The 1955 Hornet was the first car of the new American Motors Corporation to be entirely new, and it was delayed until January 1955 because engineers had to give two very different looking cars the same body shell. It used the Nash platform with Hudson styling themes, a broad egg crate grille and distinctive two toning. Only the sedan and hardtop were offered. The old six cylinder remained, and for the first time a Packard built V8 with Ultramatic automatic transmission was available. Production for 1955 was 10,010 sedans and 3,324 Hollywood hardtops.
