I am selling my 1949 Super Six on EBAY. The listing should appear in the next few hours. If any of you folks are interested in seeing the car I live in Columbia, Maryland. You can reach me at 410-707-0822.

Here is my description of the car and everything I have done on the car in the last few years:

I am selling my 1949 Super Six Hudson. I have owned the car for about 2.5 years. The speedometer shows 58,000 miles and I believe that may be the original mileage. After looking at the paperwork that came with the car, I appear to be the third owner.

I have the original owner’s manual and the completed service policy. The car was a Pennsylvania car its entire life. The car has no rust issues. The car was repainted its original two-tone gray within the last ten years. The interior was redone in gray cloth with black carpet. I added four seat belts after I purchased the car. The car is a standard transmission with no overdrive and has the L-head six cylinder engine rated at 121 horsepower. The car has working directional lights, radio and heater.

Here are the things I have done to the car since purchase: replaced the complete clutch, flywheel and starter; rebuilt speedometer and replaced cable; rebuilt fuel pump and carburetor; replaced voltage regulator and battery; rebuilt and refurbished radio; complete new wiring harness (6 volt); rebuilt heater control valves and installed new heater fan motor; rebuilt brakes and added rebuilt master cylinder; converted distributor to solid state (Petronix kit); added hidden security “kill switch”; added amber factory fog lamps
The only item not working on the car is the clock. The original chrome needs to be replated in the next few years but has no corrosion at this time. There is some minor pitting on the exterior door handles and a few other places.
The car runs great! I store the car during winter months and wait until all winter salt and chemicals are off the road before driving in the spring. I drive the car as much as I can during good weather. The Hudson is my car of choice for making grocery runs because of its enormous backseat.

I have repaired every issue I found on the car since purchase. The car is fully road ready and can be driven with confidence. If you live in the Maryland area I encourage you to come see the car in person. The car is not a show car but is in wonderful condition for a 60 plus year old car. If you want to find out more about Hudsons, I recommend you go to the Hudson-Essex-Terraplane (HET) Club website at www.HETCLUB.org and take a look at the information available on these wonderful cars. Parts support for the Hudson has not been a big issue. Many of the key vendors for parts are also HET Club members and are a wonderful group of people always eager to share their knowledge with another Hudson owner.

I am asking $12,500 for the car.

Thanks,
