Can anyone identify this car?

[Deleted User]

A fellow sent me these pictures today, of a Hudson he owned back in 1954 or '55. He says he sold it years ago, but would like to know what it was.



The pictures came through really small, and I've tried to resize them, but maybe that made them too grainy.



Anyway, what's the best guess on this one?

looks to be a swb car so with the small rear window has to be a 50 pacemaker.

Yep Nick's right. 50 Pacemaker .

I agree -- the front fenders are pretty short, the sides are devoid of much trim, and the tailights say no newer than '51.



Thanks for helping me get this right Guys. I think its pretty important to keep those dusty memories as accurate as possible.

I thought the small rear window was 48-49. They used a small window in 1950?

What they were really doing was working off all the old body inventory The 1950 LWB sedans had a much larger rear window that was seperated in the middle with a divider bar. The next year Hudson dropped the divider bar idea in favor of one big rear window.Any 1950 sedans with the small rear window were short wheelbase cars . On coupes the small window was on all cars.

Good info, I didn't know what to think since i have a 50 Commodore sedan with the split window.

Absolutely a 1950 Pacemaker. I had one.
