During its time in production, the Commodore was the largest and most luxurious Hudson model.""Commodore series was Hudson's largest model range in its debut year, consisting of sedans, coupes and convertibles. Hudson used a forward hinged hood that opened from the rear by the windshield with the front end of the hood sliding downward over the grille. Elements of the interior and exterior were styled by Betty Thatcher, 'the first woman designer to be employed by a car manufacturer'.""For 1949, the Commodore line was enlarged to include more luxurious Custom models. As a marketing promotion, Hudson had plastic specialists use scaled-down blueprints to develop transparent models of the Commodore Eight sedan to demonstrate and promote the design and construction of the cars."American Dream Machines At American Dream Machines, we typically have over 100 quality classic cars and trucks in stock and for sale.
