Vehicle Description
The Hudson Commodore was produced from 1941 through 1952 and was
Hudson's most luxurious model. Post war production of the second
generation Commodore began in August 1945 and was based on earlier
pre-war models. In 1948, Hudson introduced the third generation of
the Commodore. This new model featured a sleek new body silhouette
and was better equipped than most of their competitors with
features like front/rear armrests, dual wipers, sealed beam
headlights, deep pile carpeting and foam rubber seat cushioning.
This solid 1950 Hudson Commodore sedan received a partial exterior
restoration in 2016. It is a virtually complete Commodore - the
hard to find pieces are all there. A single-stage enamel respray of
Bali Blue (believed to be the original color) is accented by a
generous allotment of chrome, rear fender skirts and steel rims
with full factory wire-wheel covers that mount Firestone wide-white
bias tires. The interior needs restoration. Broadcloth seats are
worn and everything needs a little detailing. However the classic
'50s dashboard, with its full compliment of gauges, is still as
stately as it was in 1950 - and as we said before, this car is
virtually complete. This Commodore is powered by Hudson's 202ci
flathead six-cylinder motor rated at 102bhp. These engines were
well known for their durability and low-end torque. The motor is
said to have been rebuilt, starts easily and sounds great. It is
backed by a 3-speed manual transmission with column shift.
Everything under the hood looks very original including the factory
6-volt electrical system. Four-wheel hydraulic drum brakes provide
stopping power. This Hudson Commodore sedan needs only some care
and attention to once again become a classic ride. ALL VEHICLES
