Hudson
The year was 1909 when it seems a few car companies were getting started. It was time for Hudson to take it's turn at manufacturing an automobile Locating in Detroit Michigan, the Hudson name would last until 1957. Hudson merged with Nash-Kelvinator Corporation to form American Motors in 1954.
In 1914 Hudsons were made as a lefthand drive. They had many firsts in the industry for instance Dual Brakes, instruments on the Dashboard for Oil Pressure and a Generator Warning Light. They also had the first Balance Crankshaft which helped them to have the Super Six Engine that worked at a higher RPM than normal.
In July of 1926 their new body plant was ready where they could manufacture the bodies for both the Hudson and the Essex Models.
