Hudson – a brand that you may not have heard of, but your parents and grandparents definitely have. This interesting American automaker was born in 1909, but defunct by 1954 as they merged with Nash-Kelvinator. If you trace Hudson’s history further forward, you’ll find that it eventually traverses into AMC. Nevertheless, in its heyday, Hudsons were famous for their distinctive styling cues. The Commodore ran between 1941 and 1942 before World War II necessitated a stoppage of civilian automotive production. It returned by 1946 and was made for a further six years. The Commodore represented the largest and most luxurious automobile from Hudson’s product line-up. Today, finding a Commodore isn’t easy, but we’ve got one right here. So if you wish, call or DM us and pick up this 1950 Hudson Commodore Six Convertible from its current home in Los Gatos, California. It’s a lovely classic car to own and drive, as well as being something rather rare.
This 1950 Hudson Commodore Six Convertible’s bulbous Fifties looks are wrapped in a clean yellow coat of paint. Since the car is a convertible, it sports a manually-operated top in burgundy, creating an interesting contrast with the yellow bodywork. Meanwhile, the car rolls on whitewall tires with large Hudson hubcaps, while the bumpers and many exterior trim elements are in that most desirable element of luxury, chrome. The interior of this 1950 Hudson Commodore Six Convertible is a study in period luxury, with red leather upholstery and real wood trim adorning the dashboard and door cards. There’s an electric clock, a push-button radio and even a heater. We’re also informed that the car sports power windows. Popping the trunk reveals a similarly clean and neat outlook, continuing the red theme of the interior, right down to the spare wheel cover.
Under the hood, this 1950 Hudson Commodore Six Convertible is powered by Hudson’s robust 262ci inline-six engine, renowned in its day for smooth power delivery and long-lasting durability. Output is sent to the rear wheels through a classic “Three-on-the-Tree” column-shifted 3-speed manual transmission, a setup that defined the era and gave drivers an engaging, hands-on motoring experience. Many examples of the Commodore Six were also fitted with optional overdrive, allowing for more relaxed cruising at highway speeds. Together, this drivetrain not only represents the engineering pride of postwar Hudson but also captures the spirit of 1950s American motoring—balanced, durable, and unmistakably mechanical in feel.

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.
This 1938 Hudson Terraplane Rat Rod is a bold fusion of pre-war American design and modern hot rod engineering. Built on a 1971 Chevrolet ¾-ton chassis, this custom creation abandons originality in favor of strength, capability, and unmistakable presence. The rat rod philosophy is fully embraced here, combining an intentionally weathered appearance with serious mechanical upgrades underneath. Powered by a 355ci V8 and riding on modern suspension components, this Terraplane delivers a driving experience that is raw, aggressive, and purpose-built. It is not a restoration, but rather a carefully executed custom hot rod designed to stand apart from conventional classics.
One of the shortest-lived nameplates in Buick history has got to be the Invicta. In fact, this full-size offering packed in two generations within just five years. The first generation ran for 1959 and 1960, while the second was made from 1961 to 1963. Given the car’s short production run, it’s no surprise that the market isn’t awash with examples. Thankfully, we have this 53,667-mile 1959 Buick Invicta for sale today. With its 401ci V8 and automatic gearbox, this Miami-based classic is the perfect choice for someone seeking an unconventional automobile to cherish, and of course, drive.
This 1974 Chevrolet Corvette Coupe, in all its orange glory, comes from an era of resilience. The C3 or third-gen ‘Vette is the longest-running of them all, with a fourteen-year production run between 1968 and 1982. Cars like this one are historically significant because they weathered the most dreaded time in American auto history; the Malaise Era. Even during those times, the Corvette was still the fastest American car available. Now, you can see why, when you take a closer look at this 24,000-mile machine from Island Lake, Illinois. It’s a survivor, a stunning looker, and above all, never compromised on engines by always having a V8 beneath the hood. So why not buy this beautiful boulevard cruiser and stick it to today’s soulless EVs?
Cadillac may be best known for their massively opulent land yachts that really pushed the boundaries of full-size cars, but did you know that they had smaller options? In fact, they still do. Between 1976 and 2004, their midsize luxury car was the Seville. Named after a Spanish province renowned for art and architecture, today’s 1985 Cadillac Seville comes from the second generation of the nameplate. It’s got only 13,272 miles on its 4.1-liter throttle body injected V8, and features a four-speed automatic transmission. Interestingly, the car is front-wheel drive, as was typical back in the day. If you’d like to acquire this rather interesting piece of Eighties Americana, it’s currently up for grabs in Fountain Inn, South Carolina.
