The Hudson Terraplane Utility Coupe is an automobile that was manufactured by Hudson Motor Car Company of Detroit, Michigan, between 1937 and 1942. ==Production history== In 1937 (the first year of production), the automobile was known as the Hudson Terraplane Utility Coupe. It was one of 17 different models in the Terraplane line (nine in the "Deluxe"/Series 71 line and eight in the "Super Terraplane"/Series 72). For the 1938 model year, the Terraplane brand was dropped for both trucks and autos, and afterwards the vehicle was called the Hudson Utility Coupe for the rest of its production cycle.〔 Even though the manufacturing of civilian automobiles was discontinued from 1942 to 1945 (so all production could be dedicated to the war effort).〔), Hudson did not then resume making the utility coupe after the war ended. Not only was this particular coupe model rare,〔 it was also different from a regular coupe because it could be used either as a car or a truck.〔 The Hudson Utility Coupe had a L-head straight-six engine. This engine produced 96 horsepower, giving the Hudson Terraplane Utility coupe the most power of its class, for that time. Not only did the utility coupe have power, it also had strength, the complete load capacity being rated for a half ton. The Hudson Utility Coupe had a strong wheelbase platform. From 1937 to 1939 the Hudson Utility Coupe used radial safety control suspension. In 1940, Hudson altered the Utility Coupe’s front suspension system from its original safety control system to an independent front suspension. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「Hudson Utility Coupe」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
