1953 Hudson Hornet Club Coupe
Highlights

The most beautiful, the most powerful and top restored
3-speed manual transmission with overdrive
This ‘Fabulous’ Hudson Hornet Coupe from 1953 was imported by us from Indiana, USA. This is the most fantastic Hudson Hornet. It has everything going for it, namely, the year of construction 1953, the coupe model, the color combination of ‘Robins Egg Green body with Surf Green roof’, the fastest version with 7X specifications and the excellent condition! Restored by Hudson specialist: Wildrick Restorations from Shelbyville, IN.
Hudson was an American luxury car brand and was very successful in the NASCAR Grand National Series and the AAA stock car racing in the early fifties. Due to the characteristic construction, Hudson had a low center of gravity and relatively excellent road holding. The 5 liter ‘308’ 6 cylinder line engines with ‘Twin H-Power’ had a lot of torque. For homolegalization in the stock car race it was possible to get a Hudson Hornet with the so-called 7X-racing specifications (including a special camshaft) that delivered 210 hp! In combination with a manual 3-speed gearbox with overdrive a real driver's car!
The Disney film 'Cars' made the Hudson Hornet very well known to the general public. Car enthusiast Jay Leno is also one of the great enthusiasts of the Hornet, see the videos on Youtube and the episode of Jay Leno's Garage with the Hudson. A copy like this is a rarity in the US, let alone in Europe! This is a collector's item that you have to see in real life. An experience to drive.
