Lets See Those Hudsons!

The wheelbase is shorter on a Pacemaker/Wasp than a Commodore or Hornet. The roof line has zip to do with the model, since Pacemakers, Commodores, Wasps and Hornets were ALL available as coupes, Broughams (more sloped roofline than a coupe, in a two-door), four-door sedans, and convertibles.

The front sheetmetal (fenders and hood) are shorter on the Pacemaker/Wasp, as well. The rest of the body from the cowl back is the same size as the senior cars.

 

Got any more pics of this, I have the same saloon model thats been cut in half (not by me) so would like to see the rear of the cab.

 

See profile pic....I am a Hudson

Had a couple come to a demo i was giving who sang bluegrass. They sang the Hudson Hornet song. I had never heard it before. It is about the car to. Also my grand nephew's name is Hudson. Lest you think he was named after the river let me correct you. His older sister's name is Chrysler.

Here are some picture of my '49 Hudson Brougham. I also own two other Hudsons a '49 Super 6 Sedan and a '54 Hornet Sedan. I grew up in the back seat of my Dads '48 Hudson. My grandfather also drove a 1930 Hudson.

Whoa that made me read it again!!! I thought Some girls name was Chrysler Don!!! Kool Hudson all... My buddy has a chopped 52 but hes a lazy ass and wont do anything with it... love the car - named my son Hudson

 

Hey All....Help me with this? A fellow HAMBer sent me a message...after I said that I was selling the Hudson to help with the 40 Coupe rebuild.

"You better make sure you really like that Ford ...before you sell that Hudson"

What am I missing about these Hudsons?????

 

Hudsons are a different beast with an aura all their own. And a low profile that practically one-ups Mercs, even stock. I wish I hadn't had to sell my '50 Super Six 262 to finish school. But, damn! I have fond memories of driving and working on one great machine.

 

Here's mine 1946 super 8 with a 454/PG w/trans brake/4:56 narrowed 9"/tri:4 link/12 point cage, etc...

 

All Hudsons are cool!! John

 

46 Pickup -- Chevy 350.700R great driver --

was a push truck at 2010 Winternationals --

- lots of fun miles and smiles

 

I came home from the hospital in this 49 and another pic of my pop's car

 

Here's mine, lowered 2" in the back and one coil removed from the front...



Here's my dad with the same car when new...



Here's my Truck ...



Love the Hudsons

 

Here's some pics of my dad's 1930 Hudson Super 8. Found this thing a while back, sitting in the barn where it was parked back in 1946. Well, at least that's what the steel tags on the plates said.

 

Saw this one at GNRS. Real bitchin car

 

Thought it would be good to resurface this one to see how many new Hudson owners on the HAMB now and include my 53 Super Wasp.
