Talk:Hudson

It is said that the 1955 Hudson was actually a re"hashed" 1954 Nash. I have been told that only one panel on the whole 1955 Hudson was lifted from the older Nash, either the deck lid or top. Certainly, some things are definitely different: The roof line at the rear as it joins the body curves back toward the rear on all Hudsons, but is resolutely forward swept on all Nashes from 1952 through 1957. Obviously the front fenders of the Hudson in 1955 are totaly different from the Nashes through 1956 with their large wheel cut outs, though the top of the fenders do resemble the 1954 Nashes. Certainly a lot of the trim like the door handles and name plates are uniquely Hudson from the old days. The 1955 instrument panel is lifted from the 1954 Hudson and "frenched" into the Nash-like dash. The 1955 Hudson's front track is wider than the 1955 Nash's.
