Hudson's lesser sister brand Essex had been using the "Super Six" name since model year 1928.
The fading Essex brand began 1932 selling their cars as the "Greater Essex Super-Six," then the "Essex Super-Six Pacemaker", and finally as simply the "Essex Pacemaker."
This car, largely unchanged, was also sold as the Hudson Super-Six "Pacemaker" in 1933 only, in parallel with the cheaper Essex-Terraplane which was kept in production (minus the "Essex" moniker) for 1934.
While the low cost Essex-Terraplane sat on a 106 in (2,700 mm) wheelbase, the Series E Hudson Super-Six has 113 inches (2,900 mm).
The engine displaced 193.1 cu in (3.2 L) and produced 73 or 80 hp (54 or 60 kW) depending on the compression ratio.
