Does the cream-colored one in the last picture come with it as a parts car? ;>)

The conv't is going to go next if I had to bet. The 51 Hollywood is as rare as Hen's Teeth...... I think that it's interesting that it's being sold by Auto haus in Ca and the car is in Ga. The interior looks how ? How many 51 Hollywoods could there be ?

Looks like there is another Hudson to the right of the convertible and a 36-37 behind it.

I saw this for sale on another site he was asking $24,500 for it.

And its back with what looks like to me to be updated pictures

This car is going to do a big number

I think the car is priced just where it should be if a person were to keep it. I know of a couple Hudson individuals who would want $35K for the same car. Also, rarity and desirability are two different things. Hollywoods are a bit more rare in production but I think Club Coupes sell better. They were the predominate racers. Personally, I like the lines better aswell.



The movie just came out last Friday but the hype for the movie started sometime ago. No one can deny values have increased significantly these last 12 months. It will happen. As Harry54 mentioned to me, when Barrett Jackson and the other big auction houses run a few pristine "Doc Hudson" Hornet Club Coupes across the block (and they will), BIG money will be paid for these cars and drive up all the rest. There are only a handful of ANY coupes available, it will be supply and demand.

What's wrong is that the window for this car is closed with the reserve that this guy has. His reserve is probably to high , my guess is 25,000. If the reserve was 20-21 then all the people that were bidding up to 20,000 in the prior auctions would have been willing to really bid. My guess is that it would have traded between 23,000 and 25,000.

I think the $20K was very fair for this car. Let's face the truth that while hollywoods may be rare models, The demand and eye appeal is very low. Hudson did not do a very good job with the design of a hardtop. It really looks like an afterthought and did not blend well with the 51-53 body. The 54 was without a doubt the best of the hollywoods as far as balance. (My opinion, of course) Convertibles and Coupes are going to see significant increases as the most desireable models and very limited availability.
