The '51 Pacemaker's hood ornament was more upright and higher on the hood while the '52 Wasp ornament was more slid down the front like other 1952 series ornaments, as shown on the subject car. The '51 Pacemaker had straight up and down outer bumper guards while the '52 Wasp's were slightly curved out at the top, something not visible in the photo above. The subject car is a '52 Wasp. So listing.

Commander 57 ◊ 2015-04-18 03:20	My pleasure. I have long liked and admired the step-down Hudsons and really fell in love with them after watching Driving Miss Daisy, which inspired me to research the '48-'54 models and their differences year to year.
