For the 1956 model year, AMC executives decided to give the Hornet more character and the design for the vehicles was given over to designer Richard Arbib, who provided the Hornet and Wasp with one of the more distinctive looks in 1950s which he called "V-Line Styling". Taking the traditional Hudson tri-angle, Arbib applied its "V" form in every conceivable manner across the interior and exterior of the car. Combined with tri-tone paint combinations, the Hudson's look was unique and immediately noticeable.
This example features an original 320-cid V-8 engine with a three-speed manual transmission with overdrive. It is finished in black and turquoise green with beige paneling and whitewall tires. It has a solid body and undercarriage and is said to be a rust-free vehicle.
