Thanks to new, flatter leaf springs, ride height was lowered, giving the new-for-1935 Hudson models a decidedly sporting look, in addition to their flowing design language. In total, these choice updates encourage automotive historians and collectors to cite 1935 as the debut year of "Modern Hudsons." Adding substance to match their glamorous good looks, mechanical updates for 1935 included the heightened safety of new "Rotary Equalizer" brakes at all four corners and Hudson's new "Axelflex" independent front suspension system. Offered along six model series with available six- or eight-cylinder power, a fast-growing option list, and luxurious interior appointments, the 1934 Hudson lineup debuted to critical acclaim in December 1934. Racing success heightened the excitement, including several new Daytona Beach speed records set for Hudson by Malcolm Campbell of "Bluebird" speed-record fame, plus all-star American drivers including Wilbur Shaw, "Babe" Stapp, and Al Gordon.     One of just 802 examples produced for 1935, this 1935 Hudson Series 53GH Big Six Suburban Sedan is a very fine example of Hudson's quality and advanced design. Readily identifiable by its integrated rear luggage trunk and aerodynamic styling, this Big Six Suburban Sedan received a high-quality and very well-maintained restoration by a Hudson marque specialist prior to its acquisition by a Hudson collector/enthusiast in 2012. Handsomely finished in Green over a luxurious passenger compartment trimmed in Tan cloth upholstery and thoughtfully equipped with rear footrests, this Hudson demonstrates the company's high value proposition. Desirable period accents and accessories include the oval instrument cluster and wood-grained dashboard, winged radiator mascot, fine bright grille elements, twin chrome horn trumpets, body-color steel "Artillery" wheels, chrome-plated hubcaps, Whitewall tires, and restrained, yet striking chrome trim.   If you are looking for a distinctive, rare, and highly capable and comfortable prewar classic, this 1935 Hudson Big Six Series 53GH Suburban Sedan is an ideal buy and a refreshing alternative to its far more common "Big Three" competitors.
