After the merger that created American Motors, Hudson's Detroit plant closed and Hornet production moved to the Nash lines in Kenosha. The second generation Hornet was in effect a Nash Ambassador body given Hudson styling, and the Hudson six cylinder stayed on as an engine choice while V8 power arrived for the first time, at first from Packard and later from American Motors itself. Sedan and hardtop were the only body styles. The Hudson name disappeared when the 1957 Hornet ended. Its model years run from 1955 to 1957.
