<strong>General</strong> Information Handbook<br />
for<br />
<strong>Hudson</strong> Built Autombiles<br />
by Alex Burr
Introduction<br />
Why a "<strong>Hudson</strong>, <strong>Essex</strong>, <strong>Terraplane</strong> Handbook"? That question has a few good answers - for example <strong>Hudson</strong> cars are<br />
growing older every year and they are no longer being produced. Those are only a couple of good answers to the reason<br />
for this effort.<br />
But, you may say, this <strong>info</strong>rmation is available already. And this is also true. However, it is not available all in one<br />
publication. And it is, in many cases confusing, contradictory and misleading. Even <strong>Hudson</strong> published sources do not<br />
agree in many instances. There is, for example, one non-<strong>Hudson</strong> listing of American automobile serial numbers that<br />
contains many errors in serial and Model listings. A few years ago a listing of <strong>Hudson</strong> serial numbers that appeared in the<br />
<strong>Hudson</strong> clubs White Triangle News split 1916 assigning the Model 6-40 (G) to 1916 and the Super-Six Model H to 1917<br />
thus offsetting several years following.<br />
So we have put together this "<strong>Hudson</strong>, <strong>Essex</strong> and <strong>Terraplane</strong> Handbook in hopes of providing <strong>Hudson</strong> owners with a<br />
means of identifying their cars and some of the equipment used. It must be realized that lack of time, financial resources<br />
and inability to travel has resulted in a relatively narrow research profile. Even so we have made every effort to ensure<br />
accuracy and within our own fairly extensive literature collection were able to cross-reference much of the material<br />
presented here. We also maintained extensive correspondence with several HET club members who were most helpful.<br />
Now we come to the hard part - we leave the task of pointing out errors to you the reader. We can correct only if you tell<br />
us where the error is. We hope the enclosed <strong>info</strong>rmation will be of some help in the future in preserving, identifying and<br />
restoring the great cars built by the <strong>Hudson</strong> Motor Car Company.<br />

After a number of years of neglect we have once again picked up our <strong>handbook</strong> and are in the process of editing it. Mostly,<br />
at the moment, it remains basically as it was written nearly 15 years ago after some ten years of research.<br />
Mainly we are now involved in inputting this manual into our computer database. This, it is hoped will make it easier to<br />
make changes, if we can find them, and we can supply anyone with a copy now. Though it will take a while to print out.<br />
Or we can supply year pages to those who may want just that.<br />
We are still looking for input towards making corrections and additions (or subtractions). We have found that using<br />
computer internet resources, i.e., the HET club bulletin board, we have already found two possible sources for early data<br />
in the 1909-1925 period. We will be contacting these people in a short while.<br />

