What car is Robert DeNiro driving in The Irishman?

What kind of car is Robert DeNiro driving at the very beginning of the movie The Irishman? I love it so much and I want to buy one (or at least test drive one). I’m sure it was very expensive, but I still need to know!

The car that Robert DeNiro’s character drives at the beginning of The Irishman is a 1951 Hudson Hornet. These cars were only in production from 1951 to 1957, so they’re pretty difficult to find these days.
If you do find a Hudson Hornet, you’ll probably have to purchase it from a
private seller
.
The average list price for a 1951 Hudson Hornet is $81,232, so they’re not exactly cheap cars. Some rental companies offer different model years for rent, so although it’s not quite the same as driving a 1951 model, you could still live the DeNiro lifestyle for an afternoon.
While Robert DeNiro’s character might not need car insurance, you certainly do. The
