1952 Hudson Hornet Navigation
This Hudson Hornet Sedan was one part of the Brooks Stevens Automotive Museum of Mequon, Wisconsin. Mr. Stevens was one of the most influential and versatile American designers of the 20th century. His work spanned from refrigerators to automobiles.
In the early 1990s, Southern California collector Larry Harvey purchased this Hornet from the Brooks Stevens Automotive Museum. At the time of purchase, the car had only 18,000 original miles on the odometer. Mr. Harvey commissioned a professional, sympathetic restoration.
The car is powered by a 308 cubic-inch L-head 6-cylinder engine with two Downdraft Carter carburetors offering 160 horsepower. There is a three-speed manual gearbox with overdrive and four-wheel Hydraulic Drum brakes.
In 2012, the car was offered for sale at the Pebble Beach auction presented by Gooding & Company. The car was estimated to sell for $50,000 - $70,000 and was offered without reserve. As bidding came to a close, the car had been sold for $178,750 inclusive of the buyer's premium.By Daniel Vaughan | Nov 2012
