Re: [Amc-list] 1955 hudson hornet

[Frank Swygert <farna@xxxxxxx>]

There are no production break-downs by option. There were 1554 Hollywood 
Hardtops and 5357 four-door sedans made. All Custom models got the 
continental spare. The figures in "The Standard Catalog of American 
Motors" doesn't break down four-door production between the standard and 
Custom series. The continental spare was an option on the standard 
though. "Twin-H" was optional on all.

You may not have any luck with the Hudson club. I'm not positive, but 
they may actually refer you to the Nash club. I think they stop at 1954, 
and some disdain the "Hash" cars of 55-57 (Hudsons built on Nash 
bodies). Those did continue using the Hudson six instead of Nash engines 
(except the 56-57 V-8, and 55-56 used Packard V-8s -- the AMC/Nash V-8 
was introduced in late 56 and only used in the Ambassador Special and 
Hornet Special, which was the lighter/shorter two door Statesman/Wasp 
body with Ambo/Hornet trim). The dash, grilles, suspension tune and trim 
were unique to the Hudson models, but the main body shell was obviously 
Nash, and they were so different from the last Hudsons that many Hudson 
aficionados refuse to recognize them. Handling of the old Hudsons is 
vastly superior, it would be almost like going from a sports car to a 
family sedan.
