Always liked how simple and clean this one is.

 

Always liked Hudson's! Good to see this one wasn't lost or molested thru the years.

 

My buddy and I helped Ed push it around at the GNRS Customs Then & Now car show. I used to see it all the time at Mueller's Muscle Cars in San Bernardino.

 

That car shows that clean and simple is the best way to build a great mild custom.

 

Love it

"Hudson" Joe Buffardi @hudsonjoe49 Is who Kevan Got it from. Joe acquired it a while back, after it had changed hands several times and had been stored. It was missing a bunch of small bits and had been Neglected for sure, But Joe got it back to driving car and tracked down things like the Vette grille to get it looking more like it should. Joe had offered it up for sale a short time back, Glad to see it go to Mr Sledge

 

Cool car, neat history, great post!

 

What a fabulous new life for a fantastic historical custom. I have done a lot of bodywork in my life, but a sectioning job is an amazing feat. This is as slick and fabulous. Thanx for covering this gem!

 

@hudsonjoe49 photo from when he was putting it back together and driving it. Felt like the best “night train” shot

 

Always liked that one.

 

Stoked to be the new owner! My plan is to make it as nice as it was back in the day and drive the piss out of it!

 

Chop the bitch! Ok, you can now throw rotten vegetables and fruit.

 

Here's a pic I forgot I took at Muellers Muscle cars of Night Train before the restoration.

 

What a cool car with a great story! @Sledge well done on the purchase, I love your plans for it
