Roman Bronze is a metallic color, offered as an "all-over" single color, or as part of a 2-tone paintjob (either as the body color with a second color for the roof, or vice-versa (numerous Hudson dealers would also paint the lower portion of the body sides in whichever color was used on the roof, probably to help move an otherwise fairly slow-selling car. As for Hudson's 1954 interior colors, I believe they were pretty much the same as for 1953--however, a Google Image Search for "1954 Hudson" should turn up some pictures showing at least some of the interiors. Something to bear in mind, when searching for, looking at images though: I did a quick search earlier, and the only interior shots I could find were mainly convertibles with a few Hollywood hardtops tossed in--no good shots of a Club Coupe, 4dr sedan, or 2dr Club Sedan showed up--what I have found, in chatting with a Hudson enthusiast is that there were 4 interior color combinations for closed body styles: Brown, Grey, Blue and Green--very nearly monotone schemes, with the instrument panel painted to match. All steering wheels were white though. PM me if you have any more questions? Art Edited May 15, 2015 by Art Anderson Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
