Durham Limo at the Nationals
-
Here are a few pics of the Durham Limo. It is my understanding that it is going to be auctioned at Auburn. Expected reserve price is $48,000. Also included a couple of other pics of some nice cars.

Have to agree with Sam, can't imagine Ed buying it for the purpose of resale.

I'm glad it's going to a good caring home. Ed seems to be assembling quite the collection of rare and wonderful Hudson's. I wonder if he's planning on going head to head with Hostetler's collection? hahaha

Where do these rumors come from? I would doubt I would be interested in selling the car for 48,000 having just paid 66,000 but I guess I would get some tax relief on that kind of sale. To date I have 72,000 in the car. There is no way to hide what was paid at auction so I might as well put the facts out there.
Seriously though it is a beautiful car and I am excited to own it. It is a great piece of history, and it deserves to be back in the HET family. It will no longer be tucked away in a museum or on a ship headed to some foreign country. Is it worth that kind of money? What price to preserve history? I am only the caretaker for a few more years, then someone else will have to decide if they want to step to the plate. Ed -

The next item you need to get is a tractor trailer to get ALL your great Hudson products to show at one time. Great collection. Ron -

Yes, and thank you so much for that!! If and when the time comes for a new caretaker, I'm sure we could find someone willing to fly the flag for the rest of us, (me included)!
