For Sale: 1947 Hudson Commodore in Kentwood, Michigan

GR Auto Gallery is excited to present this stunning 1947 Hudson Commodore Eight Convertible finished in deep Black with red steel wheels accented by chrome hub caps and brilliant exterior brightwork. The Hudson's sweeping lines, wide chrome bumpers, and tasteful trim capture the elegance of the late 1940s, a time when design emphasized both sophistication and strength. The black convertible top with its matching boot complements the car perfectly, completing the look of a timeless American classic built for cruising in style.

Power comes from Hudson's smooth and reliable 254 cubic-inch inline-eight engine, paired with a 3-speed manual transmission that delivers a wonderfully direct and engaging driving experience. The recent tune-up ensures that this Commodore fires up effortlessly, aided by its push-button start and rebuilt generator. The addition of a new electric fuel pump provides modern reliability while maintaining period-correct operation. It rides on new radial tires and benefits from fresh brakes and wheel cylinders, allowing this postwar cruiser to drive with confidence and composure on today's roads.

Inside, the Commodore's cabin showcases true craftsmanship from an era that valued comfort and style in equal measure. The blue leather front and rear bench seats are soft and inviting, surrounded by beautiful woodgrain dash trim that gives the interior a warm, classic feel. All gauges are in working order, and even the original AM radio remains in place to preserve the authentic mid-century experience. The manual crank windows, chrome interior accents, and the simple elegance of the steering wheel all contribute to the Hudson's unmistakable charm.

This particular example remains largely original, still wearing its factory paint, a remarkable testament to how well it has been cared for over the decades. With a new convertible top, refreshed suspension with new rear shocks, and its gleaming stainless trim, this Commodore Eight stands tall as one of the finest surviving examples of Hudson's flagship from the postwar period. Solid underneath and mechanically sorted, it's ready for parades, car shows, or leisurely Sunday drives with the top down.
