Hudson
Hudson Motor Car Company was an innovative American automobile manufacturer that played a significant role in the automotive industry from its inception in 1909 until its merger into American Motors Corporation (AMC) in 1954. Hudson was renowned for producing vehicles that combined stylish design, innovation, and luxury, including the famous Hudson Hornet, which dominated early stock car racing in the United States. The company made history with its "step-down" design, which offered a lower center of gravity for improved handling and was revolutionary at the time. Hudson was also known for its strong emphasis on performance and safety features, which set its vehicles apart from competitors. Despite its contributions to automotive design and technology, Hudson merged with Nash-Kelvinator Corporation in 1954 to form AMC, in response to the competitive pressures from larger manufacturers.
