52 Interior colors

Kdancy

What interior colors were available in 52 Hudsons? It seems I have only seen the brown interiors.

Kerry, My Dad's 52 Hornet sedan had blue cloth interior with the blue vinyl trim, blue leather grain dash and blue steering wheel. It was a good looking interior. The exterior was Southern Blue with a Hollywood Blue top. He was the second owner of the car in the early 70s and it was all original.

I would also like to know if there is an upholstery guide or "option sheet" that was available to the Hudson buyers in 52. My Dad's 52 convertible had maroon vinyl covering the seats. When we had taken those covers off it had maroon and grey leather seats. I had never seen this two tone leather in a car before.

I like your question "what interior colors were available in 52 Hudsons?"

Interesting question, Kerry. I thought it would be easy to find in my accumulation of reference stuff. I thought it would be in the Master Parts List... couldn't find it. Went to DuPont Duco listing ... only exterior. The 53s(7C) had 2 colors only, a Broadway blue and a Surf green ( or close). When I restored my car in the early 90s the painter matched what was there... Bway Blue. It must be listed somewhere. I know Charlie Regnerus helped me, but still it must be listed.

Another thing I am trying to find out, is that I have seen some 52 Wasp with the round Hudson disc trim on the front door panels, one said Wasp, one H-127 and one Hornet. Some original interiors I don't see these at all.
??
Thanks all !! We want to restore this paticular 52 wasp back to original if possible.

52 Wasp I found for sale with some good interior pictures-
see the round emblem on the door panel?

Nice car, The H127 came on Wasp cars with the 262" six. Corresponding to the horse power. In your case the 52 Wasp
engine. Hornets had H-145 discs. Later and in 53, the H discs had HORNET in the center due to the availability of Twin -H. Pacemaker had the 232". Pacemaker became the Wasp in 53. The 52 Wasp became the Super Wasp in 53. Commodore was deleted. AKA the insect cars.

Ken where are the interior colors listed? Can't find them in the MPList? Or anywhere in fact.

Each model had its own color grouping. Not sure how this photo will work but here are the interior colors for the Hornet. I just sold my dealer book so it is in the mail and I can no longer look.

That is a gorgeous car. You could not restore one to that condition for $28K, assuming the pictures are accurate to present condition.

That car was sold to a person in Sweden.
