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?

patrick66 · 07-14-2008, 11:40 PM

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)

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!

Gigantor · 07-15-2008, 01:06 PM

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

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

**GreggAz** · 07-15-2008, 01:16 PM

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

Boyd Who · 07-15-2008, 05:04 PM

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.

hudsoncustom · 07-15-2008, 05:18 PM

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.

100% Matt · 07-15-2008, 05:25 PM

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