| Hudson Motor Co. began manufacturing cars in 1909 in Detroit. It was established by experienced automakers with financial backing from wealthy department store owner Joseph L. Hudson. The company quickly became an industry leader. In 1953, with sales slumping, Hudson merged with Nash to form American Motors. After the 1957 model year, AMC dropped the Hudson and Nash names. |
