Company, or simply Hudson Motors, was founded in 1909 by Joseph L.
Hudson. In the first year, Hudson Motors sold 4,000 oftheir
original four-cylinder models. This represented the highest number
of first year sales of any car company up to that pointand quickly
earned Hudson respect in the American auto market. The first
generation Hudson Super Six also known as the Series H was
introduced in 1916. The Super Six was an early performance car. Its
288.5 cu in inline six-cylinder engine developed 76 hp compared to
the 40 hp of the equally dimensioned engine in the Hudson Model
Six-40. Befor its public debut, Hudson made a series of speed runs
in Super Sixes on a track in New York. This was followed by a new
record setting transcontinental run from San Francisco to New York,
then a stock chassis speed record at Daytona Beach, a record at
Pike's Peak, and a 24 hour stock chassis record. In the 1940 film
"The Grapes of Wrath", the Joad family drives a 1926 Super Six.
That car was found in storage and converted into a Speedster in
2009. As you can see, this 1925 Super Six is not your average
Hudson. After learning of the "Grapes of Wrath" speedster in 2018,
the owner felt the original sedan coachwork of this car was far too
understated for such a wonderful drivetrain. That is when this
custom oak barrel speedster was born. The jet-black paint and oak
wheels work extremely well with the unique interior. And the
legendary and original Hudson Super Six drive train speaks for
itself. You can definitely have fun with it at your local hangout,
parade, or local show. It is a nice buld using quality components
to complement the original ones and professionally built and
trimmed. Gauges on tne interior side of the firewall monitor speed,
oil, and amperage. The soft parts are made of buttoned tufted black
leather and have been scarcely sat on since 2018. The large Beals
and Selkirk Trunk sits behind the rear seat for all your storage
needs. The spare tire sits behind it with a nice "HUDSON 1925"
cover over it. This car is fun and is bound to get the new owner
invited many places to show it off.
