    That makes me ever more jealous. I've always wanted to build a chitty replica, lol.

    That's the plan. I cringe every time I see it, under years of sawdust and junk, corroding away. It was fun to drive, although those tall tires really sap Pinto torque!

    Damn Brian. Do you just fall into this stuff? I'm moving to where you live and work where you work!

    Nice score (again) my friend.

    Those exhausts might be a mod done decades later, but I'm with Rich Venza on MAKE & ERA. It sure looks like a Hudson logo, and body style, double rear-mount spares resembles the Mercers and some other speedsters (runabouts) of the per-WWI era. Styling moved away from this after WWI, so I think Rich has you in the ballpark.

    Shoot, I should have read the whole thread before commenting! BUT, your brother created a pretty cool "tribute" kind of custom here. It's got that quick, pre-WWI speedster look.
