The Hudson Motor Car Company was founded in Detroit in 1909 and named after Joseph Lowthian Hudson, who provided the start-up capital for the company. The brand quickly gained a reputation as an innovative car manufacturer. The following features, which are taken for granted today, appeared for the first time in Hudson vehicles: starter motor, warning lights for oil pressure and alternator and balanced crankshaft. Another feature was the "step-down" chassis, in which the vehicle frame was positioned lower between the axles, which ensured stability and better handling. By the end of the 1930s, Hudson had worked its way up to third place among American car manufacturers in terms of unit sales, producing up to 300,000 vehicles a year. In 1929, only Ford and Chevrolet produced more cars.

The Super Six was a six-cylinder model that was produced from 1917 to 1928. The model designation was later revived several times. It was powered by an in-line six-cylinder engine with a displacement of 4.7 liters and an output of 76 hp at 2,450 rpm. The engine power was transmitted to a three-speed gearbox and then to the rear wheels via a cork-covered oil-bath clutch. The chassis had a wheelbase of 3,188 mm and could be fitted with various, mostly four-door bodies. There was also a two-door convertible. From 1922, limousines from Biddle & Smart were also available in addition to the factory bodies. With the Super Six, Hudson became the largest manufacturer of six-cylinder engines and models at the time.
