My understanding with Hudson was they were unit body and the way they were built made it hard to update the body much without having all new tooling.
Hudson's stepdown come back to bite them in the end. The Jet was never a big seller to begin with and was no competition with the Rambler.
How much heavier would the 308 engine been than the 202 engine used in the Italia?

Really having just Nash and Packard joining forces would have had enough range with the Nash Rambler, Statesman, Ambassador, Clipper and Packard.
Plus both companies had some reserves of money. Hudson and Studebaker were both in need and would have been a drain on what money was available.
