Moebius Models #1213 1/25 1954 Hudson Hornet Club Coupe The 1954 model was the last of the step-down Hudsons, and came out with a new one piece windshield, new lower body sheet metal and modernized interior. Unfortunately it wasn’t enough in the public’s view, as many consumers felt the design had become dated, and with the other auto makers producing newer overhead valve V-8s the flathead six wasn’t desirable anymore. On May 1 1954 Hudson Motor Company became part of American Motors Corp, merging with automaker Nash and on October 30, 1954 ceased production of Hudson cars on its assembly line in Detroit.
The latest Hudson subject from Moebius is the 1954 Hornet Club Coupe. The first thing to catch your eye is the fantastic box art, showing what looks like a 50’s era sales brochure cover on the box top. Inside you quickly find a packed box, with all parts packaged in plastic bags, keeping everything in order. This 130 piece kit is molded in light gray and clear styrene with four vinyl wide whitewall tires. A metal rod is also included for the rear tires to attach to the axle.
his is a highly detailed kit with beautiful engraving on all the parts, as we’ve come to expect with Moebius, including the engine and running gear, chassis and much of the interior panels. What’s new here is the body, lower body pan/interior floor, a new dashboard and no less than three(!) sprues of chrome parts.
