In Pixar's Cars, which veteran racer is also called the Hudson Hornet?

In Pixar's Cars, Doc Hudson is the veteran racer also called the Hudson Hornet.

Doc is the respected physician and judge of Radiator Springs, but he has a hidden past as a celebrated race car. In the 1950s, he won three Piston Cups and earned the nickname Hudson Hornet. His career ended after a serious crash and an unkind reaction from the racing world.

When Lightning McQueen arrives, Doc initially refuses to train him. McQueen's persistence eventually leads Doc to become his crew chief. Doc's experience helps the younger racer understand control, patience, and the value of a team.

Doc Hudson is modeled on the real Hudson Hornet, a car associated with early stock-car racing. Paul Newman provided Doc's voice in the first film and Cars 3, making the character one of Newman's notable late-career voice roles.
