Projects 46-47 Hudsons

Anybody done anything with 46-47 Hudson sedans? Seen this one in a field.

 

Back up for the morning crowd

 

Nice truck.

 

That Sedan looks so lonely sitting out in the field.

'52 Motor Trend showed how to turn an ugly duckling Sedan into a Sports job;

 

That's pretty cool.

 

Hmm...where did the other responses go? I saw a couple other replies that are gone now.

 

Although the front grill on these cars is considered either **** ugly or beautiful, depending on your personal stance they are good solid cars. The stock engine uses the splasher type lubrication system which is not the greatest but a later model 308 can easily be swaped in. I currently have 4 of these (1 brougham, 1 coupe and 2 sedans) but will have to let 2 or 3 go to other owners as I can't build them all. Grab that puppy and build yourself something different from the standard Ford, Chevy, GM, etc.

 

The hood of one of these things would make a great boat tail. I could see using the original fenders/grille/cowl of this car on a shortened wheelbase with the hood as a boat tail rear as some kind of cut down sports car similar to the one above.

 

I've got a 39 Terraplane hood to do exactly this.
I'd like to see some closer pics of this Sedan, just for fun.

 

Guys, we've had at least a half dozen posts featuring non HAMB-friendly rides...let's keep it focused. If you aren't familiar with the rules, take a gander http://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/threads/the-h-a-m-b-rules-guidelines.44274/
