The Hudson Motor Car Company of Detroit, Michigan introduced the Terraplane model in 1932 and the name continued until 1939. In 1933 the car became simply the Terraplane until 1936 when it was brought fully into the Hudson line-up. The Terraplane was a low price however powerful vehicle that was sold as both commercial and Passenger models and came with choice of either six or eight cylinder engines. The Terraplane chassis and engine was also used in the British Railton car made between 1933 and 1939. Several hill climbing, economy runs, and speed records were established by the Marque in the production years.
