hudson garage find,london,england

got this today,rhd.51 commerdore,stock as a rock

 

Man, that's a cool ocean-liner! Like the tags too. And cool windshield. Very nice find.

Is that black or a very dark blue? Looks blue maybe but should clean up and buff out pretty nicely either way.

 

Cool car. Can you plesae fill us in on the value/sale of older car license plate numbers over there?? Like what would those numbers on that car bring if sold?

 

beautiful!

 

I love those. Doesn't matter if it's a 4 door. Huson was right on with their styling.

Tell us about the hunt and negotiations. It was an old granny wasn't it?

 

score!

I've always liked those old big hudsons.

thats horrible you dont want that in your garage ........

bring it over to me and ill give it a good home .. great find bud , whats the plans for it then ? .

 

Wow that is cool, story please.

 

maybe as much as $1500,maybe not,,some plates get sold for thousands,,

 

it was ownd by my wifes cousin,its not been out the garage for 7 or 8 years,he left for aussie but came back and never used it again,he didnt realy want to sell it but knew he wouldnt be bothered to do the work on it,he wants to enlarge his house so the garage has to go,it needs work on all the doors but the flattie fired right up with some new fuel and a battery,,it was restored years ago and sat in a jaguar showroom for ages,i used to go and look at it when i was 17/18,,it needs a new wiper motor and a wash,,

 

Look up Keith's (hudsoncustom) and what he's been up to with his Hud,

cool score!

 

Where's Hudsonator?

 

****** cool find!! Really looks like a nice car, all the original trim is so cool. Enjoy your great find, happy for you brother. ~Sololobo~

 

So it was sold brand new in England? What about the RHD, is it a chain type conversion, or were all the components purpose built?
It is a cool car, the history makes it cooler.
I remember Tony Coe's Consul Capri it was in a Ford dealership up in Nelson, I used to go stare at it when i was 15-16 years old.

 

PS, that license plate has got to be worth several thousand pounds.

 

You know, with a wet sand, that'll probably shine right up! Maybe a coat of clear...

nice find,i really love the hudson look

 

that is exactly what i want for a family cruiser. congrats!

 

Damn, that thing'll take up 1 1/2 lanes of your average British road.

Great that it finally came to a deserving home where it will be revived to cruise another day. Well done Bob - persistence pays off.

 

Great score...that thing will scare the **** outta your average morris minor or mini cooper...rhd too!

 

great find!!!!!rhd ftw lol

 

It appears to be solid. Is it a 6 or 8?

 

Wow,I gotta see the rhd deal. Here's a Hudson forum

Needs one of these now...

 

Awesome! I love seeing more Hudson's finding their way back to the road. Keep us posted on the progress, please.

 

I'm sliding in late, but enjoying the find like everybody else.

Very cool discovery, they are still out there!

I'm Jonesin' for it and the '61 Ranchero.

Thanks,
Kurt

 

Nice to see it go to a good home. That will make a cool cruiser,with enough room for everybody too!

 

Great find Robert, that's irony isn't it. I found an Anglia in USA, and you found a Hudson it UK. Those old Hudson Hornets tore up the race tracks in the '50's. You'll be stylish in that, need to get some curb feelers for it till you get used to the width tho.

 

Wow u dont see those 2 much very neat what r the plans man
