Autoquiz #653 - Finished

[carsntrucks4you]

This time I was looking for a different Hudson. Most of answered Hudson Hornet or Hudson "Commodore" (which named Commodore Six or Commodore Eight but never Commodore), no it is the 5" shorter 1952 Hudson Wasp. The difference can be seen at the front fender which is shorter than on the Hornet. Another difference is the engine. Standard was the 232 cui L-Head I6 engine, while the Hornet had the  308 cui L-Head I6.

I must admit, before this, I'd only ever heard of the Hornet. But my research took me to a 1952 Hudson brochure, and I was amazed by how many different cars were in the model line up. I can see that the economics of having that many different products to manage must have been pretty challenging. From the consumer point of view it must have been pretty confusing, especially since as I'm sure we all proved attempting this quiz, they don't really look that different!

best,

M.
