The 1942 Commodore received a facelift with concealed running boards, new grilles and changed trim, and the station wagon was dropped. Hudson introduced the Drive Master semi automatic transmission, which used vacuum cylinders and solenoids to control the clutch and gear changes, as its answer to General Motors' Hydra Matic. Chrome trim gave way to painted metal after the start of 1942. Civilian production ended in February, with 5,396 cars assembled for the model year.
