Hudson Country Club Six

Hudson Country Club Six Cabriolet Model 93 (1939)

The Hudson Country Club Six refers to a series of six-cylinder automobiles that the Hudson Motor Car Co. in Detroit produced from 1939 to 1940. These cars combined the chassis and appearance of the larger Country Club Eight model with the technology of the smaller Pacemaker and Six models .

The chassis had a wheelbase of 3,099 mm ( model 93 ) and was equipped with an in-line six-cylinder engine with side-mounted valves, 3,474 cm³ displacement (bore × stroke = 76.2 mm × 127 mm) and an output of 96 bhp (70.6 kW) at 3.900 min ^-1 . The engine power was passed on to a three-speed gearbox (with steering wheel gearshift) and then to the rear wheels via a single-disc oil bath clutch. The hydraulic brakes worked on all four wheels. An automatic clutch and a semi-automatic preselection gearbox were available as options.

There were various superstructures, mostly with 2 doors. But a 4-door sedan was also available.

In 1940, the Country Club Six, like all Hudson models, adopted the appearance of the Hudson Super Six : the Model 43 had a radiator grille with horizontal bars that took up the entire width of the vehicle and headlights that were still integrated into the fenders. The wheelbase was now 3,175 mm.

The six-cylinder engine with the natural displacement now made 102 bhp (75 kW) at 4000 min ^-1 . Only 4-door sedans with 6 or 8 seats were offered as superstructures.

In 1941 the Country Club Six was dropped without replacement.