<strong>General</strong> Notes for the Original Edition<br />
NOTE 1: For additions and corrections to this Handbook since these notes were published see pages VII and<br />
VIII.<br />
NOTE 2: August 2006 - Access to the Carl Weber collection has given us data such as bulletins giving shipping<br />
weights, accessories and options and other material.<br />
Ia. 1910-1930 - Serial numbers and body styles<br />
< <strong>Hudson</strong> ><br />
There were three major sources, all <strong>Hudson</strong> used for this period to determine serial numbers and body styles:<br />
(1) Reference Sheet # 17 (REV) (MAR 26)<br />
This source, supplied by John Cullity (MA), was copied from a 1926 <strong>Hudson</strong>-<strong>Essex</strong> shop manual. It suffered mainly, in<br />
that there were no dates given after the 1916 <strong>Hudson</strong> 6-40 Model G. This source has caused confusion in other presentations<br />
of <strong>Hudson</strong> serial numbers<br />
(2) 1918 <strong>Hudson</strong> Master Parts Manual<br />
The data contained in this listing, supplied by Earl Huffman (NE), enabled us to better understand source # 1. This 1918<br />
listing, updated to include 1919 and 1920, also supplied some of the right hand drive (RHD) starting serial numbers It also<br />
proved that there were two Models in 1916 - the Model G Six-40 and the Model H Super-Six.<br />
3) Reference Sheet #17 (1930)<br />
This source was supplied by Dave Bullock (NJ). These pages provided data from 1920 to 1930 and was particularly helpful<br />
in that all years were dated.<br />
lb. 1910-1930 - Electrical and fuel system data sources:<br />
1) Electrical system data was obtained from the pages of a 1931 National Automotive Service manual, which covers the<br />
period 1917-1930. Some of the later data was cross-checked with a 1936 Hollanders Interchange manual supplied b, Bill Edgett<br />
(ME).<br />
2) No fuel system data has been found for this period. Information on these carburetors may be obtained from Dyke<br />
Automotive Encyclopedias published during these years. Tho the carburetors were <strong>Hudson</strong> one source lists Zenith for 1916,<br />
Detroit from 1917 through 1922 and Stewart 1923 through 1926. A list is supplied at the end of this note section<br />
IIa. 1930-1950 - Serial numbers and body data<br />
I) For this period four major sources were utilized:<br />
a) 1927-1950 Master Parts Interchange Book<br />
b) 1930-36 <strong>Hudson</strong> Master Body Group Parts Book<br />
c) 1930-39 <strong>Hudson</strong> Master Chassis Group Parts Book<br />
d) 1940-42 <strong>Hudson</strong> Master Group Parts Book<br />
2) Factory prices were obtained from a 1941 Blue Book of Used Car Prices. This booklet was especially helpful i determining<br />
the prices of <strong>Hudson</strong> and <strong>Terraplane</strong> commercial Models. For the 1946-1957 period Krause Publication "Standard Catalog of<br />
American Cars - 1946-1975" was consulted for clarification of body styles and prices found elsewhere.<br />
i
<strong>General</strong> Notes (2) - cont<br />
11b. 1930-1950 - Electrical and fuel system data:<br />
1) Major sources used here were:<br />
a) 1948 Hollanders Interchange Manual<br />
b) 1957 Hollanders Interchange Manual<br />
c) 1959 Motors Flat Rate & Parts book<br />
d) Various <strong>Hudson</strong> parts books<br />
It will be noted that there are gaps in the <strong>info</strong>rmation presented in the early 1930's period. This was due to a loss of notes in<br />
a fire. The data from 1936 to 1947 came mainly from <strong>Hudson</strong> parts books and was cross-checked against a National Service<br />
Data Handbook published during this period. In general we found that the Hollanders Interchange manuals compared quite<br />
accurately with <strong>Hudson</strong> sources, but there were some multiple entries that were confusing.<br />
IIIa. 1950-1957 - Serial number and body data<br />
<strong>Hudson</strong> parts books were the main source during this period. However, Krause Publications "Standard Catalog of American<br />
Cars - 1946-1975" was used quite extensively, particularly for the 1955-1957 period and for data on <strong>Hudson</strong> Ramblers, to verify<br />
and cross-check various listings. The <strong>Hudson</strong> Ramblers were AMC Ramblers with <strong>Hudson</strong> emblems attached as were <strong>Hudson</strong><br />
Metropolitans.<br />
IIIb. 1950-1957 - Electrical and fuel system data<br />
<strong>Hudson</strong> parts books were consulted, mainly a 1948-54 <strong>Hudson</strong> Master Parts Catalog, for the data presented here. For the<br />
1955-57 period most numbers were obtained from the 1957 Hollanders Interchange Manual and 1959 Motors Flat Rate and<br />
Parts Books.<br />
< Additional Sources ><br />
Wayne Graefen (CA) supplied electrical equipment corrections for the 1934-1937 period from a listing previously<br />
published in a National Automotive Service manual of the period. Wayne also provided a serial number listing showing<br />
variations in serial numbers for the 1920-1930 period that was originally published in Don Butlers "History of <strong>Hudson</strong>". He<br />
also provided prices given in the 1932 <strong>Essex</strong>-<strong>Terraplane</strong> listing.<br />
< <strong>Essex</strong> ><br />
1) For sources consult <strong>Hudson</strong> notes section. Various <strong>Essex</strong> parts books for the 1924-1929 period were also utilized, tho<br />
their value is somewhat dubious.<br />
2) The serial number listing presented is mainly taken from the 1930 <strong>Hudson</strong> Reference Sheet #17, with parts books<br />
consulted for cross-reference. It is interesting to note that <strong>Essex</strong> serial numbers agree in nearly 95% of sources checked. The<br />
differences that were found were not considered serious enough to make special notes about.<br />
< <strong>Terraplane</strong> ><br />
1) For sources consult <strong>Hudson</strong> notes section.<br />
2) <strong>Terraplane</strong>, like <strong>Hudson</strong> and <strong>Essex</strong>, serial numbers tend to become consistent from source to source by the 1930's. Again,<br />
as with <strong>Essex</strong>, those differences encountered were minor.<br />
ii
Beginning in 1935 <strong>Hudson</strong> used a numerical system for identifying Models. The first number denoted the year, the second<br />
the actual series (or model). A car with '53' at the beginning of the serial number would be a 1935 ('5') <strong>Hudson</strong> Six ('3'). The<br />
remaining digits denote the actual serial number.<br />
In addition, during the 1930's cars built in <strong>Hudson</strong> Canadian plants were identified with the insertion of the letter ‘C’<br />
between the model/series designator and the actual serial number. Thus a car carrying the serial number ‘62C14133’ would be<br />
a 1936 (‘6’) <strong>Terraplane</strong> Model 62 Custom (‘2’) built in Canada (‘C’).<br />
This system was used until 1950 with the following variations:<br />
a). 1940 Models used the numeral '4' to denote the Year; ie, Model 41, 44, etc;<br />
b). 1946 Models used the numeral '3’ to denote the Year in the serial number, ie, 32 - but used the numeral '5' for the<br />
Model designation as in 51 (1946 Super Six).<br />
c) 1947 Models used the numeral '17’;<br />
d) 1948 used the numerals '48';<br />
e) 1949 used the numerals '49';<br />
f) 1950 used the numerals '50' except for the Model 50A Pacemaker<br />
In the 1948 through 1950 Models a 3rd number was used to designate the Model; thus a Model 481 would be a 1948 ('48')<br />
Super Six ('1’); a Model 503 would be a 1950 Super 8. (See individual year sheets for other numbers).<br />
From 1951 through 1954 a numeric/alpha system was used with 'A' assigned to 1951, 'B' to 1952, 'C' to 1953 and “D” to<br />
1954. A Model '5B' would be a 1952 Wasp while a Model '7C' would be a 1953 Hornet. There were a few 1953 Model '8C'<br />
Commodore 8 cars produced, being left over 1952 Commodore 8's with 1953 grilles, trim and ID plates.<br />

