Customs My new ride 51 Hudson

Got this survivor, original 51 Hudson Hornet a few weeks ago. Inspired by @squirrel and his recent Hudson adventure, I thought I'd post up some pictures of my find on here.....love her lines, I definitely feel the 4 door is the looker with these Hudson step downs.
​

 

Congrats !

 

Well preserved example, what's the plan?

 

That's a "looker" alright!

Did you get a few cans of Hudsonite as part of the deal?

 

Anybody else remember “The Green Hornet” ?........

Looks like a nice sound survivor......congratulations on your find.

This might be a dumb question, but did those have a "factory chop"?

 

factory chop and channel....when you put it next to any other 1948 car

 

Plan is to, clean and buff and keep it as is then drive, drive, drive! Debating whether to go wide white walls or keep the black walls.

 

The back seat reminds me of a old movie theater!
Very nice......

 

Nice looking survivor Hudson. Congrats

 

Nope no Hudsonite with the car, but I did buy a few cans of the re-formulated Hudson snake oil from Wildrick Hudson parts

 

It's a beauty! I like your plan...

 

I wonder how many Hudson's have been bought after/inspired by Squirrel's road trip.
I know my gears are turning......

 

Beauty of a car by the way flim flam. Jealous.

 

I prefer the Club Coupes but that's just personal taste, you found a beautifully preserved example of a milestone car congrats.

 

When I sell my Mercury I might try to find a Hudson exactly like that.

 

Cool car.. When do you move in ???

 

I bought a 35 ford pickup from Member Bill J Harris several years ago. There where several Hudsons at the place where I picked up the 35 ford. Don't know if they are still there. Bib Overalls might know?

 

Congrats - big car needs big brakes

 

Especially when descending a mountain in overdrive

 

Nice car and with all the bells and whistles in the way of trim pieces.

 

Black wall tires look just right on that boat.

 

That appears to be in great original shape. Should be a fun ride.

 

clean car ..

drive the snot out of it and Njoy it

 

I think whitewalls could be done tastefully. . .

 

Solid looking survivor....have fun!

Thanks for that.....wide whites it is!
