    look at a picture of a 1948 Hudson,then look at a picture of a 1948 Mercury,then tell me who had the sleeker body profile? :confused:

    the "stepdown" Hudsons were chopped and channeled from the factory,so drop in an engine,lower the suspension,and enjoy :D
     
  6. Check the rear half of the frame out, they rust there. But was it me I'd be posting about what I scored for $300 - motors you can get.
     
  7. buy a hudson to make it look like a merc? uh no. buy a hudson so you can chuckle at the poor merc owners.
     
  8. If it's a 4-door it's well worth the three bills...if it's a coupe, it's worth twice or three times the money, if it's a convertable, it aint worth nuttin, so I'll do you a favor and come take it off your hands.

    I think the word you are looking for is "are". And try just a little punctuation, makes things easier to read.

    i would guess that a hardtop is a prety rare car.
    just in s**** the car is worth at least twice what you can get it for...id say it's pretty much a no brainer.

    No, a Merc is built to resemble a Hudson. The Hudson already has a low roofline, short windows, and all the goodies you have to chop the **** out of a Merc to achieve! Besides, the Stepdown Hudson you are looking at, debuted in the 1948 model year. The desired Merc (a Hudson almost-look-a-like!) came out in 1949. Mercury was the copycat.

    Oh, BTW, BUILD the Hudson!!!

    Hey, gottalotta****, where are you at in Oklahoma??? PM me! I am a fellow Hudson owner - with some '53 parts!

    Better leave it a Hudson... those cars are gorgeous the way they are. But customized they look even better. Just dont try to make it something its not.

    Here is one I digitally customized some time ago... This car already was a mild custom when....

    Then I chopped the top, created curved B-pillars, smoothed body and grille and a few other minor mods...

  18. Hollywood Hardtops are one of the most desired Hudsons after the converts. Even if you don't want to build it yourself, you will have no problem finding a hard core Hudson guy to take it off your hands at a nice profit.

    This custom Hollywood was at the HET National in Detroit about 20 years ago. It was probably built in the 60's.
