    I bought a NOS speedometer for a 52 or 53 step down Hudson. The part number is 565JT4. It has a black face with white numerals with chrome ring. Also, there is a tag tied to it with:



    53?



    238377



    63-2



    Can someone ID the year and model Hudson. Thanks for your help.

    Lee,
    If you have a picture of the item and are having trouble posting it, email it to me and I'll post it for you. If it was acquired on eBay and there is a photo with the auction, email me the link and if it is still active, I'll pull the photo and post it here.

    Thanks for identifying the speedometer as a 53 Hornet. The seller wasn't sure if it was a 52 or 53.

    I acquired the speedometer at this years National. I didn't have any real use for it. It was one of those "JUST GOTA HAVE IT" moments. My justification for buying it was, someday I will get a step down and I may need a new speedometer and being it was NOS, still in the original box, didn't help. Just had to have it.



    As for emailing pictures. I wouldn't know how to do that. In the past you have gratiously offered to post pictures of my PU if I would send the to you. I have photographs, but wouldn't know how to send them short of mailing them to you. I don't know if photographs can be posted on the computor.



    Thanks for offering.

    Np Lee - Just thought if you had them in digital format (from a modern camera), it would make it easier to identify the object.

    At one of the Hudson meets a gent with a 50 Hudson in need of a speedometer identified it as a 1950 speedometer and bought it for his Hudson. It finally found a good home.
