Is anyone familiar with the Hudson Refrigerator? This is reported to be 1949. It’s in a local Porsche garage, I’ll try to get more pictures and model numbers if I can. A search returns everything Hudson except this.

I'm no expert, but that "Cold Meter" looks to be in the same spot as the clock on some Norges from that period.

Hudson..
Was a Detroit store...also Norge was a Detroit product, so it very well could be made by Norge.You can tell by the compressor if its a Norge Rollator.

That is early enough that Hudson's probably did private label themselves. Later in the 1950s they went with AMC (Aimcee Merchandising) which was a consortium of the independent department stores in the various cities...no direct connection with American Motors.
I couldn't find pictures of a Norge from this period (clock or no clock) with the creased door or similar looking hinges, but it could be that such a trim feature set Hudson apart and that everything behind the door is pure Norge.
The speculation from Hans makes perfect sense. I tend to think the "Cold Meter" is more useful than a clock anyway, and it requires no cordage to function.
