This home movie was shot by a gentleman who was employed by a public relations firm which -- in the early 1930's -- had Hudson as a client. His daughter posted this to YouTube today, and graciously alerted me.



This is a hillclimb involving at Mount Mansfield, with a '32 or '33 Essex Terraplane. I suspect it's a '33 eight, but that' s only a gut feeling. Does anyone have further information on this? Do any professional films of this event, exist?



I don't see this particular run listed in the "hillclimb winners" website at http://www.kolumbus.fi/leif.snellman/hcw5.htm . I assume this was Mt. Mansfield, Vermont.



This film, being a home movie, has of course never been seen by Hudson enthusiasts before!

[dummy me! Of COURSE it's a '32, the front fenders don't have the valence like the '33's do!]
