Terraplanes, Hudsons, and Essexes!!!

OK, I know there are a few HAMB'ers that have the fine, fine automobiles and trucks that the Hudson Motor Car Company produced from 1909 - 1957. Let's see 'em!

Here is my '37 Terraplane Model 71 Brougham, with a factory 212 Six and 3-speed with a later Hudson overdrive. I'm going to have the manifold split soon and add a set of dual exhausts with Smithy's. There is a '36 in Denver that has this set-up and sounds friggin' amazing!

 

Does yours have a pullout pickup box in the trunk?

 

No, that was only available in a coupe body. The trunk lid opened up, and the bed could be slid out to three different positions. Mine has the smooth, flat deck lid.

 

My dad's 49 Brougham All stock, Looking for another one to do a matching Custom

 

My Dad had a 37 (Hudson not Terraplane) with an "electric hand" on the column. I'll have to dig up a picture. My younger brother is still pissed my dad sold it ( he came in the hospital in it)

 

one of my all-time favorite designs. such gorgeous cars.

Mine needs a few things. But I hope to have it on the road in a few weeks.





edit: I just realized that this post was supposed to be for terraplanes only. Don't think mines a terraplane. SORRY!

 

Just brought it home a couple weekends ago. 28 Essex.


It might be a couple more weeks before I'm on the road though.

 

Its not mine, but some shots of one I did some work on a few years ago.

 

Custom? What could you do to improve on that?! Beautiful car.

 

my old pickup....sorry about the red rims

 

I've posted this a number of times, but what the heck. One more time won't hurt anyone. LOL

This is my '27 Essex pickup.


The view from the drivers seat.

 

Mine. 49 Brougham.







I tried to start a Hudson "Social Group" here in the groups section, but I was the only member for about a week...then I deleted the group. I can start another group if y'all are interested. I was going to put up some pics of custom Hudsons...I have hundreds.

 

That would be awesome. I'll join the group! Do it up!

 

Hey,

What, no Railtons pictured yet????

Swankey Devils C.C.

"Meanwhile, back aboard The Tainted Pork"

 

The Railtons will come after the Dover's and Brough Superiors are posted!!!!!

Hey Petritl any more pics of that 36 coupe??
thanks
Chevy....

 

Here's my '49 coupe. 308/Muncie 4-speed, 8in Ford rear. I still have lots of things planned. Just no time right now.





And here is my new neon sign I had a buddy of mine make.

 

thekid49 - NICE. Where did you find an adapter to mount your 308 to a Muncie 4-speed? I've got a 308 I plan on running in my coupe, but the cork clutch disk just doesn't float my boat.

HudsonCustom - When I saw all these Hudson sisters grouped together, I thought I'd like to add you guys to my friends list - but a group might work even better ... as long as the long lost bastard Essex were included!

 

Alright guys...I've created a HET group.

Add yourselves, and add some photos. I'll add some here shortly.
