poor Hudson...it's been saved I guess...but they could have built the same ch***is with any camaro, mustang, chevelle, duster, etc. body

 

This Hudson was originally built by the Vanderbeck brothers 20 years ago, back when not many people had much of an interest in a Hudson like this. The car was far from a pristine example when they acquired it.
Butch and Kevin have stuck with this car through all these years making changes too numerous to count. They fought with control problems and actually changed the ch***is several times. Not many guys would have stuck with it like these guys did.
The Hudson is certainly different and, quite honestly, a welcome sight in the sea of look-a-like cars out there.
Here is a shot of the Hudson back when they first started campaigning it in 1990-91.

 

Super bad *** car, screw the restoration. This is a real treat to see this sweet body style doing the hot dance down the strip. I love it! Rock on~sololobo~

 

yes, it's pretty cool to see it fly. i would rather watch it than any camaro or mustang.

 

my buddy's 49, and his sons 47

 

I barfed when I heard it had a chevy engine in it (about 8 seconds into the video)

not my thing ether, big block bent 8, but i understand they are running it. a 308 would be cooler, but prob not up to the task.

 

Did Bill Abate work on this body, its looks like one that was at Macungie about that time frame.

 

Bill might have helped out some on this car, but too many years have p***ed for me to recall.
