Hudson question

If it was mine, and only a summer driver, I would probably use Rotella 10/30 or 15/40. That is what I am using in my 50 ford.
I would look at Amsoil ZROD. Its for classic cars.
I've used Chevron Delo 400 15W-40 in my Studebakers for well over 30 years with excellent results. Being that you are in Delaware an HDEO 10W-30 would also be a good choice for a Hudson engine.
Does this Hudson have a straight 6 engine, the H-145 model?
Like mentioned above, 10/30 in winter and 15/40 for summer.
I have used these Rotella flavors in my 1951 GMC straight 6....they have performed well.
My 2 cents

Like good ol' Doc Hudson!
I agree with the HDEO requirement. Amsoil ZRod is a good choice too, but may be problematic depending upon how original stuff is in there, and if the originality of the engine and whatnot matters...

I have always used 10W30 in my 3 Hudsons with no problems.
Does the '52 have the cork clutch? I would be seeking the local Hudson club. Out on 140 in Franklin is a push me pulleee you. 2 Hudsons cut off at the B pillar and joined together
Brad Penn for the classics, probably a 15w-40 would be good
