    Around 1915, 1916. There was one similar to this one at the 2004 Pittsburg Naional - the cover on the sloping back had been removed and a wooden pickup box installed. Can't remember now if it was a Six-40 or Super Six (1916

    This one is definitely a Super Six, either 1916 or 1917. They were designated as cabriolets, and looks like they were only offered in these two years with the soft top. 1918 models were similar, but had fixed tops. Checked for pics in "History of Hudson" to confirm this. The earlier 6-40 offered the same body basically, but the cowl sloped down much sharper to the hood line.
    If you're stuck in a hole, stop digging.

    17 Cabriolet. The front end looks like my 17. My 2 cents worth.

    So is that b-pillar removable? Or is the window frame still there when the top is down??

    The Conde history shows the '17 had a landau bar behind the "new" quarter window. Don't see one on this car. And the '15 he shows doesn't have a quarter window.
