Description

The Hudson Type 37 was a car produced by the Hudson Motor Car Company in the early 1910s. It featured a six-cylinder engine, making it part of Hudson’s strategy to offer more powerful vehicles compared to its early four-cylinder models. The Type 37 came with a displacement of around 4.7 liters and produced approximately 48 horsepower, which gave it competitive performance for the time.

The car had a conventional front-engine, rear-wheel-drive layout and was available in a variety of body styles, including touring cars and roadsters. It was aimed at the mid-to-upper segment of the market, offering both performance and comfort. The Type 37 helped establish Hudson’s reputation for building reliable, powerful cars that appealed to a growing middle-class market.

Hudson’s use of advanced engineering, such as improved carburetion systems and attention to handling, made models like the Type 37 stand out in the competitive automotive market of the 1910s. Today, the Type 37 is considered a collectible piece of automotive history due to its early significance in the brand’s development.
