Hudson set the U.S. auto industry on its ear in November 1947, with its new 1948 “step-down” unibody sedans. Even more remarkable, the company retooled to build the much bigger cars in only 23 days after the last 1947 model left the line. The new Hudsons were offered in Super Six and Super Eight forms and the high-line, Commodore Six and Commodore Eight. The new Hudsons were offered in Super Six and Super Eight forms, with the Sixes using a 121-hp, 262-cid flathead six-cylinder engine, and the Eights relying upon a 254-cid, 128-hp straight-eight motor. Production of the Commodore for the model year totaled more than 60,000 with over half being eight-cylinder models, while the Super rang up slightly lower than 55,000 sales. A convertible joined the Commodore coupe and sedan late in the year, but only 49 Commodore Six drop tops and 65 Commodore Eight convertibles were built. Both the Super and Commodore were available only in solid colors, and the convertibles were notable for the broad header bar over the windshield, which avoided a curved seal.
