One of my uncles bought a brand new 1948 Hudson Commodore 8 four door sedan, It was the first year of the step-down design and a very nice comfortable car, a terrific trip taker. It had a couple of serious problems though that led my uncle to trade it in for a new 1950 Pontiac Catalina Hardtop. The Hudson leaked dust badly and because he lived up a gravel road that wasn't good...and when the temperature dropped below 20 degrees F it wouldn't start unless you pulled it which I did several times because here in Southern Michigan it can be pretty cold some winter mornings. My morning routine used to be interrupted by him asking me for a pull with the old W6 before I could do my after milking chores. He had a managing job at the local Wards Farm Store so getting to work on time at 8;30 am was pretty important. That Hudson was a beautiful thing though....two-tone blue with whitewalls and full wheel covers with that low design and lotsa chrome. You could slow it down to below 10 mph in high gear and accelerate back up to road speed smooth as silk without shifting down and it would run 80 mph all day and get 16-17 mpg.
