You are looking at the real life Doc Hudson from the movie CARS! This is 1 of only 190 Hudson Hornet Hollywood Hardtop Coupes produced. Very few of these are left in existence making this an ultra rare classic! All Steel MONOBILT body-and-frame.

Powered by its original 308 cubic inch inline flat-head six engine that produced 160 horsepower @ 3800 RPM and 260 lb-ft @1800 RPM this was the fastest production car in 1952! The Hudson Hornet took 1st place in Nascar for 1951,1952, and 1953, and coming in 2nd place in 1954. These were race cars in there day and for that reason many of them no longer exist. Because of their racing pedigree the movie character DOC HUDSON (voice-over by Paul Newman) was created for Pixar animation in the movie CARS.
