I thing what Hudson may have done was create the reverse of what the industry today calls theater seating, where the rear passengers sit higher than the front. In the case of the Hudson it appears to have been the opposite and I noticed in Steve203's link to the Hornet model car, the front seat footwell seemed higher than the rear footwell when viewed from the floorpan underside. So for our theoretical '55, might have been an opportunity to re-engineer the front understructure to lower the front floorpan and thus the front seat... and thus the vehicle height. The rear seats were already fine, sombreros and sangrias apparently the order of the day.
