The Hudson Commodore series was introduced in 1948 and featured their 'step-down' design, which involved mounting the floor of the car to the underneath of the chassis, allowing for a very low center of gravity and plenty of interior space. Powering the top-of-the-line convertible brougham was a 254 cubic-inch, inline eight-cylinder engine. Just 596 examples of the Commodore Convertible Broughams would be built for the 1949 model year.
This particular example has been completely restored and finished in Cornish Cream over a burgundy leather interior and has a black convertible top. The eight-cylinder engine is mated to a three-speed transmission. At all four corners are hydraulic drum brakes.By Daniel Vaughan | Nov 2014
