1941 Hudson Commodore Eight

The 1941 Hudson Commodore Eight

The Hudson was a refined car for 1941. The bodies were longer and lower than the previous year models and the wheelbase was increased by three inches. Two verticle bars were added to the horizontal grill and the taillights were relocated from the fenders to the rear quarter panels.

Hudson also introduced Symphonic Styling for 1941 which allowed the customers a wider choice of interior and exterior colors and decors. Mechanically the Hudson Eight was fitted with a 128 hp eight cylinder engine and a new 3 speed synchromeshed transmission. This Commodore Eight convertible weighed 3350 pounds and was priced at $1,254. New in 1941 was the power assisted convertible top.
