[Young Ed]

[Oldguy48]

Could it be that they are all 4-door vehicles?

[T120]

...built in N.America ?

[bamfordsgarage]

They're all orphan brands.

[greg g]

Ding ding ding!! Give the man a cigar, Johnny.

[Niel Hoback]

All straight sixes, too

[greg g]

The Studebaker may have had an OHV V8 as they introduced thiers in 51.

[Young Ed]

Hudsons had straight 8s too didnt they?

[Niel Hoback]

Hudsons of that era had 308 c.i. flathead six. It was the biggest thing they had. "Twin H Power had dual 2 bbls.

[greg g]

Hudson had straight 8's in the 30's, not till 55 did they get a V8 sourced from Packard.

[Young Ed]

I thought this one belonging to my neighbor has a 8cyl in it. Did they have more then one model?

[greg g]

According to the specs chart at carnut the 52 Commodore was the last Hudson to have the straight 8. So maybe...

[Young Ed]

Yup that name sounds familiar. Bet his does have an 8. I know its a top of the line car. Funny the one spec seems that the 8 is smaller CI wise then the big 6.

That can happen... The 1932 Plymouth PB had a 196 cu. in. 4 cylinder engine. The 1933 PC and PD Plymouths had a smaller 190 cu. in. 6 cylinder engine.
