953 Hudson Hornet 4 door sedan, Twin-H-Power 308 six cylinder motor, Hydra-Matic automatic transmission. It was restored about 6 years ago, new paint, new interior, rebuilt motor and transmission, rebuilt original Hudson radio, brakes, tires, nice chrome, stainless trim and glass, solid body, runs strong and smooth. This car will cruise at 70 all day no problems.

With the lowest center of gravity of any American production car of the time, they were dubbed the “step-down” Hudson’s because, when entering, one stepped down into them, rather than up. They embodied Hudson’s mono-built body-and-frame construction, had the engine and seats more forward (the rear seat was ahead of the rear wheels), and the floor level was nearly as low as the bottom of the main frame side rails (permitting seats to be based low and between the rails). They were 6 to 7 inches lower than the 1949 Chrysler and Buick. This gave them great handling compared to other makes and the high torque dual carbureted 308 cubic inch six allowed the Hudson design to dominate NASCAR and AAA stock car races in the early 1950’s.
