Re: [HSS] Super Six serial #s for 16 & 17
In a sense, Pete is correct that the Model H
Super-Six was a 1917 model, as the factory itself
designated - see Butlers "History of Hudson" pp
40-41.
However, to keep things on an even keel the
Model G Six-40 was a hold over from 1915 - it was
intro'd around July 1915 and production ceased
with the intro of the Hudson Super-Six Model H in
January 1916. Thus many states registered these
"1917" models as 1916 models.
It makes far more sense to consider the Model H
as a 1916, the Model J/4J as 1917 and Model M as
1918 - and this I have done in my Handbook of
General Specifications. But doing it this way it
elimates the question - "Do I have a 1916 or 1917
model?" - and brings the Model H Super-Six into
line with most original state registrations.
