Hay Matt...Did you drive my old '39 112 coupe out to the motor city?
I was reading about the meet on the HET site just yesterday, and wondering how many of the old members from the 70's and 80's are still active. Folks like Carl Weber and the Gleydura clan come to mind. If you bump into any of them, or Jack Miller & Ken Poynter, tell them the old red head said "Hi".

 

Matt has a 39 112 coupe! Matt, did you drive it out here? Im in the process of building one!

Thanks

Mike

 

I spent the week there. It was awesome! Over 400 Hudson, Es***, and Terraplane vehicles showed for the event. There was a handful of modifieds there, not all Hamb friendly, but still impressive.

The 39 112 Coupe is my Uncle Dan's. Rich V. is one of its former owners (no kidding!) My Uncle is a purist so he kept it stock. Its a beautiful car.

 

I've been meaning to post pix from the National. My brother took 250+ pictures. I've been involved in the Hudson Es*** Terraplane Club my whole life. Hudsons are a family affair we have 5 of them between my dad, uncle my brother and myself. The Hudson club is part of our family through and through. This years national will go down as one of the most memorable experiences I have ever had. It was truly a week of "Hudson Heaven"

Matt,

Ive seen pics of your uncles 39 before. I actually use shots of that car for reference.
I really hope to be on the road next year!
Its great to see some younger people like myself involved in the Hudsons.
