Dee's 51 C8 Cp comes home
-
Well, yesterday was the BIG day. Dee Kruzan took delivery of his newly refurbished (not restored) '51 C8 Cp. He may have been cold, but he surely does appear proud....as well he might!! What a fabulous looking car....and Dee looks ok too! ...LOL!

Aaron, My pastor and I have already discussed that license plate. Note that the second group of numbers nearly duplicates the first! Now, that might well be a problem if the plate bore that number twice! If I break a piston or throw a rod, I'm taking the plate off! LOL Dee -
I'm not too sure about the lic. plate either, but that can be changed easy enough. I do like the car and the color though! Beautiful car!
I'm a little curious about the wheel color. I noticed that Bill Albright also does his wheels in a pale yellow color. Is that a factory option, no matter the body color? Or just personal preferance? Either way it's an awesome looking car. I was just wondering. -
Great looking car , wish it was me in the pic with it !!

In 1951 the wheels would have been body color - no option that I am aware of for wheel colors in 1951 thru 1954

Actually I think it's a pretty tough sounding thing, if you were racing it like a Hudson Hornet your rivals would be like "Oh no we can't beat the devil car!!" haha. What was the name of that one Hornet? "The satan of synamar (sp?)"
whatever. 666 -

1951 was the only year in which Hudson wheels were offered in Red, Yellow, or Body Color. Look it up.Arkie -
It must have been something to see a row of these sitting at the dealer.
DETROIT ARE YOU LISTNING
There isn't a single car thats come out of Detroit in the last 30 years that would look this good @ 58 years old! -

The wheel color is the only color change we made on the '51. It originally had red wheels (not body color Toro Red), and they just didn't complement the Toro Red. Chris echoes Arkiejazz's comment that 1951 was the year the three wheel colors were options. Dee -
Who cares if yellow is correct or not? It looks good, the owner digs it, and that's ALL that matters!
