[edit] Requested move

Hudson Motor Car → Hudson Motor Car Company – Page name should reflect full name of company as it's noted in the article — BRossow 21:11, 22 March 2006 (UTC)

  • Support I would have done the page move without even asking as it's pretty obvious that it should be done (IMHO) but as there was more than one edit to the redirect page I was prevented from so doing. ⇒ BRossow T/C 21:16, 22 March 2006 (UTC)
  • Support here I have been tearing through the articles and just assumed it so. I agree with BRossow on this - we're talking about a Corporation, not a "car". Now if you all will excuse me, I am going to wash the egg of my face. Stude62 21:23, 22 March 2006 (UTC)
  • Support Reasonable. If you could use the assistance of an admin in such a move, ask on my user talk page. -- Infrogmation 22:15, 22 March 2006 (UTC)

Hmm, I don't think I'm seeing the problems you (User:Infrogmation are seeing with formatting. Both look equivalent in terms of formatting to me using Win2k and IE 6. —Morven 19:03, Jul 20, 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Automobile self starter.

"The company had a number of 'firsts' for the auto industry. These included the automobile self starter,"

I am interested to know why someone is eager to credit Hudson with the creation of the self starter while it is has stated that Clyde J. Coleman invented the automobile self starter in 1899; then later onto General Motor's Cadillac division in 1911.

I am interested, too, in knowing someone credits Hudson with the first self starter. I've read it went to Cole and Chevrolet, too... --squadfifteen

I'd like to see some details about the life and death of the Hudson Racing Team.


While visiting the naval air museum in penna,fla, i noticed a folded wing on a plane,inside was a tag stating that the wing was made by the hudson motor car co.
