1954 Hudson Hornet identification

I recently acquired a 1954 Hornet Club Coupe, body nr. 7317532. Actually the car is only currently being shipped from Miami FL to Finland, thus at this moment I only have photos and some info by the seller. Is there a source or database to find out the factory information of this very car? - original engine information - interior/upholstery spec. - trim level, possible factory accessories etc.

I once got "a built sheet" by Chrysler Heritage for my 1948 Dodge, I wonder if such factory documents are available for late production Hudsons?

Thanks,

Pekka

    According to the book, "The History of Hudson (the postwar years)," by Richard M. Langworth, "the last Hudson -appropriately a Hornet-rolled off the assembly line at Jefferson Avenue (Detroit) on October 29, 1954." The last four Hudsons were shipped from this Detroit facility on December 29, 1954.
