Description

The Hudson Hornet no. 120 of Dick Rathmann, 1952 season — 1:18 by Highway 61, with its original box.

The real car

The Hudson Hornet took three NASCAR titles in a row in the early fifties. The secret was the «step-down» design: the floor sat between the frame rails rather than on top of them, which put the centre of gravity lower than any rival's. With a straight six Hudson beat the V8s of the Big Three — until the competition caught up on sheer power. Dick Rathmann was one of the drivers who put the Hornet on top in the 1952 season; he later moved on to the Indy races.
