The third and final generation of Hudson Commodore was introduced in 1948. Hudson offered the third generation Commodore in coupe, convertible, or sedan body styles. The third generation Commodore was the first Hudson model to feature "step down" construction, which lowered the center of gravity and gave improved handling. A 3.3L inline six or 4.2L inline eight were available as engine options. Production of the Hudson Commodore ended in 1952.
