Man I wished I lived in the US… What a cool car with potential!
Wow scrap metal 48, how cool, so it maybe the original steering wheel after all? Stupid that my search engine (not Google btw) only showed the...
The car was a one owner car, it belonged to Jade Rhodora who bought it new in 1949. She probably sold it to a wrecking yard or it may be sold via...
Not GM but I feel it’s close enough to mention: my latest addition is a Brougham ‘49 Hudson Super. Brougham is the Sedanet body style nomenclature...
It’s a good guess and it makes sense that it’s probably something as niche as a Hudson as it is hard to find, but some details are just off. The...
My ‘49 Hudson Brougham taildragger has a steering wheel that I do not know the origin of. It seems it’s not original to this Hudson if I have to...
This is my Sedanet. Still looking for the stone guards on both sides but I love it nonetheless.

It's absolutely perfect! I love your car even more than Hills' version because you kept the right details on it. Hope to see it IRL next year!
I'd say the same. That's my plan too. When it finally arrives, that is... It has been sitting in the harbour for over two weeks now... Ship already!
Hi Rock, I love your new car! It desperately needs decent wheels but I love the rest, even the interior. Luxurious! :)
Does your car have the M6 semi automatic that shifts electro-hydraulically and is that the reason why you want to keep the car 6V throughout?
Justin Hills '49er and seeing '49 Buick Sedanettes IRL are the sole reason I dream of these cars all the time. I've just bought one so this is one...
Kul! I'm just in the process of importing a stock '49 Buick Super Sedanette but wouldn't dare to hack it up... You've got balls and, luckily,...
Does anyone know in which Motor Trend from 1949 there is an article about the new 1949 Buicks? Since Motor Trend started in september of that year...
Wow, I hope there will be an update some day because this is stunning! I love the well thought of design. The fade is great, as well as the...
Nice project, following this! I also have a question for you but cannot send you a PM. Can you send me one?
Yes it has the M6 with Fluid Drive. The clutch pedal is extremely high set by the way. On the pedal there isn't 'safety clutch' printed on it...
I've been searching around and reading the Chrysler shop manual and suspect clutch chatter as being the problem. Because of the severity of the...
p.s. the sound is VERY loud, it's at least twice as loud as the engine which has a rotten muffler. I've never heard a failed water pump sound as...
Thanks for all the replies. To shed some extra light: The sound comes from BEHIND the engine or at least at the back (so bendix or fluid drive...
Hello fellow H.A.M.B.ers, after some tinkering I finally got my Chrysler up and running. Well, for the most that is. I found someone put ATF...
No curb feelers but I do have an extra accessory: [IMG] And I have a Unity follow spot laying around, didn't dare to drill holes (yet) though......
That's not Norrland's, it's mine. Those funky pieces are still on it. They're cheesy as hell but they came with the car and my current priorities...
I've got a '50 Soto as well and I was wondering if I could drop some questions here too since this topic is filled with knowledge. I just...
May 26th, damn, gotta work in China, not exactly next door, so I'd have to pass, alas...
I've got an owners manual and a shop manual but I didn't know for sure if there is / was a difference. We don't have Chevron in The Netherlands...
10w motor oil is very hard to get here. Some shops do have 10, so without the winter classification. Can I use that or do I really need to have 10w?
Well... A lot of people here are changing their cars to LPG-powered because LPG is very cheap (around $4,40 per gallon), so that saves you $5,10...
For what it's worth: I've got an old daily driver from the eighties with a thermostat that's hard to pull (you'd have to remove the pullies,...
