No car could look as dreadful as the 1986 Plymouth Voyager. In my opinion an ugly car from the 50's is much better looking than the most beautiful car made today.

Ramblers were also baged as Hudsons. I own a 56 Hudson Rambler. They only did that in 1955 and 1956. You could get a Nash Rambler at your Nash dealer and a Hudson Rambler at your Hudson dealer.

Those early 50's cars maybe ugly, but i'll bet they'll last longer than any of those effeminate Japanese/Korean buggies they're boasting about!

This car looks good enough to be worthy of a deity.
-
guess they wouldnt name a car the "WASP" in today's world....

Buy a Hornet or Wasp; you'll get stung!

Hudson and Nash pioneered welded construction, and Nash pioneered the high coil location. Both were great companies, as was the Packard. Only Studebaker was the fly in the soup.

@tiochristopher : Boy, you certainly know your car history. I could learn a lot from you, probably some secrets that have been covered up as well. Farina's '52 redesign of Nash was always a favorite of mine. So ergonomic, but fat around the wheel wells. The '55 Chevy was in the same category, with no fat. Lowery's Stude was aerodynamic, but ergonomically poor. The company was a lemon, and it killed Packard when they merged. Everything Nash made was impressive.

Their claims make sense, the graphic of the suspension is not too unlike the McPherson struts on modern cars. I believe that Hudson was buying V8 engines from Packard in 1955 also.

YOUR RIGHT, Thanks. I used to go to the American Motors Building in Southfield Michigan and the 1902 Rambler built by TJC was in the lobby. Thank you for the correction

as Mickey's Mouses nephews said on another 55 Rambler commercial, "Live a little drive a Rambler!"
-
yes I am sure it was confusing. George Romney former president of AMC said that the President before him George Mason always saw the Rambler as a compliment to the Nash and Hudson lines. But Romney saw the Rambler as the car of the future. He was right as most cars on the road today are built like the rambler.
Awesome! May be one of the few Hudson commercials in existence from after the Nash-Hudson merger...and probably the first and only Hudson commercial I've ever seen!
