    I have a HUDSON MOTOR CAR CO. DETROIT MICHIGAN USA ID tag with CAR NO. 578051 without a MODEL #. There are 16 patent dates listed from April 20, 1908 through Sept 18, 1923. Anyone know what year Hudson and what it is worth? I wonder if the car still exists and somehow the tag got lost. I found it while cleaning out the trunk of my car.

    Lee, most likely off a 1925 Hudson. Serial numbers for 1925 ran from 562016 to 672227.