3) Other Notes:<br />
a) Starter/Generator - In the 1916-1922 period <strong>Hudson</strong>, among others, used a 'starter/generator’ unit. This device,<br />
connected to a storage battery, functioned as a starter to start the motor, and then became a generator once the engine was<br />
running.<br />

New Car Registrations ><br />
The following data was obtained from Automotive News (1968) Almanac and is presented here as an indication of<br />
how well <strong>Hudson</strong> produced vehicles sold. It covers the period 1922 through 1957. Car and truck production estimates arc listed<br />
as an interest only.<br />
It will be noted that there were 117 <strong>Hudson</strong> commercial vehicles registered in 1948 - these are presumed to be left over<br />
1947 Models that were sold late in the 1947 season.<br />

1) Model 'M' was introduced Dec. 1, 1917. According to data supplied by Earl Huffman there were Models 5M & 6M. Model<br />
6M apparently introduced Aug. 22, 1918 - no date given for 5M. It is believed that 5M & 6M designations may have been<br />
assigned as price changes were instituted or as some sort of dealer allotment due to steel shortages brought on by WWI.<br />
The following serial numbers have been found:<br />
5M: 4-Dr. Sedan - 75000; Limousine - 80000<br />
6M: Limousine - 82194 to 82445; Town Car Landau - 95000<br />
2) See 'Addendum' for starter/generator <strong>info</strong>rmation and abbreviations.<br />

4) Model M continued as 1919 Model from Dec. 1918 until intro of Model O, May 1919 (Butler, "History of <strong>Hudson</strong>")<br />
5) 1918 <strong>Hudson</strong>’s were produced from Dec. 1, 1917 to May 1919 – became 1919 Model on Dec. 1, 1918<br />

