    Currently - three cars and three trucks: a '37 Terraplane, a '66 Dodge I've owned for nearly 27 years, a '79 Chrysler New Yorker, a '71 Dodge D-100 and '67 Dodge D-100 CSS pickups, plus a '66 Ford F-250 pickup. All running/driving/tagged/titled.



    Looking for any year Gremiln or Hornet, plus a '75-'78 Chrysler New Yorker to add to the collection.

    2 not counting the parts car, 54 Hornet special sedan Drivable but in the garage for the winter, and a 54 Hornet special coupe that is licensed but not drivable at the moment. I agree with kktreb I think they own us instead!

    I had an '84 Eagle Wagon Sport. It had the 258 W/ a 5 speed. I loved that car, but young and stupid as I was, abused it and sold it. I wish I had that one back!

    A 1949 super Six four door We drive around the state and goes to most Wednesday night cruises. 12 volts, A/C , criuse control and a CD player.

    I forgot to answer the poll question, after getting excited about the 52 wasp coupe...



    as far as my "collection" here's what I have been able to amass...



    1950 Hudson Commodore 6 4 door

    1964 Buick Riviera (need some work, but all there)



    hopefully I can add a stepdown coupe to this list, someday, prefer a short wheelbase coupe, but at this point, my desperation would even consider a 2 door Jet, just to have a 2 door hudson, no hollywoods, or broughams though. But I would consider a convertible.... hehehe....

    52 Hornet sedan (a "beater" with shiny paint, Chrysler eng, trans, rearend, front disc brakes) I wanted to make this the "tow car" for the car below but am re-thinking this since my issues with the rusted out frame rail.....



    53 Triumph Mayflower 2dr. sedan - 2 liter ford eng w/ big nasty cam & Hilborn fuel injection, headers, 4 spd trans, narrowed Olds rearend and still buckets full of money away from giving me any JOY!

    At three, and holding:

    '48 Hudson coupe, "Old skool" custom (that sectioned red and white one that was on the board last spring)

    '66 Olds Cutlass convertible

    '28 Ford Model A coupe- need to get the engine back in so I can sell and buy another Hudson.

    Sold a project '59 Corvette a couple years ago- some guy wanted it more than me, and (I can't help it) I just like Hudsons better than 'Vettes!

    1950 Pacemaker sedan - Needs engine work

    1947 Commodore 8 Sedan undergoing frame-off restoration - awaiting decent weather and some cash

    1947 Chevy Fleetmaster sedan (for dad) - undergoing frame-off restoration and waiting for good weather and taking away time money and attention from my Hudsons.

    Woe is I, they do not drive. Don't think I'd want to own more old cars unless I had a staff mechanic like Jay Leno hehe.

    This car thing is a disease. Get rid of cars and they will find you. Some shmoe you know will invariably say "OH He's into old cars! I'll give the ones I don't want to him!" lol

    Although the Hudsons are clearly the favorite on this board, it's good to see a variety of the other makes as well. I own only a Hudson, but if time and money allowed, there would be others.

    We have 5 cars -



    The most important is our 1950 Super 6 Club Coupe that we just finished a 5 year exercise in an amature restoration.



    We drove it over 6,000 miles (Arizona to St Louis and beyond and back) this summer - one stop was in Kearney,NB at the Nat'l Meet and got to enter it for the Bill Albright Award. THANKS BILL FOR SETTING UP THIS AWARD!!!!!



    The others are:

    1955 Packard 400 - all original and just turned over 50,000 original miles

    1966 Ford F-100 short bed pick-up - originally wifes' Aunt pick up

    1988 Chev S-10 pick up (Want A Be Truck) It's so small that you have to get out of it to change your mind!!Ha!

    2002 Dodge Grand Caravan - Wife's get about



    The hudson is our pride and joy. We're also now looking at one of 3 Hudson Pickups (1946 &/or 47) - got to look at our pocket book and available space!



    Next year we'll drive the Super 6 to Auburn (From Arizona) then on to the East Coast and down to Florida and back along the Southern border.



    Hudsons were made to DRIVE (unfortunitly a few road dings happens along the way - so much for the perfect paint job!). I keep telling people to Drive those cars and show them off at every oppertunity!!! People love to see them and talk about them!!
