The name 'Hudson' came from Joseph L. Hudson. a Detroit
department store entrepreneur and founder of Hudson's department
store. who provided the necessary capital and gave permission for
the company to be named after him. A total of eight Detroit
businessmen formed the company on February 20. 1909. o produce a
car which would sell for less than $1. 00. Production followed
quickly with the first car being driven out of the small factory in
Detroit on July 3. 1909. The new Hudson 'Twenty' was one of the
first low-priced cars on the American market and very successful
with more than 4. 00 sold during the first year. The company had a
number of firsts including dual brakes. the use of dashboard
oil-pressure and generator warning lights and the first balanced
crankshaft which allowed the Hudson straight-six engine. dubbed the
'Super Six'. to work at a higher rotational speed while remaining
smooth and developing more power for its size than lower-speed
engines. In 1919. Hudson introduced the Essex brand. designed to
compete with Ford and Chevrolet as opposed to the more up-scale
Hudson line. The Essex found great success by offering one of the
first affordable sedans and combined Hudson and Essex sales moved
from seventh in the US to an amazing third by 1925. At their
peak in 1929. Hudson and Essex produced a combined 300. 00 cars in
one year including contributions from Hudson's other factories in
Belgium and England; indeed. a factory had been built in 1925 in
Brentford. London.

This 1931 Hudson Essex Super Six saloon was imported and
registered in Belgium in 1994 after being restored to the highest
of standards in the USA. in the early 1990's. Finished in tan over
brown with light brown patterned cloth interior. the car requires
some cosmetic work to bring it back to its former glory although we
are informed by the vendor that this Hudson Essex is in very good
mechanical order and runs and drives well. The car is supplied with
the Belgium registration document.
