Swan Song For Hudson

Here's a magazine ad for the 1957 Hudson Hornet, which came in four-door sedan and two-door Hollywood Hardtop body styles.  This car, like that year's Nash Ambassador, came with a 327 cubic-inch, 255 horsepower, overhead valve V-8 engine.  As was the case with Nash, American Motors pulled the plug on Hudson after the '57 model year to concentrate on  Rambler and the Metropolitan subcompact.
