#DiecastInternationalBuilders #HudsonHornet
On the bench today is a Matchbox 1951 Hudson Hornet. What a great era of automotive design, when cars were pieces of art. This is my entry to the Diecast International Builders Cars of the ‘50s invitational.
According to my Wiki research, the Hudson Hornet was manufactured by Hudson Motor Car Company of Detroit, Michigan from 1951 until 1954, when Nash-Kelvinator and Hudson merged to form American Motors Corporation (AMC). Hudson automobiles continued to be marketed under the Hudson brand name through the 1957 model year.
The first-generation Hudson Hornets featured a functional "step-down" design with a dropped floor pan and a chassis with a lower center of gravity than contemporary vehicles that helped the car handle well - an advantage for racing too.
