Hudson – other models: Commercial Six, Pick-up and Super Six from Detroit (1909–1957), six-cylinder engines of 3,472 to 4,500 cc, 75 kW, kerb weight 1,580 to 2,500 kg
Hudson was a car manufacturer based in Detroit, active from 1909 to 1957. This collective page lists three commercial and light-truck versions of the marque: the Commercial Six as a commercial version on a six-cylinder basis, a pure pick-up version, and the Super Six – the name under which Hudson, from 1916, built its six-cylinder engines with a crankshaft counterweighted in a manner advanced for its time.

The register lists 3 versions with 3,472 to 4,500 cc displacement from six-cylinder engines, an output of 75 kW for one version, kerb weights of 1,580 to 2,500 kg, gross vehicle weights of 2,250 to 2,312 kg, a length of 5,436 mm and widths of 1,400 to 1,848 mm.
As light commercial vehicles on a car-based chassis, the Commercial Six and Pick-up were aimed at tradespeople, farmers and small businesses, while the Super Six engine remained the marque's technical flagship for years in competition with Ford, Chevrolet and Dodge. Such vehicles are today sought mainly in the North American classic-car and collector market.
When buying these historic vehicles, key points are the condition of the frame and body panels, corrosion on running boards and load platforms, the function of the clutch, gearbox and mechanical brakes, and the originality of the engine and carburettor. Spare parts come almost exclusively from classic-car specialists, specialist remanufacturers or donor vehicles; the manufacturer no longer distributes new parts.
