    The Hudson Motor Car Company used the name to describe (and advertise) the dual carburetor system which they introduced in late 1951. :)

    Thanks! I imagined, but for some reason I thought it was more "technical "....

    I think Hudson had introduced the term "H-Power" maybe in 1951, then later, for engines with the dual carburetors it became "Twin-H Power."

    But that would not explain the "H-145" designation previous to twin-H. Had to stand for something, maybe High power or something.

    "Twin Hudson Power" makes sense to me... so does "Hudson-145" or "Hornet-145" or how about "Hudson Hornet "H.H." "Hudson Hornet Power" Twin H. Even if you had 262 or a Jet with dual carbs it was a speed upgrade and so you might call it "Hudson Hornet Power" anyway. As if you're adding that performance edge to your Hudson associated with the Hornet. They sold a lot of cars based on the image of Hornet racing alone.

    If you have a Hudson Hornet Hollywood with Hydramatic you could call it a 4H but in rural areas that has a very different connotation. LOL

    The "H-145" was the original advertised horsepower of the 1951 Hornet with the 2 barrel carb. They maintained that standard HP rating thru 1953

    Well, overall I am happy. On my Hudson Pacemaker 1950, was an engine 308 of 1954, with double carburetors (Twin-H Power), and head 262 to increase the compression ......

    Pulled a couple of advertising brochures for '51 cars. Both refert o the H-145 engine as introducing "Miracle H-Power" - "the finest high compression performance without the use of premium fuels" also "high-compression, high-output design"
    and the "Miracle-Dome aluminum head, which gave a compression ratio of 7.2-1.


    Doesn't even compare with the Hornet's "New Skyliner Styling" - or its "gleaming 'Badges of Power'" (the side and trunk rockets)!

    Doub't even the Shadow knew what thoughts lurked in the hearts of ad-men...Walt-LA
