1949 Hudson Commodore build

Been after this particular hudson for almost a year when the chance came down to trade a truck for it i jumped on it. Picked her up(dubbed Betsy) with no motor and interior shot pretty good. Got a SBC 350 sadly not the original super six or 8 but it'll work for now. Oh yeah she's my daily driver.

Redid the rear doors with the beautiful red marble my wife and I found. Also recovered the dashboard, installed a new th350 trans with the 350.
Added the shifter,interior light and red accents on the body.
Haven't gotten quite as far as i want yet but as any gearhead full time mechanic knows. Your car is the last one to get done.

 

I would get a battery box if your gonna ride around with a gas can in your trunk

 

I love those Hudson's. I hope you will paint it shiny when you can afford to, that car deserves it.

 

yeah she's going to be a beautiful diamond black, i already got the battery box installed
