9 panel view of an automobile which was first manufactured by the Hudson Motor Car Company of Detroit, Michigan in 1916. The first generation was introduced in 1916 and kept in production until 1928.
The Super Six was an early performance car. Before its introduction, Super Sixes made a series of speed runs on a track in Long Island, NY, followed by a new record transcontinental run (San Francisco to New York in 5 days, 3 hours, and 31 minutes - returning after an 8-hour break), a stock chassis speed record at Daytona Beach, a record at Pikes Peak, and the stock chassis 24-hour record at an average speed of 74.9 mph (120.5 km/h). The last record stood until 1931, when a Marmon took it.[1]
In John Steinbecks novel The Grapes of Wrath, the Joad family depends on a Hudson Super Six sedan converted into a truck. In the 1940 filmatization, the car used is a 1926 model.
Comes as an 8x10 on acid free matting.
