Herb Thomas's 1952 Hudson Hornet NASCAR Racer

The June 1, 2008 Orphan Car Show at Riverside Park in Ypsilanti, Michigan.

This is the NASCAR stock 1952 Hudson Hornet that Herb Thomas raced in 1952 and 1953. The car was given to him by the Hudson Motor Company, which realized the value of racing for improving the performance and durability of their cars. (A pretty good basis for the Pixar movie "Cars", as well).
