Hudson-Essex, which later became Hudson Motors of Canada, began Assembling  Hudson cars in Tilbury in 1932 in a building owned by the Canadian Top & Body Co.

The first models were a series of Hudson Eights (first picture left and the Essex Pacemaker Super Six. Production of several popular models continued until the outbreak of the war. The Commodore Eight was the last car produced by Hudson pre-war.

Post-war operations began in 1950 but ceased in 1954 when Hudson and Toronto Based Nash Motors of Canada Ltd. merged to form American Motors (Canada) Ltd. The entire company moved to the Toronto area.
