Mystery Car

mjmiller1824gmailcom — Fri, 20 Jul 2012 19:05:56 +0000

I'm looking for information on a particular car. I can't find a picture of it online and I haven't been able to get close enough to see what its badge says. Its very odd looking. It has 8 or 10 round lights on the back, some larger ones on the outside and smaller ones towards the center. Its obviously from the late 70s or early 80s. It has porthole shaped opera windows and the shape resembles a number of the uglier AMCs from that era but it doesn't actually match any of the AMCs I've found. If anyone could help identify the car I would appreciate it.

pre war car operation

cailynne — Tue, 17 Jul 2012 19:05:31 +0000

Hi All,

I was looking through some Hemmings drive reports lately and they started with 20's Hudsons. Reading through the book I was wondering if anyone with the older cars could put up videos on how they get these older cars started and basic maintainance on them.
I have a 49 but it is fairly easy with cars in this age group to figure out how to operate them. I don't really have anyone in my area with older cars to show what it takes to get them going.
I figured it might be a good idea to have something to at least show what steps a person must do to run the older cars. If someone with no knowledge of how to do it has a video they can watch... if there is no direct way for them to learn from a previous owner or someone in the know, they won't immediately mess up and get discouraged or in worst case damage a car unintentionally.
Thanks,
Lisa

"Activity" section

Kdancy — Wed, 18 Jul 2012 07:30:21 +0000

I just found a post made to me a couple of days ago, in the Activity section. Not in my "inbox" or the "Discussions" section.
This is strange--- so, do we have to go to all three forum sections to see if a post has been responded to or a PM sent?

Search problem

Lee ODell — Fri, 13 Jul 2012 19:06:17 +0000

When I type something I want to search about Hudsons I keep getting the latest posts on the forum. Anyone have a solution to this problem?

2012 Hemmings Motor News Great Race

csymaxonyahoocom — Thu, 12 Jul 2012 13:25:26 +0000

Hey All,
For my summer internship with the Historic Vehicle Association (www.historicvehicle.org) I went along on the 2012 Hemmings Motor News Great Race. The 2300 mile race began in Traverse City, Michigan and wound its way North and then East through Ontario, back down into the States in New York, through Pennsylvania, Ohio and concluded in Dearborn, MI at the Henry Ford Museum!

We began the race in a 1954 Oldsmobile Super 88 that was aptly named "Miss Adventure." The car was obviously a V8 but had the very rare option of being backed by a three speed manual transmission. As cool as this was it would lead to our eventual exit as many problems existed within the shift mechanism in the column.

Living up to its name, we didn't make it too far into the race before its continued mechanical problems put us out of the race.

Despite this, we continued following along on the race in our Promo vehicle, photographing the event and doing video's for our This Car Matters movement.

Check out these pictures I took and if you would like to see more, head on over to our Facebook page!

If you would like to read more about our trials and tribulations as rookie competitors in this 2300 mile journey check out our race blog at:

Thanks everybody!

Hudson parts for sale

kandmhoward42gmailcom — Wed, 11 Jul 2012 17:28:35 +0000

Hi all,

This is kind of a sales ad, so if this is in the wrong place, or inappropriate here, accept my apologies and please remove it if you like. I'm new around here, and don't quite know the rules yet. I wanted to place this in the classifieds, but it looked like that was all complete cars, and that's not what we have.
We have a few parts for a Hudson Super 8 that we'd like to sell. It's all bodywork, in excellent shape, carefully removed from a Hudson Wasp. Pictures and detailed descriptions for everything are available. We can ship anywhere, or if you live near Chicago, you could come check them out in person. We have exterior window trim for all four windows, bumper brackets, gas tank straps, vent windows, the rear beltline(in amazing shape), headliner bows, and the front compartment window regulators.
We're selling these on behalf of a Hudson owner, who has finished his restoration and doesn't need them any more. We'd all like to see these parts go to a good home. Anybody interested?

why not add location to avatar ?

Kdancy — Sat, 30 Jun 2012 14:11:07 +0000

Why can't "location" of poster member be added to the avatar like many other forum boards?
This would save a lot of extra post when some one is selling or looking for items.

Need help identifying year of car in photograph

tedschaargmailcom — Fri, 08 Jun 2012 15:27:48 +0000

I'm a freelance writer working on a story. One of the photos I'm using includes what looks like a 50s car to me, but the back of the photograph states it was taken in 1949. I've attached a blow-up from the photo. It's not clear but I'm hoping someone on the forum will recognize the car and be able to pinpoint the year. Thanks, Ted

Images in posts

ScottFitzgerald — Sun, 17 Jun 2012 22:40:41 +0000

Just a note on the images in posts. Currently, it's a little broken, and I've marked it down for a fix. But you are still able to insert images inside a post.

Inserting images inside your posts

In case you want to know how to do this, after uploading your images, roll your mouse over where the thumbnails are (or should be), and you'll see an option to 'Insert image'. Click that phrase, and a line of code will appear in your post, which, when you save your post, will result in a resized image appearing inside your post.

Or, simply upload images and leave as is. Then, after saving your post, all readers need do is click the thumbnail to see the full image.

Sign In problem

Lee ODell — Tue, 12 Jun 2012 17:47:28 +0000

For the past two days when I tried to sign in to the forum this page came up:

404 Not Found
______________
nginx/0.7.67

I tried all the sign ins I could find and the same page comes up.

I eventually was going to try reregistering today. But when I clicked on "Apply for Membership" or "Join Now! Register" I then scrolled down and on the bottom left I saw another sign in by "I am already a member". I clicked on this sign in and I was able to sign in to the forum. I thought the problem was solved but after turning off computor and when I returned to the computor again later on the same problem showed up.

So if anyone else is having this problem, try doing what I did to sign in. Hopefully the glitch will be fixed soon

LeMay - America's Car Museum

ScottFitzgerald — Wed, 06 Jun 2012 01:09:53 +0000

I see after a long plan/build, that the LeMay - America's Car Museum is now open. Anyone here get along to it yet, or planning to?

In researching the article below I see that they have a least a few Hudsons (1956 Hudson Hornet Custom sedan, 1909 Hudson Model 20 Roadster, Hudson 8 to name a few) in the collection, but nothing from the marque is currently on show.

Can you help me ID these tail lights?

marcgyver77ga — Fri, 01 Jun 2012 17:03:22 +0000

I am trying to ID what vehicle that these tail lights go on. The only information on the lens is: "SAE STDBR 67", "GUIDE 68" & the "GUIDE" logo. The chrome part does not have any stamping on it.

See attached pictures.

Any help will be appreciated.
Thank you,

P.S. The center lens is Red... but I'm not for sure that they are tail lights though.

What are these things?

I'm a part time car junkie and a rest of the time photographer. A photog friend snapped this image while motoring around and forgot to check what kind of car it is. It's beyond me to identify it and I'd really appreciate any help you all can give me. Thank you!!!
