According to data supplied by Earl Huffman there were Models 5M & 6M. Model 6M apparently introduced Aug. 22, 1918 - no date given for 5M. It is believed that 5M & 6M designations may have been assigned as price changes were instituted or as some sort of dealer allotment due to steel shortages brought on by WWI. The following serial numbers have been found: 5M: 4-Dr. Sedan - 75000; Limousine - 80000 6M: Limousine - 82194 to 82445; Town Car Landau - 95000 2) See 'Addendum' for starter/generator information and abbreviations. 3) Factory Prices available for left hand drive models only. 4) Model M continued as 1919 Model from Dec. 1918 until intro of Model O, May 1919 (Butler, "History of Hudson") 5) 1918 Hudson’s were produced from Dec. 1, 1917 to May 1919 – became 1919 Model on Dec. 1, 1918 6) Current regulation by Third Brush System 23 (9) 06-2009
The 1918 Full-Folding Landau This illustration reveals something of the smartness of the Full Folding Landau. It presents a new type to America. The demand for Hudson cars abroad is largely responsible for its design. Since European motor car manufacturers have been unable to turn out automobiles, the demand in the rich and fashionable centers of South America, in Australia, India and part of Europe has been filled by a few American makers. The Hudson has taken its place as a leader of the smart cars in those sections where before such cars as the Rolls-Royce and Sunbeam of England, the Peugeot of France and the Fiat of Italy were the favorites. To meet that trade we have had to furnish designs in keeping with those of the European production. This explains the origin of the Full Folding Landau. It also in part accounts for much of the Hudson exclusive distinctiveness. The Full Folding Landau is produced in a very limited quantity for domestic trade. The number available is, in fact, so small that it partakes of the exclusiveness of a custom built car. The fittings are in keeping with what may be expected in the most formal limousine. The colors are smart and bright. With the bright finished leather top, which may be let down on occasion, the leather mud guards and other unconventional details the car possesses a character that is appealingly distinctive. The 1918 4-Passenger phaeton This is a development of one of the most popular models Hudson has ever produced. Last year we called it the "Speedster" and that name properly describes it to all who are interested in a car possessing that quality. But the name unfortunately seemed to limit the car to those interested in a fast car. Everyone is so familiar with just what the Super-Six can do in that particular that now there is no need to emphasize speed in any one model. Any Hudson, even the Limousine for that matter, which in most cars, because of the heavy body is more or less sluggish, is as lively and speedy as anyone will want. The Four-Passenger Phaeton is a beautiful, cozy car, as richly finished in its detail as any model in the Hudson line. It will appeal to all who appreciate beauty, comfort and unostentatious luxury. As for the chassis, experience with the thousands of cars of similar type that we produced last year, is proof of its complete adequacy. There is great pleasure in driving a car that takes every road with the smoothness that characterizes the Super-Six And especially is it important that a car of its type should be capable of performing every service without making its work obvious to the driver or his passengers. That kind of performance can be relied upon from the Super-Six 24
