From Site: Scene in front of the Hudson exhibit features several 1954 models. On the raised platform at the center of the photo is an Italian-built, aluminum-bodied Hudson Italia. (Only 26 were produced.) A Hornet Hollywood 2-door hardtop coupe is on the right foreground. Note the split windshield, at a time when nearly all makes had gone to a single-piece curved windshield. In the background, a Hornet was turned on its side to expose the undercarriage.Matt Matthews

At the Hudson exhibit area on the show floor, Chicago Mayor Martin H. Kennelly poses with female model and the Italian-built, aluminum-bodied Hudson Italia coupe. Only 26 Italias were produced. The car is sitting on a raised, chained-off platform.Matt Matthews

From Site:
Initially introduced as a dream car called Super Jet, Hudson renamed the prototype Italia, because the body was designed and produced in Italy. Unique styling cues included a triangle-centered front bumper, scoops above the headlights, taillights mounted in three exhaust pipe-like tubes, and real wire wheels. Both the concept and production models used the 114 horsepower engine and three-speed transmission out of the Hudson Jet compact car. The streamlined silhouette was nearly 10 inches lower than standard Hudson models. A small run of 25 Italia units was manufactured in 1954Matt Matthews

1956 Autoshow:
From Site:
Pre-show scene reveals the Nash and Hudson exhibit that is under construction, looking across to the Ford exhibit. The car in front, seen in 3/4-rear view, is a 1956 Hudson 4-door sedan. A Rambler wagon is next to the Hudson. Visible in part on the far right are the tail of a Studebaker, and above it the rear of a 1956 Ford. The Ford Mystere dream car is under covers. On a turntable sits a Ford Sunliner convertible.Matt Matthews

Thanks for the great pictures, Matt! The "split windshield" is actually just a lighting illusion. '54 was the only year for one-piece windshields in stepdown models.Workin Stiff -
Those are great images and a fantastic site! Thanks for sharing.

Here's a photo I have of the 1952 Chicago Auto Show. Lee Hesterman of Hesterman Motor Sales in Glen Ellyn, IL is seen in center. More pictures and information on that dealership can be seen on HudsonJet.net

That 52 probably didn't drive very well. Look at that Toe Out!1953 Hornet sedan Twin-H
Custom front springs, drop-blocks out back, Clifford 6-2 headers exiting out back shotgun style, Pertronix, and Flames!
1964 Chevy C-10 Longbed, 396/TH400 lowered just enough and \"easy to touch up\" Black paint.
2003 Ford Crown Victoria Police Interceptor
Caved in quarter and fender. Bad paint. Non-True-Trac heap. But it's paid for. -
Thanks for sharing. But it's not a split windshield. It's the reflexion of the light from the ceiling. Hudson had a single pie;) ce windshield in 54.Matt1950 wrote:

Yes I see that too. I just copied what the author from the website had stated. I can how the reflection could make the author assume that it was a split window. All in all some great classic pictures of car on that website.Matt Matthews
