Hudson Terraplane c.1937
The Hudson Utility Coupe had a 212 cu in (3.5 L) L-head straight-six engine, rated at 96 horsepower, giving the Hudson Terraplane Utility coupe the most power of its class, for that time. Not only did the utility coupe have power, it also had strength, the complete load capacity being rated for a half ton.
Terraplane automobiles gained notoriety for being clocked at 80 mph, which could compete with the new Ford V-8's performance. Within a year, Essex-Terraplane became known simply as the Terraplane.
