Found this Hudson for sale in the Chicago area Craigslist.  Claimed to be a 1953 Wasp, but judging from the hood and side chrome emblems, it appears to be a 1951 or '52 Pacemaker.  https://chicago.craigslist.org/sox/cto/d/lockport-1953-hudson-wasp/7176963082.html

    It IS a 1953 Wasp. Nice car it seems , but no  overdrive makes it less attractive to me,  

    I was looking at the side chrome pieces on the front quarters which are from a Pacemaker and also the angular cross members on the front grill (I was wrong about the hood ornament as that was on a '53 Wasp too).  I agree that lacking an overdrive is a detracting factor.  My first Hudson was a '53 Wasp with no overdrive and the engine really "wound up" above 60 MPH.
