For 1955 the Wasp became a product of the new American Motors Corporation, assembled at Kenosha, Wisconsin, after the Detroit factory closed. Introduced at the Chicago Auto Show in February 1955, it shared the shorter wheelbase of the Nash Statesman and was offered as a four door sedan and a two door Hollywood hardtop, in standard, Super and Custom forms, with the Jet's small six cylinder engine. Traditional Hudson buyers disliked the change, and Wasp sales fell to 7,191.
