Hudson began its 1946 automobile production on August 30, 1945. The designs were based on the 1942 models. Models were Super and Commodore—both could be had in I-6 and I-8 cylinder configuration. Body styles were Sedan, Brougham Coupe (Super only), Club Coupe, and Convertible. There were only minor cosmetic changes from the pre-war versions except that the car's grille now had a concave center section.

Hudson automobiles were more fully equipped than competitive makes, and all Hudson models received door arm rests, twin air-horns, ashtrays, windshield wipers, stop lights, locking glove box, sealed beam headlights, and deep pile carpeting. Commodores added foam rubber seat cushions (Hudson was the first automaker to introduce foam seat cushions), door-step courtesy lights, rear arm rest (sedans) and gold etched lettering on the dashboard panel.

Production was 55,814 for Supers and 26,018 for Commodores for a total of 81,832.
