Hudson Wasp

The Hudson Wasp was the lower priced, shorter wheelbase running mate of the Hudson Hornet from the 1952 model year. Its first generation used Hudson's own step down unit body, while the last two years, built by American Motors at Kenosha after the Hudson and Nash merger, were Nash based cars with Hudson styling. It was offered in only a few body styles by the end and was dropped after 1956, leaving the Hornet as the last Hudson. This site gives every generation and every model year its own page, in 2 generations: the first generation (1952 to 1954); the second generation (1955 to 1956).
