The 1954 Hornet received a more squared off redesign to match the compact Jet that Hudson had introduced the year before, a costly job because the step down frame wraps around the passenger compartment. It gained a one piece curved windshield and a working hood scoop, and the six cylinder engine was rated at 160 horsepower with a 170 horsepower twin carburetor option. The change came too late to help sales while Hudson negotiated its merger with Nash. Production of all body styles for 1954 totaled 24,833 Hornets.
