I located another one of these Railton Sports Sedans, and inspected it for an interested buyer in the Denver CO area. I recall that I could not fold my lanky 6'3" frame into the drivers seat....the roof was too low, the floor too high, dash and steering wheel set so close to the seat, the seat was so low to the floor that my knees would have been jammed into steering wheel making operation of the clutch pedal nearly impossible. I think these cars belonged to folks that were chauffeured in them by hired, retired jockeys. You know, the short , wiry, compact guys that rode race horses for a living .....

Wow, that was funny, I posted at the same time that Richard did and my post disapeared?
Here was what I said:

Ken, Ken, Ken--If my wife were to read this post she would say, "Now say something nice." Ken, if the car you saw was a 36 Railton, as I expect that it was (mine is the only Hudson Stratton Sport Saloon in America) They might have made 3 or 4 in the Coachcraft run with the waterfall grill or Hudson front end. Anyway, the Hudson Stratton Sport Saloon has a bit more head room. I can wear my 10-gallon cowboy hat with no problem. My son is 6'4" and he does just fine in the car. I did sit in a 36 Railton Saloon in Oklahoma City and that was a bit of a tighter fit.

Alex is quite wrong, the steering wheel is on the RIGHT side!

No, Zach's car is in the Denver area, was redone in early 2000. I found and inspected the car in Ardmore , OK in the 1990's. Pete Booz will know more about it.....It was Pete who asked me to go look at it on Zach's behalf.