The 1918 Full Folding<br />
This illustration reveals something of the<br />
smartness of the Full Folding Landau.<br />
It presents a new type to America. The demand<br />
for <strong>Hudson</strong> cars abroad is largely responsible<br />
for its design.<br />
Since European motor car manufacturers<br />
have been unable to turn out automobiles, the<br />
demand in the rich and fashionable centers of<br />
South America, in Australia, India and part of<br />
Europe has been filled by a few American<br />
makers. The <strong>Hudson</strong> has taken its place as a<br />
leader of the smart cars in those sections where<br />
before such cars as the Rolls-Royce and Sunbeam<br />
of England, the Peugeot of France and<br />
the Fiat of Italy were the favorites.<br />
To meet that trade we have had to furnish designs in keeping with those of the European production. This explains the origin<br />
of the Full Folding Landau. It also in part accounts for much of the <strong>Hudson</strong> exclusive distinctiveness.<br />
The Full Folding Landau is produced in a very limited quantity for domestic trade. The number available is, in fact, so small<br />
that it partakes of the exclusiveness of a custom built car.<br />
The fittings are in keeping with what may be expected in the most formal limousine. The colors are smart and bright. With the<br />
bright finished leather top, which may be let down on occasion, the leather mud guards and other unconventional details the car<br />
possesses a character that is appealingly distinctive.<br />
The 1918 4-Passenger phaeton<br />
This is a development of one of the most<br />
popular models <strong>Hudson</strong> has ever produced. Last<br />
year we called it the "Speedster" and that name<br />
properly describes it to all who are interested in a<br />
car possessing that quality.<br />
But the name unfortunately seemed to limit the<br />
car to those interested in a fast car.<br />
Everyone is so familiar with just what the<br />
Super-Six can do in that particular that now there<br />
is no need to emphasize speed in any one model.<br />
Any <strong>Hudson</strong>, even the Limousine for that matter,<br />
which in most cars, because of the heavy body is<br />
more or less sluggish, is as lively and speedy as anyone will want.<br />
The Four-Passenger Phaeton is a beautiful, cozy car, as richly finished in its detail as any model in the <strong>Hudson</strong> line. It will<br />
appeal to all who appreciate beauty, comfort and unostentatious luxury.<br />
As for the chassis, experience with the thousands of cars of similar type that we produced last year, is proof of its complete<br />
adequacy.<br />
There is great pleasure in driving a car that takes every road with the smoothness that characterizes the Super-Six<br />
And especially is it important that a car of its type should be capable of performing every service without making its work<br />
obvious to the driver or his passengers. That kind of performance can be relied upon from the Super-Six<br />

1922 Seven-Passenger Phaeton<br />
The body and wheels are finished in a<br />
rich, dark blue with hood, radiator shell,<br />
shutters, fenders and balance of the chassis<br />
in black. The upholstery is of heavy handbuffed<br />
leather, pleated over deep cushion<br />
springs. The seats are wide and are placed at<br />
restful angles. The front seat measures 44½<br />
inches and the rear seat 45½ inches. This,<br />
with the special attention given to the design<br />
of the two folding auxiliary seats, gives<br />
comfortable seating to all seven passengers.<br />
Gypsy curtains with glass rear light are standard<br />
equipment on both phaetons.<br />
1922 Four-Passenger Phaeton<br />
Except for body lines and seating capacity the four passenger<br />
phaeton is similar to the seven-passenger model in construction,<br />
upholstery, and finish. Typical of all <strong>Hudson</strong> models,<br />
the deeply cushioned seats are both roomy and designed<br />
on the proper angles to give restful comfort during long<br />
drives. The rear seat is 41 inches wide, and the front seat<br />
slightly wider 42½ inches giving driver full freedom at<br />
wheel. <strong>Hudson</strong> style leadership is here again exemplified<br />
with this Super-Six model which is accepted as the standard<br />
for open cars seating four.<br />

4) The 1929 <strong>Hudson</strong> Model R used Biddle & Smart bodies for two styles and other styles were general production. The<br />
Landau Sedan and Victoria were put on the shorter Model R chassis. <strong>Hudson</strong> made two of the five L-series - the 7-passenger<br />
sedan and 7-Passenger Phaeton. Biddle & Smart made the Victoria, the Landau Sedan and the dual cowl Sport Phaetons. In<br />
addition to the two Biddle & Smart-built R-series models, Briggs produced three and <strong>Hudson</strong> built the remaining five body<br />
styles.<br />
Exact production figures for Biddle & Smart long-wheelbase 1929 bodies have so far been elusive, but estimates range<br />
up to about 800 Model L bodies, with possibly 300 of them the dual cowl Sport Phaetons.<br />

