Finding a 1956 Hudson with the Packard V8 is a rare find as AMC introduced their own V8 very early in the model run. I wonder if the 55 and 56 Hudsons with the 308 6-cylinder still used the "wet clutch" from 54 and prior? Anyone know? Anyone who raced a 6-cylinder Hudson quickly abandoned the standard shift and wet clutch for the Hydramatic, the wet clutch was great for drivers who weren't very adept and clutching and shifting as it sure had plenty of slip.
