They look like '52 - '53 but I can't see the photo that well.
I don't remember who wrote it but I distinctly remember it. We would get into a reading circle and everybody was to read from the story assigned...
Hudson offered power brakes in 1954. Maybe if you could get the pedal and bracket from one of those the pedal part might be near to a bolt-on....
I got lucky. Not only did I take typing in high school (to get out of gym class), but in the late 70s my housemate noticed my gift of logic when...
When I was in my 20s I had a '59 sedan with a six and a stick, and no power anything. It was a nice driving car. My dad had a very clean '66 sedan...
I have a Hudson hydramatic in unknown condition but should be considered a core. I also have a GMC hydramatic with a Hudson tailshaft installed,...
It's actually a really nice, light clutch and was probably notably better than others in the earlier years. But by 1951 there was no reason to...
Very enjoyable story. These are great cars that can keep up with traffic easily and have great ride and handling. More people should drive them :)...
I'm going to stick my big nose in again. The 4.11 rear was actually an option on overdrive cars and standard on non-od cars, so it will surely...
Oh Jeez! You have a Hollywood and some ass rolled it down a hill? That makes me cry. I know a lot of the parts are Hollywood-specific so hopefully...
By which I mean the tubes that connect to the automatic chokes, not the risers.
I'm going to go out on a small limb and say the only difference between the Twin-H manifold and the regular one is that the Twin-H has two ports...
You will enjoy that heater. It will roast you. You rarely have to use the heater fan unless you need defrost (which is pretty poor) because all...
That is SWEET!
Interestingly enough, the car/truck used in the movie "Grapes of Wrath" was a Hudson. That car still exists.
I hear ya on the wagons. My OT '94 Roadmaster wagon is really in pretty nice shape and I can't take it out without a 20-something wanting to buy it.
I have seen quite a few Hornet-powered Jets at Hudson meets over the years. Some of them look pretty "factory" under the hood. I've been told that...
Do yourself a favor and replace the timing chain and at least inspect the brass oil pump gear. The Hudson is a timing chain stretcher and the oil...
The "controversial" part is that all those Hudson Jets were running a Hornet engine. The stock Jet engine was 202 cubic inches and had high...
I'll probably get flamed, but the 8-volt solution is not too bad. We used 8 volts on out last Hudson Hornet and the starting was much improved, as...
Does anybody know what the deal is with that mid-engine Hudson? I'd love to know more about that ...
I think, going by memory, they are the same as the shoes on the Hudson Hornets that I had. If so, those shoes are unique to the Pontiac, the...
I have a '94 Roadmaster wagon and for some reason it is my favorite car that I've ever owned. I think because, to paraphrase the Hagerty magazine...
Did you say 1994 Roadmaster? :)
During WW2, German aircraft engines were often fitted with methanol/water injection to allow more boost. It apparently worked well. I think they...
Stock Hudson pistons have a pin in them that fits the notch in the rings to keep them from rotating. I think Rolls Royce did that too. I doubt...
Your Essex was a product of the Hudson Motor Car Company and has no relationship to Chrysler, per se. It was a low-priced car and sold very well....
Well, if you decide not to use the Hudson, remember that you have what looks like a complete Twin-H manifold with all the linkage and you can sell...
I sold a 2012 Focus while I was still upside-down on it because I literally could not stand to drive it another mile. Bought a 2007 Grandma...
Look up British Railton sports cars from the 30s. Some were built with Hudson 6 or 8 cylinder engines and some of the sixes were supercharged from...
