Built between 1951 and 1954, first-generation Hudson Hornets merged the body and chassis frame into a single structure that lowered the floor pan so the driver would have to step down into the car. This design not only gave the car extra headroom inside and aerodynamic styling outside, it also lowered the center of gravity for better handling - a bonus for racing. In fact, it proved to be nearly invincible, winning 27 NASCAR® and 14 AAA stock car races! It was a big hit off the track, as well; with its sleek look, it provided a smooth, road-hugging ride that let up to 6 passengers travel in comfort and style. Now, you can celebrate the 65th anniversary of this history-making model with the 1952 Hudson Hornet Diecast Car, a 1:18-scale diecast replica car presented by The Hamilton Collection and manufactured by ACME Trading Company under license. This impressive Hudson collectible is precision-engineered with over 200 parts for exacting detail.Real car buffs won't be able to wait to open the hood of this incredible diecast car to get a glimpse of the Hudson Hornet's powerful "Twin H" dual single-barrel carburetors atop a dual-intake manifold that produced up to 210 horsepower, delivering track speeds of up to 112 m.p.h. With its 308 cubic inch L-head design, it was the largest six-cylinder engine in the world at the time. And be sure to notice the functional suspension, plus scoops on the hood that ducted cold air to the carburetors to keep the engine running cool and smooth. Vintage two-door coupe styling, a removable convertible top, and a two-tone hand-painted finish with silvery chrome-look accents further add to this ragtop's enduring appeal. Real rolling, steerable rubber tires, an opening trunk and doors round out this amazing diecast car. Strong demand is expected. Order now!
