1942 Hudson Commodore Eight .It has the standing lights on top of the front fenders that were absent on the sixes.The car here looks extremely battered considering the movie dates from 1948 .The chrome parts of the grille have been overpainted .The 1942 Hudson was built from september to december 1941 with bright chromework.It could be a somewhat later blackout car. |

This is a 1942 Hudson, a series 21 Super Six. The eight was not available in the Super series this year. Hudson built 40,661 cars for the 1942 model year. From January 15 until the line was stopped on February 4, the cars were built without bright work, except for the chrome bumpers, which were considered a 'wear' item. Black-out trim cars were put into stockpile and released to goverment agencies or under OPA purchase certificate to critical need customers. This Naked City car appears to be one of the black-out trim cars. They're rare today; there are only two documented black-out Hudsons known. |

This Radio Motor Patrol (RMP) was apparently real, filmed in front of NYPD's 7th Precinct on Clinton Street (cf. http://www.policeny.com/rmps1940s1.html). |

The passenger bus passing through the scene was a 1933 Series 200 Mack Model 6-CL-3S operating for the Avenue 'B' and East Broadway Transit Corporation of Manhattan, New York. If you look very closely at the shot you'll see the fleet # beginning with an 'A' just to the left of the destination sign - in those days most New York bus companies used the first initial of their company name as part of their fleet number and, to this day, no one can figure out why! -- Last edit: 2011-11-15 20:54:25 |
