Vehicle Description
GR Auto Gallery is pleased to offer this 1953 Hudson Hornet
Hollywood for your consideration. This spectacular vehicle is
powered by a 308ci 6-cylinder motor which is paired with a 3-speed
manual transmission that sends power to the rear wheels. This car
is equipped with the dealer-installed option of twin-single barrel
carburetors which increased the power to 170 horsepower. While many
luxury cars of the day were starting to be powered by larger V8s,
Hudson designed their 6-cylinder so well that it could hold its own
against the larger engines. The car has overdrive, factory tinted
glass, 4 mint wire caps, new clutch and throw out bearing, new
brakes and hoses all around, rebuilt engine with less than 100
miles, new wiring from under the dash forward from Rhode Island
Wiring, rebuilt starter and generator, new starter solenoid and amp
regulator, freshly re-cored radiator. The gas tank was also cleaned
and given new fuel lines.
Externally the vehicle wears Meadow Green metallic paint which is
complemented by a Honey Cream top. The 1953 model wears plenty of
chrome, and on this example, it shines bright! Hudson utilized a
body-in-frame design that was very complicated to manufacture, but
it allowed for the body to be set lower on the frame thus making
for a super sleek looking vehicle. The sloping lines, plentiful
chrome, and beautiful color make for a truly stunning
automobile.
The unique engineering behind the Hornet also allowed for
significantly better driving characteristics than comparable
vehicles from other luxury brands such as Cadillac. Since the body
sat lower, the vehicle had a lower center of gravity making for
silky smooth handling. The Hornet drove so well that it was an
unstoppable force on the tracks. In the beginning days of NASCAR,
the Hornet just kept winning races.
While there is a lot to say about the engineering and performance
of the Hornet, it shouldn't be forgotten that it is primarily a
luxury vehicle. It features a wonderful vinyl/cloth interior
finished in an elegant shade of green. Like the exterior, the
interior is accented with bright chrome throughout. Now is your
chance to own a classic American luxury automobile that has the
history, reputation, driving characteristics, and style of a true
American classic. Please call or email with any questions or for