NOTES: - Cont’d<br />
1929 Model R <strong>Hudson</strong>’s came as coupes, sedans, convertibles, and a Briggs-built five-passenger phaeton in addition to the<br />
entry-level coach. The Murphy-designed Victoria and Landau Sedan were added to the short-wheelbase line as well. The other<br />
Murphy designed cars, the seven-passenger sedan, seven-passenger limo, and <strong>Club</strong> Sedan were built by Biddle & Smart for the<br />
139-inch chassis, as were the featured Sport Phaeton and a seven-passenger phaeton of much more pedestrian design and lacking<br />
the dual cowl feature.<br />

Continuing from previous years <strong>Hudson</strong><br />
offered two lines of pickups. The bottom line,<br />
Series 10C, featured a rather anemic 175 cid<br />
six cylinder engine brought forward from the<br />
112 series cars, tho could be ordered with the<br />
larger 212 cid six.<br />
The truck was rated at 1/2 ton on a 116<br />
inch wb. It weighed 2,910 pounds and sold for<br />
$687. The larger 18C Big Boy Cab pickup<br />
came on a 128 inch wb, featured the 3 x 5 212<br />
cid 6 Cyl., weighed 3,050 pounds and cost<br />
$775. For those who wished to supply their<br />
own body a chassis with cab was offered at<br />
$736.<br />
1942 <strong>Hudson</strong> 8-Pass. Station Wagon<br />

This 1949 <strong>Hudson</strong> Limousine, featuring a<br />
custom Derham body, belonged to Mrs. Roy Chapin.<br />
Basically the body and drive train were stock,<br />
the leather top being made by Derham.<br />
It is currently (2009) owned by Ed Souers<br />
1949 - <strong>Hudson</strong>’s 40th Anniversary. The<br />
company would not survive the sales wars of the<br />
1950’s to celebrate it’s 50th anniversary.<br />
Offered in no less than 8 standard, four special and four 2-tone<br />
body colors these models also featured a power top in maroon,<br />
black or tan and electric/hydraulic power windows. The car<br />
weighed in at 3,865 pounds and cost $2,893. The Custom<br />
Commodore Six was similar but weighed 3,840 pounds and<br />
cost only $2,809. Super-Six and Pacemaker convertibles also<br />
offered power windows as an option. (Photo from Carl Weber<br />
Collection.)<br />

1924 <strong>Essex</strong> Series B - 2-Pass. Special Roadster<br />
This was a special <strong>Essex</strong> six cylinder built for Roscoe B. Jackson. 1924 saw the last of the <strong>Essex</strong> 4 cylinder<br />
cars and the intro of a 6 cylinder model with a bore and stroke of 2-5/8 x 4" for 129.8 CID. This engine would<br />
be bored and stroked over the years finally evolving into the 3 x 5" 212 CID motor used thru the 1947 models.<br />
However, as designed, it was found the new <strong>Essex</strong> 6 was sadly deficient in power and stamina and at 2nd<br />
series serial number 152465 an improved version with a bore and stroke of 2-11/16 x 4-1/4" for 144.5 CID was<br />
introduced.<br />
Serial numbers for the Model A four cylinder cars started at 100001 and for the six cylinder at 100000.<br />
Second series 6's came out on Jun 23, 1924 with serial numbers 144376 to 178366.<br />

1929 Dover<br />
The 1929 Dover could be called the 'Commercial <strong>Essex</strong>' since it was built on the 1929 <strong>Essex</strong> chassis. Research has been<br />
unable to determine if components used on the Dover commercial models were the same as <strong>Essex</strong> cars - it is assumed that<br />
they were. Therefore only body styles are presented here.<br />

