production numbers on 48 Hudsons?

jrenda

i've been told that my 48 commodore coupe 8 cyl is sort of rare but I can't find out the production numbers.  Is it actually rare?  It doesn't mean all that much if it is or isn't I'd just like to know.  I have been seeing more and more 2 doors in the 47-52 range so I am more curious than anything else.  Truth be told I bought it in part because of the "rarity" of the 2 door version.  The money is spent and the project is underway so regardless I am in for a penny, in for a pound.

thanks all

Jason,

If you are a member of the HET club go look here : 1946 - 1954 Hudson Production Data

But just in case you aren't (and I heartily recommend it!) from that document I've extracted these numbers:

Commodore 8 35,315

Super 8             5,338 built out of a total of 117,200 cars

53jetman

Hudson production numbers do not break down the number of each body style that were produced.  But the Club Coupe and Business Coupe models are among the more rare units produced by Hudson.

Thanks all.

I did sign up for that club.  I appreciate the info!
