Color of '54 Hydraulic Jack?

    Does anyone have a photo of an original Hudson hydraulic jack - possible option in '54? A historically-inclined, prospective member has put this question to me - he'd like to get the color just right.



    Hudsonly,

    How's this. It looks like a Ford blue, but maybe a little darker. (I don't know if the color has darkened over the years though) The handle is blue also.

    Hello Hudman51 (AKA JON), I was at the "Vintage Coach" last Friday, Jason had 4 -5 of these jacks there. Give Jason a call about the color. Victor Z

    I was told that there is a differance between the stepdown and pre stepdown jacks. Something about the hook. Also there is a differance in the label.



    The ones that I have are all the same as in the pictures above.

    There was one in the garage of my house when I moved in. I considered it an omen. It was the same color as the one pictured (blue) and looked to have a little bit of a metallic tint to the paint.

    Jon,



    Since we had a perfect response, is the "prospective member" now a member?

    Thanks, all, for the hudson hydraulic jack photo and confirming input. And, John, I'll be at the printing museum on the 30th and bring my application.



    Best, Gordon
