Wherever You Go ... The World Over ... Ride The Green Lane Of Safety In A New 1939 Hudson

Hudson Motor Car Company, Detroit, Michigan

Publication: Printed in Canada by R G McLean Limited, 1938, N P

First edition. 4to. 12" x 9" color, pictorial wrappers, 24 pp. (including covers), color-lithograph illustrated throughout and numerous black & white photograph illustrations. This scarce dealership catalogue is the Hudson Motor Car Company's 30th anniversary lineup, with fresh new styling and models. A limited numbers of these models have survived, and very few appear in period photographs. Even though over 80,000 cars were shipped to dealers, there are very few remaining examples from one of the few surviving pre-World War II smaller automakers. For the year 1939, the company offered six new models, all equipped with L-head engines with chrome-iron blocks, beginning with a bare-bones Series 90, and then the Series 91, 92, and 93 straight sixes, and finally the fully equipped Series 95 and 97. The Country Club sedans, Broughams, and Coupes featured luxurious Airfoam interiors, with a broad range of paint and upholstery choices. This is a very colorful and informative catalogue. Light wear to the spine and extremities, else a very good, clean copy. Worldcat locates 1 copy (Library of Michigan, Lansing).
