Zoom Classic Cars presents this 1947 Hudson Super Six Pickup. Often referred to as the "Big Boy" pickup this 1947 Farm Truck was built on Hudson's proven passenger car platform, it featured sleek curves, a bold grille, and sturdy construction.

Unlike typical trucks of the time, it offered a more refined ride and stylish looks, making it a standout among post-war pickups. Today, it's a prized find for collectors who appreciate vintage American craftsmanship and originality.
