The model was only produced in 1929. It was a further development of last year's Hudson Super Six. The name was chosen to highlight advances in technology and styling.
The Greater Hudson was built on chassis with 3112 mm (R series) or 3531 mm (Series L) wheelbase. The innovations included larger safety glass windscreens and narrower A-pillars. The short chassis were equipped with 2- and 4-door factory bodies, while the L series chassis were equipped exclusively by Biddle & Smart with 4-door special bodies.
The car had a counter-controlled in-line six-cylinder of the predecessor with a displacement of 4,728 cm3 (bore stroke = 88.9 mm x 127 mm), which developed an output of 92 bhp (68 kW) at 3,200 rpm. The engine power was transferred to the rear axle via a single-disc oil bath clutch and a three-speed gearbox with a center shift.
In 1930, the Greater Hudson was replaced by the eight-cylinder Hudson Greater Eight. The company did not offer a six-cylinder engine again until 1933.
