I'm looking at possibly picking up a 1937 Hudson. Its a 2 dr sedan. Anybody out there have any pics of one thats been rodded? I'm still on the fence about this, I need a little insperation! Sorry i dont have any pics to give you guys an idea of what it looks like, I'm a slacker. Thanks in advance....
Both Hudson and Terraplane shared the same basic body shell in '37. Do a Google image search and I'm sure you'll find some. They epitomize the term FAT FENDERED better than any Ford or Chevy.
Great cars-ran exceptionally fast in spite of the 212" engine. They run even better with 308" Hornets in them.

here are a couple of recent 37's from EBay.. Good lookin' cars.. Very, very, ...Bulbous. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ih=006&sspagename=STRK%3AMEWA%3AIT&viewitem=&item=160283259822&rd=1" and http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/e...STRK:MEWA:IT&viewitem=&item=160280832993&rd=1
A buddy of mine just picked up two Hudson Terraplanes from his dad's field in PA. Those are great looking cars and would make an even better traditional style looking hot rod. He wants to chop one of them up but I keep trying to steer him in the direction of making it a stock looking classic rod. Great body lines IMO
Icebreaker's picture of the 37 terraplane pick up is the shits! I don't think I've ever seen one before..... but I want one!
