The 1937 Hudson Custom Eight (Series 75 and Series 77) were identical to the Deluxe Eight models on the outside. The interiors, however, were different. The Custom Eight had knobby twist upholstery and several standard features, including an electric clock, cigarette lighter, and a radio. Two wheelbases were available, including a 122-inch platform and a longer 129-inch wheelbase. The larger wheelbase was reserved for the Close-Coupled Sedan and the Close-Coupled Touring Sedan.
