Hudson Super Six Specs, Engines & Dimensions (1916–1928) — First Generation
The first-generation Hudson Super Six built its reputation on smooth, willing six-cylinder power in a roomy sedan body. Here is what that mechanical package means for anyone looking at one today.
The Hudson Super Six engine in the 4.7 MT sedan is a large-displacement gasoline six paired with a manual gearbox driving the rear wheels. Such a long-stroke six favours relaxed low-speed pulling over high revs, so the powertrain rewards early upshifts and steady throttle rather than hurried gear changes.
