LOOK what I found and bought!! Its a HUDSON

Hi All,

Yesterday I went to look at a friend's bunch of cars, photos will be in another thread.

As a side trip, I knew of this 1949 Hudson Super 6 and went for a look see. The car has been sitting in a garage for a few years, so it wasn't running, but it will no doubt fire with a couple of hours work.

In reality...this car was too good to pass up, so I had to buy it. It is all original from top to bottom, paint is shiny, but cracked...still looks presentable...Interior...incredible!! Check out the dash and upholstery. Engine is clean and looks ready to run. Check out the pics...they will explain it better than I can, and I got a Sunvisor with it!!!

I have no idea what I'm going to do with it at this point, but what a cruiser...and its original!!!LOL.

Hey you Hudson Guys and Gals, let me know what you think. I think it is SWEET...what a neat piece.

Nice !!

 

Cool as it gets man!!!

 

Gotta like those Hudson dashes. True class. Good find, have fun!!

 

Always liked those Hudsons.

 

that is a great car....Congrats!

 

That brings back memories. The only friend with a drivers license had one in high school. It was great for chauffeuring around a bunch of teenagers. There was one family on my walk to elementary school that had a 4dr and a coupe. (it was up hill both ways) I liked the coupe.

 

......Sweet......Couple guys in our club have Hudson's........they make a nice ride.........You did alright ...good buy......Big Bad John

 

That's gorgeous .... great score!

 

Very nice original. I had a '49 Super 6 coupe that was the same color as the upper color on yours. Your car is in better shape than mine was and that was 25 years ago.

 

yum!

 

Very nice, love the Commodore steering wheel

 

Nice score! It looks like its in nice shape!!

 

Years ago (!957) I rode to Boy Scout camp in one of those that my scout master owned and believe it or not my scout masters name was ,You guested it "Mr.Hudson"!!!!! LOL Tom (Tired Old Man)

 

I would love to get a Hudson some day.

 

I know what I'd do with it----------I'd leave it just as it is, and drive it! Nice car!

 

What a score...that thing is awesome!

 

One of the best I have ever seen that wasn't restored. You did good!

 

Wow, beautiful shape. Someone stored it very well over the years. Leave it as-is; "they
are original only once......."

 

WoW that is very nice .

 

Beauty!! Clean, leave it alone and drive it. Originals are hard to find. And they are only original once.

 

very nice lookin hudson great score

 

While you're getting it running, be sure to check and/or change the clutch oil.
If you're a Hudson guy you know what I'm talking about...if not do some homework.

 

Wow! That one is definitely on my list!

 

Congrats- that's a great find and one of the few really good looking "more doors" ever made!

Have fun stepping down!

 

Beautiful score!

 

your selling your 40 coupe to buy a 4 door hudson?

did you bump your head???

 

Chop it!!!!!!!!!!

 

All you need now is to find Ms. Daisy!

 

HAHAHA...Coupe is not going anywhere!! This Hudson is the Shitz though.

Thanks for all the great comments, and thanks Rich (Venza) I will check the clutch.
