I didn't know Paul Newman voiced the Hudson in Cars. He's one of my favorite people, raced a 240z, started a food brand where all the profit goes to charity, just a great role model.

The Hudson hornet.<br>There is one here in South Africa in a private collection affectionately called "The Long Runner", simple because the Hudson takes a bit of time to get up to speed, but it just gets faster and faster and faster and it keeps that speed round sweeping turns.<br><br>An awesome cross country cruiser in my opinion.

The Hudson is a very special car to me. Before I was born, my grandfather fell asleep at the wheel coming home from work and t-boned a semi, knocking the driveshaft out of it. The police officer told my grandmother that if Grandpa had been in any other vehicle, he'd have been killed. So thrilled and emotion filled that the Herb Thomas 92 survived!

So glad you guys got Jay for this one too, after his time in the Turbine car documentary. Not to mention The King and Herb's kids too!! What a great episode this was....

Man, I smiled all the way thru this video. I knew of the Hornet decades and decades before the Pixar movie. I had a high school classmate (73) that owned a 52 he had bought from his grandfather. I mean seriously there was no other car in the school parking lot like it. The interior was huge in comparison to most the cars in the parking lot. The more crap we gave him about a straight six and a three on the tree the better he loved his car. I mean most the cars in the schools lot were V8 four speed pony cars. No doubt about it this car is of NASCAR LEGEND.

If only this was done before Jack Miller passed away. He really was Mr. Hudson. Long live the Ypsilanti Automotive Heritage Museum.

I wish there was still a strictly stock class in NASCAR racing today🙃

Been a Hudson fan since the 80s. After the movie "Cars" came out, I discovered that I also used to live in Radiator Springs (Seligman, AZ, the inspiration for the fictional town). I kinda feel like I'm a part of the whole thing! LOL!

This documentary was so well done. I am a huge Cars movie fan as my son grew up watching it over and over. We set up whole scenes in his playroom and would play for hours. We continue to visit CarsLand in Disneyland and get goosebumps walking into the Rt 66 setup. We now live in a home that has ties to Hudson and Studebaker sales and service so this really hit home no pun intended.
