That means you get proven reliability, updated suspension geometry, modern braking, and a drivetrain that’s built to be driven—not just admired.Power comes from a fuel-injected LT-series small block V8, paired with a 700R4 automatic transmission with overdrive. It starts easily, cruises comfortably at highway speeds, and delivers a driving experience far beyond what a stock ’50s sedan can offer.Inside, the cabin has been completely redone in a tasteful grey and white scheme that honors the Hudson’s original design language. A digital Intellitronix dash brings modern functionality, while the American Retro steering wheel keeps the vintage feel intact. Add in new air conditioning, new cruise control, and a modern audio system, and you’ve got a classic you can truly enjoy anywhere.Finished in a striking turquoise and white two-tone, this Hudson stands out in any crowd—whether at a local cruise night or rolling down the highway.With over $72,000 invested, this is an opportunity to own a unique, professionally built restomod at a fraction of the build cost.
