 |  |  | Custom Roadster Coachwork: Murphy |
No car in the 1927 Hudson line-up looked sportier than the Super Six Custom roadster, which sold new for $1500. It is believed this roadster body was designed and built by the Walter M. Murphy Co. of Pasadena, California.
The engine used for all Hudson six cylinder cars in 1929 was an F-head, inline six that displaced 288.5 cubic-inches and developed 92 horsepower. Wheelbase is 127.7 inches.
For 1927, Hudson made significant updates to their vehicle lineup. The Model S vehicles rested on a 118 inch wheelbase while the Model O cars retained their 127-3/8 platforms. Power was from a six-cylinder engine with an F-head design. The 288 cubic-inch unit developed 92 horsepower. The cars had 18-inch wheels, four wheel brakes, and a revised rear suspension. Styling updates include da higher radiator-hood line and fenders, headlamps were bullet shaped and had a four-inch reduction in height. New exterior colors were offered.
The 1927 Hudsons also received a single-plate clutch as a replacement for the older multi-disc unit.
The Model O came in Standard and Custom body styles with the customs bodied by Biddle & Smart. 2- and 4-door sedans, roadsters, phaeton, and Brougham body styles were all available.
For 1927, Hudson built just over 66,000 vehicles.
