The Hudson Italia.

Only 26 were made before Hudson went broke and was absorbed by Nash (who became AMC).

It's basically a Hornet Chassis, but each was sent to Italian coachbuilder Touring of Milan to have this beautiful aluminum body put on. The final pricetag was higher than the top-of-the-line Cadillac, which explains why so few were ordered/built.

Of the original 26, 21 have been located, and all are running.
