The Hudson Super Six was one of the most advanced American automobiles of the early twentieth century. Introduced in 1916, the model gained its reputation thanks to an innovative balanced six-cylinder engine design developed by engineer Howard Coffin. This engine concept improved smoothness and performance compared with many earlier engines of the period. The Super Six quickly became known for its durability, reliability and strong road performance, which helped Hudson achieve success in endurance events and early motorsport competitions. During the 1920s the model was widely appreciated for its engineering quality and robust construction. Today surviving examples such as the Super Six Phaeton are valued by collectors for their historical importance, distinctive early motoring character and representation of American automotive engineering from the early twentieth century.
