Just got this awesome diecast car from Disney Pixar Cars called Doc Hudson Hornet in 1:24 scale, about 9 inches long.
Former champion Doc Hudson's plate is "51HHMD," which is the real license plate of the original 1951 Fabulous Hudson Hornet. Doc is not only the town doctor, but also the town judge and also a retired racecar. His license plate reads 51HHMD (a reference to his year (1951), model (Hudson Hornet) and profession (medical doctor)). Doc was once known as the Fabulous Hudson Hornet (#51), one of the most famous racecars to have ever lived; he won three Piston Cups, and still holds the record for most wins in a single season.
The car is based on the real-life Fabulous Hudson Hornet in NASCAR competition driven by Herb Thomas and Marshall Teague. A reality Hudson Hornet themed on Doc that was used to promote the film's release is on display at the Volo Auto Museum.The character of Hudson himself is most likely based on his voice actor Paul Newman, who was one of the film screen legends during his prime at his younger age, but his mainstream film acting career fades as he got older, similar to how Doc Hudson's racing career faded away.
The Hudson Hornet is an automobile that was produced by the Hudson Motor Car Company of Detroit, Michigan between 1951 and 1954. The Hornet was also built by American Motors Corporation in Kenosha, Wisconsin and marketed under the Hudson brand between 1955 and 1957.
The Hornet dominated stock car racing in the early-1950s, when stock car racers actually raced stock cars.
Doc Hudson along with his friend Lightning McQueen and Tow Mater, Sally Carrera, Ramone, Fillmore, Sarge, Flo, Guido, Chick Hicks, are part of the Disney Pixar 2006 animated family movie called CARS. A sequel, Cars 2, is currently in production and set for release on June 24, 2011. Its gonna be in Disney 3D, realD 3D, IMAX. Plot of the movie is: Star racecar Lightning McQueen and the incomparable tow truck Mater take their friendship to exciting new places in Cars 2 when they head overseas to compete in the first-ever World Grand Prix to determine the world's fastest car. But the road to the championship is filled with plenty of potholes, detours and hilarious surprises when Mater gets caught up in an intriguing adventure of his own: international espionage.
Torn between assisting Lightning McQueen in the high-profile race and towing the line in a top-secret spy mission, Mater's action-packed journey leads him on an explosive chase through the streets of Japan and Europe, trailed by his friends and watched by the whole world. Adding to the fast-paced fun is a colorful new all-car cast that includes secret agents, menacing villains and international racing competitors.
