1942: Hudson Super Six Coupe

            I am so glad I waited as long as possible before leaving The Inn at St. John's after their final Concours -- it moves to Detroit, 
 leaving from Plymouth for 2022.   This was in a row of cars just about to leave,  and spotted just as we were driving toward the exit.

1942 of course was the extremely short model year due to all production switching to WWII items after not long after Pearl Harbor was bombed.   They produced just over 40,000  '42 Hudsons,  barely half of the 1941 total.   They began to roll off the line at Detroit on July 21,  1941  and stopped February 5, 1942.  And due to materials rules,  after January 1st only the bumpers were chromed,  the rest of the brightwork was plain steel, painted to look like,  well,  sort of like "chrome."  This stylish coupe beat the deadline, as the sun spots on the chrome tell the viewer.

Michigan Summer!   . . .   July 25,  2021.
