Powered by the legendary 308 ci “Twin H-Power” (introduced late in ’51) inline-6 with dual single-barrel carbs, putting out 145 hp and massive low-end torque through a 3-speed manual with overdrive or a Hydra-Matic automatic.

Built on Hudson’s revolutionary “Step-Down” unibody frame, dropping the floorpan between the chassis rails for an ultra-low center of gravity, wrapped in sleek pontoon fenders, heavy chrome grilles, and a drop-top canvas roof.
