It was given 37 seconds of screen time.
Remember: The Piston Cup for one year was named “The Hudson Hornet Piston Cup” as a tribute to him

I’ll go with these 3 theories:

1. His engine had too many miles on it, due to him racing all the time in his youth, and getting back into it when Lightning came into his life. Which built up more miles, causing his Engine to wear off. But Doc’s crew chief is still alive and well, so maybe the engine theory might not be accurate.

2. He died racing one last time. As in the Cars Shorts clip, we see a door that resembles his own. Meaning that when racing again, he got in a wreck and full on died, instead of just getting injured.

3. If Cars have organs in their world, maybe when Doc got in his first wreck back in his youth, the wreck probably caused some issues that weren’t able to be reversed, but didn’t catch up with him until he got older and back into racing? Idk for sure, just a guess.

It's sad that Paul Newman died in 2008.
Imagine if Him and Doc Hudson were still alive today.
I think Doc Hudson was gonna be in Cars 2

I mean bro went from driving barely a mile or 2 a day for 30+ years to full power throttling his engine training McQueen…it’s not surprising he fucked himself up pretty bad

1:31 dinoco is blue because of Richard Petty, who drove the Plymouth Superbird and was nicknamed "The King"

Doc Hudson was a 1953 Hudson Hornet - making him 53 in Cars and 58 in Cars 2. (Would have been 64 in Cars 3.)
Smokey was a 1943 Hudson Stepside - making him ten years older than Doc Hudson, and 74 in Cars 3.
Junior Moon (1940 Ford Coupe), River Scott (1938 Dodge Coupe), and Louise Nash (1950 Nash Ambassador) were also considerably older than Doc but, like Smokey, had never been involved in a major wreck like Doc Hudson had.

While the exact injuries sustained by Doc in his infamous crash (to my knowledge) were never enumerated, safety was fairly lax in that era of racing - the most probable cause of Doc's death would have been a lingering injury to his 'nervous system'. This would be yet another motivation for Doc to retire to Radiator Springs, putting the stress and anxiety of his former 'athletic career' in his rear-view mirrors. As with most such injuries, flare-ups (and even death) can occur suddenly at a later date with little or no warning.

Throughout the canon of all five movies (Cars, Cars 2, Cars 3, Planes, and Planes 2) it is established that most components outside the cabin can be replaced - even the American spy in Cars 2 commented that he could replace a cracked engine block, and the numerous blown engines were crippling but non-fatal injuries. So too with Miles Axlerod, who not only had virtually every part replaced multiple times but had supposedly converted to an electric drivetrain.

1951 is when he got the first piston cup

Doc died due to a hard crash while coaching McQueen in 2009.

They had hours of recorded interviews and just general recording sessions with Paul. That’s how they were able to use Doc in 3. I’d imagine they’d do the same for 4.

I was hoping that Doc would return in Cars 3 with a new voice actor. Take The King and Chick Hicks for example.

The King and Chick Hicks debuted in the 1st film, they were absent from the 2nd film, but they returned in the 3rd film with new voice actors to play them.

The thing with cars is that they can be fixed no matter how turned to shred they are. I’ve seen myself cars that I thought would never function again be repaired and made even better than before

[abridgingpanda]

Doc Hudson died to either a blown gasket, blown Piston rings, radiator failure or intake clog.

These engine issues would either likely cause too much fuel entering the cylinders or too much air.
If not resolved quickly the engine will erode (I think).

Doc was in the episode ghost light. Last time we saw technically,
I am working on my cars show tv on my YouTube channel

Mcqueen is missing doc hudson very much 😢😢

[alccoderonscratch]

Doc Hutson didn’t die in the post credits scene, after a short silence, he goes back up the hill that lightning crashes at

1:36 The King and that light blue colour is a reference to Richard Petty, who is the voice of The King

This series doesn't get enough appreciation.

Herb Thomas drove a Hudson Hornet back in the early days. He was in a serious crash. That’s who Doc was a person not a actual car. Smokey was Smokey Yunick.

8:47 that's s wise idea i refuse recast late actors but accept it in flash backs

[butteryscones]

If Doc was in his 90s. It wouldn't make sense because the Hudson Hornet was built in 1951.
