Hudson: The Hornet's Sting

By Jack Mercer

From its ambitious beginnings in early 20th-century Detroit to its glory days on America's racetracks, the Hudson Motor Car Company carved a path unlike any other in the history of the automobile. Known for its groundbreaking engineering, stylish designs, and racing dominance, Hudson pushed the boundaries of what an independent automaker could achieve in a world increasingly dominated by giants.

Hudson: The Hornet's Sting tells the complete story of this legendary brand-its rise, its innovations, its battles on the track, and its eventual disappearance through corporate consolidation. With a special focus on the iconic Fabulous Hudson Hornet and the company's unmatched success in NASCAR's formative years, this meticulously researched narrative explores how Hudson's daring spirit and technological brilliance left an indelible mark on the automotive world.

Rich with historical detail, memorable personalities, and the pulse of racing engines, this is the definitive account of Hudson's legacy-a story of resilience, innovation, and the enduring sting of a brand that, though gone, continues to inspire.
