1953 HUDSON  HORNET MODEL FOUR DOOR TWIN H POWER STARTS GOOD AND RUNS GOOD DOES NOT OVERHEAT. SHIFTS SMOOTH 84. 00 MILES AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION FEATURED  IN CARS & PARTS MAGAZINE APRIL 2014 PAGE 67
The Hornet is equipped with a 308ci. L-head six. one of the largest six-cylinder engines in the world at the time. The six was originally rated at 145 horsepower but Hudson's interest in racing lead to the ‘Severe Usage' package. a factory-prepped and dealer-installed collection of thinly disguised high-performance options for the motor. By offering the option to the public. Hudson was legally allowed to compete in NASCAR back in the day when stock cars were actually stock. The package included a larger bore. bigger valves. ported and polished combustion chambers. high compression head. high performance cam. split dual exhausts. and a pair of single barrel Carter carbs called ‘Twin H-Power'. The result was an increase of 85hp for a total of 230hp. Wins on Sunday helped with sales on Monday and in 1953 Hudson sold more than 27. 00 units. nbsp;
 Recently  replaced  belts and hoses. Also a fresh set of Coker G-78/15 Wide Whites. With roomy accommodations inside for six and Hudson's famous handling. the car is a joy to drive.
