For its final year, designer Richard Arbib covered the Wasp in his elaborate "V-Line Styling" motif. Buyers weren't won over — sales fell to just 2,519 before Hudson pulled the plug.
Hudson deliberately underrated the Super Wasp's 262 at 127 hp, one below the Commodore Eight, so the cheaper six would never outrank the flagship.
