Hi Don,

Here is an excerpt from Richard Langworth's book Hudson 1946-1957.

On the 1954 Italia, page 100:

"Flow-through ventilation, the first in the industry, was provided via cowl air intake and exhaust grooves at the top of the rear windows - Frank Spring claimed that the air inside an Italia changed completely every ten minutes."

Later on page 104 in discussing the prototype X-161 sedan with Italia styling, Langworth describes a flow-through ventilation system that had been intended for that car too.
