Luckily, I wasn't into Hudsons 30 years ago, so I bought a pretty nice '28 Model A coupe. The price has held up quite nicely, and in fact, I'm hoping to sell it this year for a couple thousand more than I paid for it! No telling how much of a bath I would have taken had I picked up that Hudson convertible!:rolleyes:
