Back in the 1930s, Hudson Motor Company was a powerful automotive concern known for its well-done and classy cars. Hudson also had its hands in commercial vehicles under other brand names, building trucks and machines for industry. Its success in the consumer market, however, was its greatest strength with vehicles like the Hudson Commodore setting the bar.
In 1939, the company would make a decision that would change the industry forever. It hired Betty Thatcher, a new designer from the Cleveland School of Arts. Oros became the first female automotive designer in America. And she did so on her own merit, before World War II would change the workforce forever.
