Name this car.

The Hudson Hornet is in the picture. This well-known car with unique design, streamlined styling and silky handling was produced in Detroit and Kenosha between 1951 and 1957. Hudson was a proud name in North American automobiles for almost 50 years.

The first-generation Hudson Hornets featured a functional "step-down" design with dropped floorpan and a chassis with a lower center of gravity than contemporary vehicles that helped the car handle well – a bonus for racing. Actually, Hudson's handling was considered to be the best of any American car of those times.

Cindie J. Gonzales, Yep, old Doc, easy to spot him, that's how I did it too. The explanation also certifies Doc's reputation as fast and great handling.

In 1955 my father owned a Hudson Hornet. It was a great car for a family with 4 kids. Lots of room. It was driven San Francisco, shipped to Okinawa, returned to the USA 2 years later and drove us back to Missouri and Ft. Leavenworth, Kansas in 1959. It was the first car that I drove as a teenager. Loved that car!
