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.
1950-1952
The Pacemaker of the 1950 model year was a smaller edition of the Super Six and Commodore Six (not Commodore Eight). Like this, it had a streamlined four-door hatchback body with covered rear wheel cutouts.
The 500 (standard) and 50A (DeLuxe) models were built on a chassis with 3023 mm wheelbase, 5" less than the other Hudson models of the year. The 2-door wagons (there was also a 4-door saloon) had a in-line six-cylinder with a displacement of 3,802 cm3 (bore stroke = 90.5 mm x 98.4 mm), which developed an output of 112 bhp (82.4 kW) at 4,000 rpm.
Like all other Hudson models, the Pacemaker was named "Custom" in 1951 and had a new radiator grille. The wheelbase rose slightly to 3045 mm.
In 1952, the cars were slightly simpler and the Wasp model was set aside, which was equipped with a slightly larger engine 4294 cm3 (262 cubic inches).
When the Wasp completely replaced the Pacemaker in 1953, 104,093 units were produced in three years.
