its really simple, I am sure much too simple for what you want. the firt two digits will be 49 the third will be 1,2,3 or 4 (e.g. 1 is Super Six, 4 is Commodore 8)indicating model and the rest is just the sequence off the line. I think Alex Burr's site will break down that sequence to the month of production, other than that there is no information within.

The 1948-1954 Monthly Model Year production Data is on Page 98 of the General Information Handbook.

Page 97 contains a 1948-1954 Production and Shipping Data chart which is the closest we can come to individual model break-down.

For those of you with 1946-1947 models a monthly breakdown chart (Hudson Model Year Production Run by Serial Number and Month of Manufacture) is available on Page 92.

A copy of this book is in the on-line library @:
