Franklin Mint / 1936 Hudson Eight Convertible / Ltd. Ed. 2,500 / 1:24th scale
Silver





By 1936, the Hudson Motor Car Company had established itself as one of Detroit’s
leading innovators. Hudson automobiles were the first to feature dual brakes,
self-starters, a dash-mounted oil pressure gauge and generator warning lights,
as well as the first balanced crankshaft.
The new custom Hudson Eight of ’36 kept that trailblazing tradition alive with
the introduction of radial safety control and rhythmic ride suspension.
Innovative advances, a more powerful engine, and body styling that was more than
easy on the eye, combined to make this Hudson one of the most desirable cars to
emerge from the 1930’s.
Now, in commemoration of its 25th Anniversary, Franklin Mint Precision Models
presents the definitive die-cast re-creation of the automotive icon considered
by many the most beautiful car in its era – and, arguably, the most beautiful of
all time. And by acting now, you can be among the select few to own this
landmark achievement in model-making history.
Hand-painted a dramatic silver and black, the 1936 Hudson Eight is being issued
in a special Limited Edition of just 2,500 Worldwide.
It will be sent to you with a commemorative medal mounted to the undercarriage.
