    Hudson Terraplane ? Interesting design, IMO
    Can’t make out the lettering.
    I’ve seen others that have gauges on the sides of the Speedo.

    Stunning dash! Leave post for others.
     
  6. The Terraplane was the preferred getaway car for 1930-ish bank robbers. They would pay a cash premium for dealers to get them one in a rush.

    John Lee Hooker even sang a song called "Terraplane Blues".

    OK, I'll leave it.

    What year would that one I posted be? 1936?
    The gauges are probably obscured by the steering wheel (?)

    They had an official tagline back in the day: “On the sea that’s aquaplaning, in the air that’s aeroplaning, but on the land, in the traffic, on the hills, hot diggity dog, THAT’S TERRAPLANING“.

    Amelia Earhart was an official representative for the brand.

    How 1930's can you get?:D
