Hudson began production in 1909 by building assembled cars - buying components from various manufacturers and building a car in their factory. Within a few years, they had become a major American manufacturer.

The Hudson Hornet was introduced in 1951. A mechanically-advanced automobile, it offered a streamlined body with a low center of gravity.

The Hornet was equipped with a 308 cubic-inch, six-cylinder engine. Hudson offered special 'severe usage' parts for high performance, making it one of the hottest cars on the road during its time.

Stock car racing was dominated by the Hornet in the early 1950's. This was an incredible feat for Hudson, since the cars contained many luxury features.
