HUDSON WAS
ITERE IT is, the fabulous Hudson Hornet
for 1953-luxurious new version of the
car that won 44 out of 52 stock-car races in
1952, a record unequalled by any other make.
See the Hudson Hornet's interior color har-
mony in your choice of two ensembles to
complement exterior car colors. See and try
new foam rubber seat cushions with bolstered
and rolled-edge contours for more comfort.
See the rich nylon interior fabrics.
And try the 1953 Hudsons on the highway!
Feel them hug the road: the result of exclu-
sive "step-down" design and the lowest
center of gravity in any Canadian or Ameri-
can earl
For 1953-there are two great, lower-priced
running mates to the Hudson Hornet-the
now Hudson Super Wasp and Hudson Wasp.
The Super Wasp has a high-compression
H-127 engine and smart new interiors; and
the even lower-priced Hudson Wasp features
a powerful H-112 engine.
Standard trim and other specifications and accessories subject to change without notice.
