'37 Terraplane Truck on eBay
-
Was just checking out eBay, and lo and behold we now have a 1937 (looks like a '38 grill to me) Terraplane listed. See the URL below:

They really don't give many mechanical details, but at least the pictures that are included in the listing look pretty good.

Yup, looks like a 1938 Hudson Terraplane to me!
I've seen pictures of this truck before - probably here. Would be interesting to see photos of the interior, engine bay and bed. Have asked the seller, but doubt if they will post any additional photos. -
From what I can tell, there was a spat between the last potential buyer and the seller. Looks like it had sold for 15K and there was some mechanical issues with brakes...
You can tell by the sellers description that it is vague and you get what you get. Seller sounds a bit crude. -
Looks like a good buy at 15K. I could handle a few problems at that price--unless it had a 225 Dodge slant six in it?Brownie
-
I dunno.... That color doesn't look "factory" to me. And, a truck would never have had fender skirts. Not pure enough for my tastes. (LOL!)
-
Well, the seller acknowledges it is a '38, and also indicates that they will post more photos - interior, engine compartment and bed...
-
Looks like someone modified the dash with a stepdown cluster. Looks pretty good in there.
-
This is a very good looking truck. I think the fender skirts make the truck look longer, and the stepdown instrument cluster gives it a classie appearance. It is one of my favorite Hudson features. It should fetch a good price.
That brody knob on the steering wheel, reminded me of a story about my grandfather.
Picture my grandfather with a big belly, and short arms. He climbs into his teenage sons car to go to town with that knob sticking out from the wheel. Well, when he made a turn, the brody knob got cot in his shirt and almost wrecked his sons, first car.
Grandpa made sure the knob, never returned to that steering wheel.
Have a good day. Lee -
From the outside, it looks very nice.
Not complaining mind you, but from the inside, Eh...
Pedals (brake, gas) are not well positioned, and look like they were put in as an afterthought, as does the wiring -
Same goes under the hood...
Interior color looks more like a pink or off salmon. I thought it was just the lighting, but the interior windshield trim appears correct for the exterior...
Only photo I've seen of the rear. Looks like the interior of the bed has been covered with some type of spray-on bed liner, and I don't see any evidence of a tailgate...

38 Grill, the SN?? is not registered with the club, so can't help ya there. 51/52 instrument pod, gereric V8, automatic. Looks like a fairly good job.
Might be popular with the biker/rat rod crowd. You're safe, I'm not biddin on it. -
I looked over the truck with a fine eye and then filled in the form so I could be the winner and take it and the bike home last year at the Harley Dealership. I was quite impressed. I stopped in at the Bar B Que across the parking lot and had lunch (I recommend it) and went back and looked at the truck again--hunger might have interfered with my judgement because I was not as impressed. It is an eye catcher but far from original as the new photo's show. This would be a great tour car and a lot of fun to have in your collection. Alas, I did not win it--so when it comes to cash, I'll spend it elsewhere....Brownie

Same here - I'm not interested in bidding on this one in its current configuration. If I was looking for a project, maybe - but it is already too expensive... If I was looking for a good '38, I'd probably 'take my time' and find something more original. -
BTW - There is another '38 Hudson Terraplane pickup coming up for auction this week! (RM Auctions)
