The 1915 Hudson models were distinguished by careful refinements, the most visual was the honey-comb type radiators. Two body styles were available, the Model 6-40 and the Model 6-54. Powering the Six-40 was an inline six-cylinder engine displacing 288.5 cubic inches and offering nearly 30 horsepower. The Model Six-54 was powered by a 421 cubic-inch engine developing 55 horsepower. The six-cylinder engine had become a staple of Hudson production, and while the 1913 Hudson was available with either a four- or six-cylinder powerplant, the 1914 Hudson was exclusively a six-cylinder model. Although the 1914 Hudson six-cylinder engine, which replaced the four-cylinder units were larger, its price tag was actually less. Visual changes for 1914 included enclosed hinges and a reshaped radiator.
