It was bought by his brother Ilídio Andrade from a well-known businessman at the time, from Madeira, who owned Casa Peixoto.
After the death of that businessman, the car was passed onto the driver who would later sell it to the Andrade family, who had little to carry out on the car, apart from an improvement to the engine and minor interventions.
He participated in classic car competitions, such as Raid Diário de Notícias.
The Hudson Motor Car Company is one of the few independent automobile manufacturers that managed to survive the Great Depression and World War II production moratorium.
Since its commencement in 1909, the Hudson's range of high-quality, carefully designed mid-priced cars has earned the company a loyal customer base that has sustained them through tough times. As Ford, GM and Chrysler grew, consolidating market dominance, independent manufacturers like Hudson, Studebaker and Nash had to make a redoubled effort to gain a secure position in this market.
The Hudson Commodore is a vehicle produced between 1941 and 1952. During its production time, it was the largest and most luxurious Hudson model.
Hudson began post-war automobile production on August 30, 1945. The car body styles were reduced to saloon, club coupe, and convertible. The designs were based on the 1942 models. There were minor cosmetic changes from pre-war versions, with one exception: the car's grille now had a concave centre section.
Hudson automobiles were more equipped than competing brands, and all models received door armrests, dual air horns, ashtrays, windshield wipers, traffic lights, lockable glove compartments, sealed headlights and plush carpeting. Commodore and Commodore Customs added foam rubber seat cushions (Hudson was the first automaker to introduce foam seat cushions), courtesy lights on the doors, rear armrest (saloon) and gold lettering engraved on the dashboard.
