    This is a great video with the Hudson right at the start of the video absolutely caning it sideways, great engine sound too.

    This is very cool. The Hudson looked like it was kicking butt compared to some of the others.



    Anyone here know the car?

    I saved that on my youtube favorites. Looks tough going up that hill.

    Incidentally I just saw a short article in January Hemmings about a '47 Pickup restoration the writer of that article aquired for waaaay more than he should've for a project. Page 18 I think.

    This is not a Hudson, but for the best hill climb driving I have ever seen this is fantastic, a very hot Escort nicely setup and fastest time of the day.
