    Here is what was posted on this forum last June (2010)


    I know a lot of us have been wondering what's going on with Bill and Charlies Antique Auto (the present owners of Ken and Kay Ammans vast Hudson parts stash), Well I went over ther today to buy a couple parts and to see what is going on. I had about an hour long discussion with the owner Chip Eldredge. He told me that Mike, the guy who did the internet and walk in sales, moved to Arizona and is no longer with the company. They are open for business and are in the process of cataloging the massive Amman parts inventory(over 10 semi trailer loads) and will be putting as many listings on E-bay as possible over the next several months. He is hiring an ex-Hudson technician, as well as an internet guru to help ID the parts that are not marked. He also said if anyone needs parts to give him a call personally and he'll try to find what you need and get it out to you. He also said anytime we want to stop by personally and pick thru stuff, just give him a call and he will meet you there at a time that is convenient for both parties. He also plans on having a Hudson cruise in/car show complete with cookout, etc. Chip seems to be a really cool guy and is eager to help us with out Hudson parts needs. Below is his contact info:

    Thanks for the info and for the contact info, one question though, Where are they physically located? I can't tell by the cell number and its hard to know if I could visit the store when I don't know where it is. Don't need a street address, just a city, state.......
    Thanks again

    According to a search, doesn't specify city but: "most of the northern third of the state of Illinois, less the core of the Chicago metropolitan area and the area around Moline".

    Good luck, I emailed them twice over the last two months and never heard anything back either time.
