1942 Hudson Commodore
1942 Hudson Commodore Navigation
The 1942 Hudson models were extensively updated when compared to their 1941 siblings. These last of the prewar Hudson models were given a more flowing, graceful appearance and rested 1.5 inches lower. The lower bodywork was flared out at the bottom to conceal the running boards, and in the front was a new grille design wrapped around the front fenders. The rear fenders were now skirted. The overall length grew slightly due to the large front and rear bumpers and guards. There were also chrome strips running below the bottoms of the doors.
