Hudson · 1951–1956
Hudson Wasp
The Hudson Wasp is an automobile built and marketed by the Hudson Motor Car Company of Detroit, Michigan, from 1952 through the 1956 model years. After Hudson merged with Nash Motors, the Wasp was then built by American Motors Corporation (AMC) in Kenosha, Wisconsin, and marketed under its Hudson marque for model years 1955 and 1956. Two distinct generations of the Hudson Wasp can be identified: from 1952 to 1954, when it used Hudson's existing short-wheelbase platform, and in 1955 and 1956, when it was built on the full-sized Nash platform. The two generations differed in their platform designs, engine options, and body styles. The second generation also received unique styling for each of its two model years.
