Overview of 1949 Hudson Commodore Six Convertible For Sale by Owner

Hudson was a Detroit-based automaker that was founded in 1909, but merged with Kelvinator in 1954 and subsequently died off. Their most opulent offering during the 1940s and early 1950s was the Commodore. This full-size car came in various forms, including as a sedan, coupe, convertible, and even a short-lived pickup truck. Made across three generations, today’s 1949 Hudson Commodore Six Convertible comes from the third and last generation. Residing in Naples, Florida, this quintessential 1940s classic car includes the spare tire, jack, and lug nut wrench as well. The current owner says that only 656 Commodore Convertibles were made in 1949, so you’re a part of a club that’s more exclusive than some supercars! This car was even displayed at the Meadowbrook Concours d’Elegance in 2009, we’re told.

Exterior and Interior

The cream colored bodywork of this 1949 Hudson Commodore Six Convertible is perfectly representative of automotive design in the 1940s. The curvaceous outlook, bulbous fenders and chrome bumpers are all present and correct with this car, which rides on whitewall tires and features large Hudson hubcaps protecting its steel wheels. If you look closer at the monobuilt semi-unit body with step-down design, you’ll note a subtle two-tone paint scheme at play. The car’s convertible top, of course, comes in black. There’s even a convertible top boot to ensure that the car’s clean lines are not disturbed when the top has been lowered and stowed in place. The interior of this 1949 Hudson Commodore Six Convertible comes in white and features amenities such as power windows and an AM radio. You’ve got plenty of wood trim and some chrome embellishing the interior too, which can accommodate up to four adults in comfort. Even the trunk is pretty spacious, with the spare tire neatly concealed within its custom cover.

Engine

This 1949 Hudson Commodore Six Convertible is powered by a 201ci L-head inline six. It uses a 3-speed manual transmission to drive the rear wheels. The engine should make around 123 horsepower, which is more than enough for decent driving dynamics. After all, this car is a cruiser and not a track star.
