Description

In 1930, Hudson discontinued the Super-Six engines and introduced their Great Eight models. Available in ten different body styles with a wheelbase range of 119-126 inches, these models had spacious interiors and more power than their predecessors. This 1930 Hudson 4 Door Deluxe Sedan has an impressive history. In January 1930, it qualified at the Indianapolis 500 at a speed of 106.185 mph. It started in 15th position, finished in 10th, and averaged 89.6 mph. It also raced in the Tour de France. Before its restoration, it was found near Burton, West Virginia in the early 1960s. It has a sliding gear aluminum case transmission with three forwards and one reverse, floor shift control semi-floating rear axle, Bendix mechanical servo brakes, and wooden wheels with steel rims. It weighs 3,250 pounds.
