America's top automobile publications have given the Hudson Jet some of the hightest praise ever given to an American automobile. Not only have the inside pages given their praise but some have devoted covers and special pages to this Hudson product. Many of these magazines have been highly critical of Detroit products in the past and have proclaimed some foreign product as better than their American motor counterparts. But the Jet has been the apple of the many of the best automotive journalistic eyes. |
