There's some major stickers on this , the last car show I was at , I'm sitting on my chair sweating my ass off parked in the sun next to my all black hudson, and I hear from under the hood , Oh that's not original , somebody must have added that, so I get out of my chair to see what he's talking about, seeing as the only thing not original is my 12 volt system and one wire alternator, he's pointing to the crazy looking hudson air filter, I said yes it's a original, they had allot of times it as a option too , but I've thought about it putting a different motor in it, but it is nice keeping it original as I can, even tho some parts can be a pain to track down some times.Stock or modified can be something you ponder , what it boils down too is what your happy with.
