1951 Hudson Hornet Series 7A Navigation
This 1951 Hudson Hornet two-door coupe is equipped with a 308 cubic-inch L-head inline six-cylinder engine with twin Carter WA-1 carburetors and develops 160 horsepower at 3,800 RPM. There is a three-speed manual gearbox and four-wheel hydraulic drum brakes with mechanical backup.
After the current caretaker acquired this Hudson in 2002, it was treated to a restoration in the styling of Disney/Pixar's Doc Hudson (from the 2006 animated feature film, Cars). Its livery combined the 'Fabulous' moniker used by Hudson's factory-sponsored stock car racing team of the early 1950s with details from Doc's cinematic backstory as a three-time Piston Cup Champion.
This Hudson was used as a promotion vehicle for the original Cars film, as well as subsequent films in the franchise. It has attended numerous Disney•Pixar Cars film premieres and events.By Daniel Vaughan | Nov 2022