Notes<br />
1) Body supplier: Biddle & Smart - Sun Sedan, 5-Pass. Phaeton, 4-Pass RS Roadster<br />
2) Dover name dropped in 1930. No models known to exist though some <strong>Hudson</strong> parts<br />
books do list a Dover Phaeton.<br />
3) Introduced Jan. 1930<br />
4) Grafen lisiting: s/n 1217647 to 1234266 - 1st Series (Start Jan. 1, 1930 - Branhams)<br />
s/n 1234267 to 1281684 - 2nd Series (Unknown start date)<br />
NOTE: Grafen’s listing for 1st Series overlaps from 1929 2nd Series. Butlers “History of <strong>Hudson</strong>”<br />
presents the same numbering system. <strong>Hudson</strong>’s 1950 Numerical Parts Interchangeabilty Record<br />
(1927-1950) gives the same starting number, 1,164,674 for 1929 and 1930, but a 1935 Numerical<br />
Parts Price List gives 928,656 for 1929 and 1,165.674 for 1930.<br />
1936 NADA price book list start serial number as 1165674 as does Branhams.<br />
- 27 -<br />
(Cont’d page 29)
Export “Depot Car”<br />
No <strong>info</strong>rmation on this body style has been<br />
uncovered, so far. Even Butlers “History of<br />
<strong>Hudson</strong>” has no <strong>info</strong>rmation. There is the<br />
possibility it was made by Cantrell, a Long<br />
Island, NY, body maker. There is a photo of a<br />
1934 <strong>Terraplane</strong> station wagon with a body<br />
made by this body builder.<br />
Cantrell bodies could be found on many different<br />
makes such as Buick, Cadillac, Chevrolet,<br />
Chrysler, DeSoto, <strong>Essex</strong>, Franklin, GMC, Graham-<br />
Paige, <strong>Hudson</strong>, International, LaSalle, Nash,<br />
Packard, Pierce-Arrow, Plymouth, Rolls-Royce,<br />
Studebaker, <strong>Terraplane</strong>, Willys and Wolverine<br />
chassis from the teens through the fifties.<br />
Another example of an <strong>Essex</strong> custom<br />
body. This may, however, be a<br />
Dover. Research has found nothing<br />
on the Fisk Allen Company that built<br />
it.<br />
It is most likely this was a contract<br />
job - either from a dealer in the area or<br />
a customer who wanted a specialized<br />
body.<br />
Custom bodies, such as this and<br />
the example above, were quite common<br />
in the 1920’s and even into the<br />
30’s. Most were built for the “upper”<br />
class in such up-scale neighborhoods<br />
as were found on Long Island, NY,<br />
the North Shore of Massachusetts<br />
and others.<br />
1930<br />
<strong>Essex</strong> Challenger Six Sedan, with<br />
58 hp output and 113-in. wheelbase,<br />
weighed 2,805 pounds. sold 68,593 units<br />
at $795, with wire wheels extra.<br />

1933 <strong>Essex</strong>-<strong>Terraplane</strong> Series K - Panel Delivery<br />
Shown in Butler's "History of <strong>Hudson</strong>" is this 1933<br />
<strong>Essex</strong>-<strong>Terraplane</strong> Standard Panel Delivery. Though a<br />
Factory List offering, this model appears to have been<br />
custom built to customer specification; in this case<br />
possibly Breamer Sales Corp., whose logo appears on<br />
the side just to the rear of the door.<br />
Featured were a sliding side door fitted with a<br />
divided side window, half of which was moveable to<br />
provide ventilation and a high roof line which allowed<br />
verticle load spacing. The panel deliveries<br />
weighed in at 2,610 pounds and cost $530.<br />
It was produced on the standard Series K 106 inch<br />
wheelbase. Though these models are shown as <strong>Essex</strong>-<br />
<strong>Terraplane</strong> in 1933 the astute viewer will note the<br />
hubcaps say <strong>Terraplane</strong> 6<br />

1933 <strong>Essex</strong>-<strong>Terraplane</strong> Six<br />
Special Convertible Coupe - with Rumble Seat<br />
1933 was the only year for an <strong>Essex</strong>, or<br />
<strong>Terraplane</strong>, 8 cylinder motor. An inline 8 it<br />
had the same bore of 2-15/16" as the six,<br />
but had a stroke of 4-1/2" giving 243 CID.<br />
With shipping weights of around 2500 to<br />
2700 pounds, this produced a light and<br />
lively little automobile and with a price<br />
range from $585 to $695 gave good value<br />
also.<br />
A total of 38,150 <strong>Essex</strong>-<strong>Terraplane</strong>’s,<br />
both 6's and 8's, were shipped in 1933<br />

