The name 'Hudson' came from Joseph L.
Hudson, a Detroit department store entrepreneur and founder of Hudson's department store, who provided the necessary capital and gave permission for the company to be named after him.
A total of eight Detroit businessmen formed the company on February 20, 1909,to produce a car which would sell for less than $1,000.
The company quickly started production with the first car driven out of a small factory in Detroit on July 3, 1909.
The new Hudson 'Twenty' was one of the first low-priced cars on the American market and very successful with more than 4,000 sold within the first year.
The company had a number of firsts including dual brakes, the use of dashboard oil-pressure and generator warning lights and the first balanced crankshaft which allowed the Hudson straight-six engine, dubbed the 'Super Six', to work at a higher rotational speed while remaining smooth and developing more power for its size than lower-speed engines.
