For 1952 the twin carburetor setup that had been optional became standard, giving the six cylinder engine its rated output of 145 horsepower, and buyers could choose an aluminum or an iron cylinder head at no extra cost. Cosmetic changes were slight, so the car still looked much like the 1948 Commodore, even as it dominated stock car racing that season. Sales began to sag because the unit construction made yearly restyling costly. Hudson built 35,921 Hornets for 1952, among them about 2,160 hardtops and 360 convertibles.
