The 1951 Hudson Hornet, a car that made NASCAR racing history at the time by introducing the concept of "step down in the car" due to its very low centre of gravity. This also gave a very good stability to the car, helping its racing performance at the time.
In the Cars cartoons, this model was one of the main characters, being a former racing champion.
The car was not produced for many years, so there are not many or very easy to find.
Television celebrity, and avid car collector, Jay Leno, has one such car in his collection that he is very proud and excited about.
This specimen is in very good condition, functional, registered as a historic vehicle, interior completely restored with the original materials used in the 1950s for this car, the engine purrs impeccably and is a delight to hear under the stately hood.
The Hudson Hornet is a sight that doesn't pass unnoticed.
Description
body: saloon, cylinder capacity: 5051 cc, fuel: gasoline, power: 108 Kw (146 hp), transmission: manual
