A Pair of 1913 Hudson Model 54 Cars sold as a package. One is a Torpedo and the other a Touring Model.
DESCRIPTIONThe Hudson Motor Car Company returned to a two model lineup for 1913, offering the Model 37 and Model 54. The Model 37 was available as a roadster, torpedo, coupe, touring car, and limousine with prices that ranged from $1875 to $3,250. Its wheelbase measured 118 inches and rode on 34 x 4-inch tires. The inline four-cylinder engine displaced 280.6 cubic-inches and developed 37 horsepower at 1,500 RPM. The Model 54 had a 127-inch wheelbase and was powered by a 421 cubic-inch six-cylinder engine with 54 horsepower. Both engines were backed by a three-speed manual transmission with floor shift controls. Braking was handled by mechanical brakes on two wheels.
The Model 54 body styles included a roadster, 5- and 7-passenger touring car, 7-passenger limousine, coupe, and a torpedo that was later described as a phaeton. Both the Model 37 and Model 54 were equipped with a Delco starting system instead of the prior Disco acetylene-gas unit.
Hudson boldly claimed that it was 'the world's largest producer of six-cylinder automobiles.'
DETAILSThis is a pair of the rare 6 cylinder Model 54 cars to be sold as a pair.
One(Torpedo) is an older restoration and has participated in multiple cross country tours. Tires, Top, Brakes and Wiring need attention.
The other one(Touring) is fairly complete and needs restoration. New front fenders, hood and splash aprons. Rear fenders are rough. Most bright work done. Extra head and side lights. Wheels look sound. Rims are rusty but serviceable. Transmission and rear end rebuilt. Clutch seems OK. Rear drive axles missing. No upholstery done. Radiator holds water.
