Lets See Those Hudsons!

Here's one of my favorites...

 

Got a couple of Hudson projects going though I must admit, I'm not getting much shop time in on em lately. First is a 1942 Commodore Eight Coupe. I've posted it on here before. Gonna drop it down on the ground and update suspension and drivetrain although I'm still contemplating keeping the original straight eight and do some intake and header work on it.

Second, a '42 four door sedan was a parts car for the coupe but it's now very well on it's way to becoming a phantom sedan convertible.
Intend to make to appear 'factory' and not a hack job.

so thats the old hot rod hudson? growing up i couldnt get enough of that car. heres mine. id like to get some measurements of a 308 to see just how bad it would fit.

 

The Hudsons would have been at the show but they all broke down on the way.....

I've lusted after these trucks since I saw one for the first time 33 years ago.

I STILL want one.

1951 Pacemaker Coupe

 

Here's a '47 truck I had for a while. It was on a '53 Buick frame and still had the Buick straight 8 with a dynaflow. Sold it to a guy in Maryland.

Heres a customers 1950 Commodore 6 that hasn't been licensed since 1957, 42,000 miles & check out the phone # & date on the oil change stickers (thats 7/1955 & the phone is 6-9180!), going to make her stop, steer & run with a dual carb intake off a Hornet, it was a shame to wash the barn dust off it.
It came out of eastern Oregon & is super clean & rust free.

 

i think hudsons are pretty neat

 

My '37 Terraplane Model 71 Brougham.

 

Here is a cool Union 76 ad I found somewhere a few years ago, with a '37 TP in it! Notice, the WPA "A" gas ration sticker in the lower right windshield? The car has a 1942 California license plate on it.

 

I'm in awe. What a nice car!! Lippy

 

What year is this or more specifically the taillights?

48-51. Mines a 49.

 

Mine looks a bit different now..

 

Im in the process of building a 1939 Hudson 112 Coupe. I have a ways to go. I have a photo album in my profilee and I am documenting the build and covering Hudson events. Follow the link on my profile for some of that info.
This weekend is the start of the 2009 National Hudson Meet 100th Anniversary of Hudson Motor Cars in Pontiac MI. I will post pics and articles throughout the week.

 

My whole family will be there. Im sure there will be a few other HAMBERS there. We should have a HAMB meet and greet.

 

some cool cars on this thread!,,,,,,ive got a project 50 CLUB COUPE for sale (cheap),,see my classified ad for details......great sled potential...

 

Hey Matt. I can meet and Greet Sunday, or Monday for sure. Sunday there is a cruise in at Bakers in Milford MI. Its a great place to gather, lots of room for the cars and good food.
Monday I will be cruising the hotel parking lots!

These are the commodore lights...


Rich, I'll respectfully disagree. I'm pretty sure that 52-53 wasp used the similar but smaller tail lights as a hornet, which were horizontal lights directly on top of the bumper...

52 Wasp


52 Hornet


There's a good photo reference HERE

 

Any more pictures of this?

 

what grill is that, its the cats meow.

 

I stand corrected. Funny how time messes up the memory.

 

Here's mine.





It's teared down to pieces right know. Bodywork and interior is what's left.

 

One of these things is not like the others.........
Here's my '34 Hudson.
Sorry for the shitty pics.
