The Hudson Series T, also known as the Greater Eight, rode on a wheelbase size that measured 119 inches for 1931. They received minor styling changes over the prior year, with the grille inserts, headlights, and fenders being one of the more visual and modern changes. The bumpers, hubcaps, running boards, and much of the exterior hardware were restyled for 1931.

Auction entries : 1Hudson had earned a reputation for being the 'World's Largest Builder of Six-Cylinder Cars.' This reputation began in 1913 and would continue for the following two decades. By the late 1920s, the cylinder wars had escalated, and Hudson was in need of change. For 1930, Hudson readied a straight eight. It was derived from the companion make Essex Six, and was smaller in displacement and down on power than the old Super Six. Its main advantage was being 500 pounds lighter, which gave it better performance than the unit it replaced.By the start of the 1930s, Essex and Hudson were sharing bodies. Essex had offered boattails in 1927 and 1929 and again in 1931. The boattails were built by Murray. There were so few boattail bodies that bore the Hudson name that they did not even make the sales literature.
