The Hudson Pacemaker was a car produced by the Hudson Motor Car Co. in 1933 and, like the Previous Year's Greater Eight, was part of the T and L series. The name "Pacemaker" was taken from the previous year's models of the Essex Group brand. In the model year 1939, the name revived, this time for an internalseries 91 successor to the Terraplane, another brand in the group. In addition, there was the better equipped Hudson Six with the same technology. After the Second World War there was again a Hudson Pacemaker in 1950, which was the series 500 / 50A, the smallest Hudson series and remained in the program until 1952.
1939
In the 1939 model year, a car with the name Pacemaker appeared as the successor to the Terraplane models of the previous year.
The model 91 was built on a chassis with 2997 mm wheelbase. The 2-door cars (there was also a 4-door sedan) had torsion bars on the front axle. The in-line six-cylinder engine with a displacement of 3,474 cm3 (bore stroke = 76.2 mm x 127 mm) developed an output of 96 bhp (71 kW) at 3,900 rpm. On request, a double carburetor version with 101 bhp (75 kW) was also available. A single-disc oil bath clutch propelled the engine power to a three-speed gearbox with steering wheel shifting that propelled the rear axle.
In addition to 2-door body types there was also a 4-door sedan.
Furthermore, there was a better equipped Hudson Six (model 92) with the same technology and the same bodies. It had higher-quality upholstery fabrics and a walnut dashboard.
The following year, the Hudson Super Six replaced the Pacemaker and the Six.