1933 <strong>Essex</strong>-<strong>Terraplane</strong> Series K -<br />
Panel Delivery<br />
Another 1933 Panel Delivery van, this<br />
one being operated by Seneca Corp., according<br />
to the logo on the panel just behind the<br />
door.<br />
According to Butler this model utilized<br />
<strong>Terraplane</strong> sedan front doors and cowl while<br />
the windshield header retained the visor from<br />
1932.<br />
Though this model was shown in sales<br />
literature it does not appear in price and<br />
weight listings. Given the lower roof line it<br />
was not very useful for vertical loads, but<br />
would have been very suitable for other specialized<br />
delivery requirements, such as caterers<br />
and florist deliveries.<br />
1935 <strong>Terraplane</strong> Series 51 G - Panel Delivery<br />
The 1934-1935 <strong>Hudson</strong>’s and <strong>Terraplane</strong>’s are<br />
considered by many to be the most beautiful of all<br />
cars built by <strong>Hudson</strong>.<br />
The gently flowing lines can be seen here on this<br />
Sedan Panel Delivery. Floor dimensions for cargo<br />
were 72 inches long x 50 inches high. It was built<br />
on the Series 51 G chassis of 112 inch wheelbase<br />
and weighed in at 2900 pounds. Carrying capacity<br />
was 1500 pounds and it cost $675.<br />

The weights given above do not include front or rear bumpers or spare tire and tube, therefore,<br />
when computing the complete weight of the vehicle, add to the above figures 68 pounds to cover these<br />
items on the 90, 92 and 98 series and 17 pounds for the 93, 95 and 97 series.<br />
When the curb weight is desired add 109 pounds additional to cover gasoline, water and oil for<br />
the 90 series cars excepting the Cab Pick-up, Panel Delivery and Station Wagon models. For these<br />
Business Cars and for all 92, 93 and 98 models the extra weight amounts to 132 pounds and in the case<br />
of the 95 and 97 models, 150 pounds.<br />
The system of numbering 1939 <strong>Hudson</strong> models is the same as used previously; namely, the<br />
first digit of the car serial number is the digit “9”' indicating 1939 production. The second digit of each<br />
serial number will be “0” to “8” inclusive, which will designate the various series in the same order as<br />
listed above. The first two digits will not be separated by a dash in listing the car serial number but will<br />
be part of the complete number.<br />
The car serial number is stamped on a plate attached to the right front door hinge pillar post.<br />
The engine number which is the same as the car number, is stamped on the top of the cylinder block<br />
between Numbers 1 and 2 exhaust manifold flanges.<br />

In computing the curb weight., the weight of the water, gasoline and oil will have to be added. For the Jet,<br />
Super Jet and Jet Liner Models, this amounts to 43 pounds with one gallon of gasoline and 138 pounds with<br />
a full tank. For the Wasp, Super Wasp and Hornet Models, the weights are 58 pounds with one gallon of<br />
gasoline and 174 pounds, with a full tank.<br />
In the car numbering system adopted for the 1954 <strong>Hudson</strong> models, the car number consists of seven<br />
figures in which the digit at the left (1, 2, 3, 4, 5 or 7) represents the series designation (Jet, Super Jet, Jet<br />
Liner, Wasp, Super Wasp or Hornet) and the remaining six figures, the actual car number. For example: in<br />
the number 5269069, the first digit indicates the car to be a Super Wasp,<br />
The starting car number is 269060 and all cars are numbered in consecutive order regardless of series or<br />
model. The number is stamped on the metal plate affixed to the right front door hinge pillar and also on the<br />
top of the right frame side rail approximately in line with the dash panel.<br />
The engine number is the same as the car number and is stamped vertically on the right side of the cylinder<br />
block at the tipper front end on Wasp, Super Wasp and Hornet Models and on the front face of the cylinder<br />
block at the upper right corner on Jet, Super Jet and Jet Liner Models.<br />
In addition to the car number and model designation., the hinge pillar plate is stamped to indicate the paint<br />
color and trim.<br />
