    Did it half run when parked?
     
  5. Paul, I'm going to go out on a limb and say that all the Hudson built vehicles had the same body tag. My '31 Es*** coach had one.
    There's plenty of HET guys here that can verify or blast me on that!
     
  6. R U going to chop it ?? >>>>.

    Ha ha, you guys have some great comments just like I knew you would. Here is the story. My helper Adam was fishing at the river not far from where he lives and he is always telling me about cars that were pushed into the river bank to protect the soil from washing away in some areas. So last summer he and his buddy drank a bunch of beer and decided to dig out a tudor sedan with suicide doors that they kinda liked. They worked on it for like 3 weekends digging the sand and dirt away and drinking more beer, and etc. He was giving me updates and telling me he thought he could save the whole body (there was no frame under it) because it still looked good. So after they finally get it carried out of there the rest of the car just literally crumbled away because it was paper thin. Only the side you see here is still good because it was sticking outside and not buried. He got tired of looking at it after about a year and sold it to me yesterday. I think it would make a cool sign or wallhanger. We have a new BBQ joint opening up here in my small town this summer and the owner is a car guy. I might let him have it if he wants it for decoration. If not, I will make a sign out of it or find it a new home. Anyway, the next time you see one of those river bank cars and wonder if it is worth digging out, just ask yourself if you want half of a car or not. :)

    Photoshop? What's Photoshop? LOL Actually its not too hard. You can go to Photoshop.com and download a 30 day free trial like I did. It takes some patience, but I figured it out and I'm no rocket scientist.

    My thinking was to do so with a late model car; easier to balance. ;)

    I think it would make great garage art, ***uming you've got a large enough garage.

    Years back I found a farmers grove that had the remains of what appeared to be a war s**** drive. All the body were cut like yours. The rears were folded in, each side folded down onto the floor. The pile was 50-75 feet in diameter and 12' tall. I could see lots of good stuff, went back a few years later and it was all gone....Probably 33/34 three windows at the bottom....In the middle....

    I would like to know exactly what it is but it's not a big deal. I've got half a notion to paint "Poverty Flats" on it and hang it on the garage. <center>

    You got way more cool stuff than most museums.....I'm half mad just thinking about it.
     
  27. I just half to ask. Do you need half a frame, and/or half of a grill shell?
