Hudson Super Custom Six
The Hudson Wasp is an automobile built and marketed by the Hudson Motor Car Company of Detroit, Michigan, from the 1952 through the 1956 model years. After Hudson merged with Nash Motors, the Wasp was then built by American Motors Corporation in Kenosha, Wisconsin, and marketed under its Hudson marque for model years 1955 and 1956.
Two distinct model year generations can classify the Hudson Wasp: from 1952 until 1954, when it used Hudson's existing short-wheelbase platform, and in 1955 and 1956, when it was built on the full-sized Nash platform. The two generations resulted in fundamentally different vehicles because of their platform design, engine options, and body styles. The second generation also received unique styling for their two model years.
