Vehicle Description
GR Auto Gallery is pleased to present this 1950 Hudson Commodore 8
for purchase. Hudson's were made in Detroit until 1954, when they
merged with Nash-Kelvinator to create American Motors (AMC). The
Commodore was produced from 1941 to 1952 (sans war years). The
Commodore was the largest and most luxurious Hudson model. The
Commodore is also lauded for being a creative product of Betty
Thatcher, the first female designer employed by a car manufacturer.
In 1948, the Commodore was one of the first new design cars
post-WWII. With an encircling frame, passengers lowered themselves
to enter the vehicle. This design became known as a "step-down"
separated itself from other contemporary cars. The surrounding
frame also improved safety and performance, as Hudson dominated
NASCAR from 1951-1954. Today, the rarity of finding a Hudson
immediately turns heads with its bold sloping lines and
over-abundant amount of chrome.
This '50 Hudson Commodore 8 Sedan is a really good example restored
and maintained to mostly stock specifications. It's two-tone Red
paint shows really well. The interior and headliner appear in
excellent shape with the wood-trim showing really well helping the
classic and unique look and feel for the high luxury of the time.
This car is powered by the 254ci inline 8-cylinder engine paired
with the 3-speed column shift manual transmission with overdrive.
This car uses the 6-volt system with a new period correct wiring
system. This is an impressive Commodore 8 which is a rarely found
classic in such stock and excellent condition. It's a great smooth
drive that is also sure to turn heads and fun to show off! Please
call or email for more details!
