Lets See Those Hudsons!

no really, those tail lights dont work there. the frenched stockers were better.
it very, and mean very hard to make those work on anything but a 59 cad.

 

Where has this thing gone??????????????? It realy came out, i miss it

 

Hudsons hold a near and dear spot in my heart.

Now that is one COOL Hudson !!!

 

Hudson's are way cool, the gay reference is not a very politically correct attitude. Show some class folks. Don't mean to be a jerk but this is not consistant with todays standards, hope I haven't stepped on anybodys toes. H.A.M.B ers are not hicks. O.K., kick my ass. When an influential orginazation such as the N.B.A. is making a commercial about this issue it is time to take notice. ~sololobo~

 

i just bought another one..... 54 wasp (possibly superwasp?). my 4th one

 

7c brougham that is one rare car I have one too. Besides mine I have only seen a few nice to see another one!

Here are a few I have owned since 2000: First is a 1956 Super Wasp with the 202 w/3-spd and OD. It was a great driver!



Here is my first Hudson, a 1950 Pacemaker coupe. It had a 232, and was about to get a 262, when it was destroyed in the May 2003 tornado.



I had a pair of Twinkies, a '52 and '53 Hornet, each the same color, and each with a 308 and Twin-H. This one flew approximately 500 feet through the air, landing on its wheels and rolling another 125 feet in a reverse J-turn, ending up in my pasture in the same tornado. Both cars went to Arkansas later on.



My second Hudson - a '50 Commodore 6. It was untouched in the tornado, go figure! Now in Tulsa.



Below is my 1937 Terraplane. Bought in May 2004 as a rolling, painted car with the engine in place, I finished the car out in 2008. Traded it off in 2010. Now in St Louis.

And lastly, my current Hudson, a 1947 Super Six. Owned since July 2011. One day, will have a 440 auto in it!

 

These are the start of my next project
A pair of 51s. Both Pacemakers. I stumbled across 5 Stepdowns in the past 2 months, but not a single Hornet or even a Wasp.





One has a 318 poly hacked into it and the other a stock 232.

 

Here is my '53 twin H hornet with a 4 speed Hydromatic, 75000 original miles, has been in my family for 40 years.

 

This was one of four local cop cars. The cops loved them. The bad guys hated to get into a chase. These had the Twin Hornet package.

My favorite view:

 

The 49 SuperSix we sold, but really enjoyed driving it.

The 47 Com coupe is still nice but needs paint, pic at a car show last summer.
I tried, have to learn how to post the pics. Later.

 

No offense to any of the other cars or car owners but your 30 super 8 is the best looking Hudson on the whole thread. IMHO Thanks for sharing it.

 

can'y remember if i posted or not???
heres some from around 1956-57?shortly before my grandmother passed away,my mom & uncles,aunts..for the rest of the story look at my signature.

 

Norm, that's a 48-50 Hudson...no hornets until 51, and no Twin H in 48-50, that was an option that first appeared in November 51. FYI.

For what it's worth, here's a more recent pic of my project. Finally got it in paint this past year...

 

Edit: ^^^ Man, that is a nice car...





Theres a guy down the street from me who has like 4 of these cars stuffed into a 2 car garage; I'll try to get some pics...

 

my hudsons. 49 custom, 39 project, and 2-36 terraplanes, but a guy just bought the 36's and picks them up tomorrow. didnt want to sell but needed funds for my sons hospital bills.. family first!

 

This is a photo of my uncles car. A real nice hot rod!

 

Thanks brother! I'll pass that on to the old man. I'm sure he'll be happy to hear that people still appreciate the old girl. Can you believe he still drives that thing at 70 MPH on wood spokes wrapped with bias plies with mech. brakes?

 

When it comes time for the next project, If I see a step down Hudson next to a 49-51 Merc, same price, same condition- the Merc is still for sale.

 

No shit! That's cool as hell. I wish I was closer I'd set a spell with him a swap stories. That is by far the koolest car going & even kooler yet that he drives it at 70 MPH. That would be a hoot! Thanks for sharing.

 

'51 Pacemaker Coupe
In need of a rear end assy. Later (Dana44) would do nicely. Prefer 3.78 Hydromatic gears.

 

Im gay for Hudsons!

 

What Kind of Wheels are those? Did you hack the Dowel pins off?

 

If being gay for Hudsons is wrong.......I don't wanna be right!!!

 

zombiescustoms:::
aren't those bid window diplomat/ fury wheels?{cop}
sega::: the dowels unscrew,had to do that when i moved my 49 & stuck mopar wheels on the rear,

 

That's mine. It's a little different now. I chopped it last Thanksgiving.
