1946 Hudson Super Six Pickup

This 1946 Hudson Super Six pickup was purchased by the seller in 2010 and underwent a refurbishment that was completed in 2015. It was awarded an AACA National First Prize at Hershey, Pennsylvania, that year, as well as a Palmetto Award from the Hilton Head Concours d’Elegance. It subsequently earned an AACA Senior Award in 2016, and was shown at a number of events throughout the 2010s. The truck is finished in green and ivory over tan vinyl upholstery, and power comes from a 212ci straight-six paired with a column-shifted three-speed manual transmission with overdrive. Equipment includes a black-stained wood-floor cargo bed, running boards, a single taillight, and an under-dash heater. This Hudson pickup is now offered with factory literature, car show awards, and a Virginia title in the seller’s name.

The truck is said to have received rust repairs before it was repainted in Spring Green and Nepal Ivory during the refurbishment. Equipment includes chrome bumpers with front overriders, a backlit Hudson grille badge, a hood ornament, running boards, a Hudson-stamped fold-down tailgate, and a single brake light. The seller notes imperfections in the paintwork, and an AACA Senior First Prize plaque is affixed to the front license plate.

Painted steel wheels wear chrome hubcaps and trim rings, and they are mounted with 7.00–15″ Firestone Deluxe Champion bias-ply whitewall tires. The Super Six pickup rode on a 128″ wheelbase and featured a coil-sprung independent front suspension as well as a live rear axle with leaf springs. Stopping power is provided by hydraulic drums at all four corners.
