Looking at it closer, I must admit that it's wrong also for Six/Eight, but fits perfectly on a '37 Terraplane. http://www.classiccar.com/photopost/data/510/Terraplane37BizCpe.jpg

This Hudson product actually started life as the Essex Terraplane in july 1932 .However the Essex name was soon slowly phased out during 1932 and 1933 and in 1934 the cars were simply known as Terraplanes. So 1932 and 1933 models are generally listed as Essex Terraplanes and 1934 to 1937 models as Terraplanes.To complicate things ,the Terraplane was again no longer classed as a separate make in 1938 , in which year it became the Hudson Terraplane .In 1939 the Terraplane name disappeared and cars were simply designed as Hudsons.
