Hilarious, my dad ran a garage for a while when I was younger. At one time we had 5-6 hudsons sitting around. A guy came in the garage one day and asked my dad where he got all those old mercs? Thought my dad was going for the shotgun. Just about wore that guy out. Cracked me up.

In the 60s and 70s my family would go
east every year to Docs Meet and the nationals. We would take 2 to 4 Hudsons all with CBs. Drive straight through and stay awake talking to each other and the truckers. 90% of the time the truckers thought they were Mercurys. Once they found out they were Hudsons they always knew someone that had one. We always said if that was the case they would still be in business. The one thing that was consistant was they all owned Hornets and always told use how fast they were, as if we didnt know. lol Kelly H. from Texas put a sign in the back window of his jet he was trailering in large white letters "THIS AINT NO DAMM FORD" lol

I have a sign in the rear side glass of my 51 Pacemaker coupe that says "THIS AIN'T A CHOPPED MERC"

I have seen several Hudson step-down street rods that look a lot like Mercs of that era. It's almost as tho the builder couldn't find a Merc, so built a Hudson to look like one. This Hollywood, from the front view, does look a bit like a Merc.

Tho it's a beautiful car and a great custom job, it is a shame he had to use such a rare car as a Hollywood.

Yes Hudson beat them by a year. The Merc used old technology with it's flat windshields. They didn't correct that until 52.
