The Hudson Commodore was a series of full size luxury cars introduced in 1941. The Commodore represented the top model offered by Hudson during its life, and was sold largely as a coupe, sedan, or convertible. Over the course of production, the Commordore was available with a selection of inline six and inline eight engines. Hudson built the Commodore in three generations: 1st Gen (1941-1942), 2nd Gen (1946-1947), and 3rd Gen (1948-1952).
