Donald Duck Hawks '55 Hudsons

Here is Donald Duck, along with Huey, Dewey, and Louie, featured in a commercial for the 1955 Hudson as seen on ABC-TV's Disneyland show.






These '55 Hudsons were actually badge-engineered Nashes built at the Nash factory in Kenosha, Wisconsin under the American Motors banner. The Hudson Motor Car Company had been effectively swallowed up by Nash Motors in 1954, creating American Motors. Manufacturing of the Hudson cars was moved from Detroit to Kenosha soon afterward. AMC retired both the Nash and Hudson marques in 1957 in favor of its' rising Rambler make.
