We are always looking for winter photos for the WTN. I know most of us don't take our babies out in bad weather, but if you have or can take a shot you'd like to share with 4,000 members, please send it along. If you've got a snowy parts car in the side drive, it will probably make a terrific shot. If you can squeeze in a Christmas theme...lights, wreath, etc., wonderful. We may not use it until next year, but we WILL use it. Email attachments at either 300 dpi or raw from the camera (usually 11 x17 @ 72dpi) are VERY welcome. If we get a couple of shots today or tomorrow they will run in the Jan/Feb 2009 issue, which goes to the printer right after Christmas. Below is a shot I just took from my desk in the "WTN office"...more than a foot in Santa Fe this morning, and still snowing. Thanks!

Merry Christmas Sam and Mary Ann, I enjoyed the snow photos of your '40 Hudson from last year. VicTor and Teri

Does a post snow picture of Charlie Woodruff's 51 Sedan sporting the thaw created mud count?

Merry Christmas to all

First big snow of the winter, end of outdoor work on my '54 Hornet coupe project. Had to clear away snow and recover.

This is my All Season front Yard Hudson in Pennsylvania, a '37 Terraplane tudor. She has a timer with lights that shine out to the roadway berm and has been decorated for many Holidays over the last several years. I live on an Interstate Exit and short cut to a large Mall so it gets a lot of viewing.

I e-mailed you a copy of the pic here as well as another Jet.

The 50 Super is inside the Heated shop...relegating the 49 Commodore outside for the winter...

Now Dan, that's a cryin' shame. I demand you build another shop immediately and cover the ol' girl forthwith. I know, I know... we all do what we gotta do. I wince everytime I see an old derelict stepdown in the woods somewhere with the windows shot out... let alone someone's project with the amount of work put in like you've done here!

I'm secretly doing field testwork for the Eastwood company

It will be intersting to see if the lead work, and Eastwood Rust Encapsulator products hold up as advertised. The whole tub is nearly ready to sandblast so a little more surface rust anywhere certainly won't hurt this one!

Sorry, I can send you a xmas snow photo. What does snow & ice look like? I have never seen it. Well almost never, as about 4 times a year there is a thin layer of ice on the windscreen in the morning during our winter. Today we had our xmas lunch and it was 32C and sunny in South Australia.

Xmas - a good time to remember, The world is but one country, and mankind its citizens.

Glad to hear you've got the critical exposed stuff coated, Dan. I welded new (actually good used) floors in the '48 coupe project last summer, and slathered a heavy coat of POR-15 over the top and bottom surfaces when finished. With the car sitting outside, the door seals are gone and water leaks down into the interior floor. I finally ended up throwing a breathable, waterproof cover over it to stop this. Doesn't matter much now, though... there's 8" of snow over it all. I'd post some pics but I don't have an application to shrink 'em to postable size. :o

I did not take any photo's but I thought I would just mention. We headed west from Utah to see our son in Portland. After driving for twelve "white knuckle" hours we were turned back just west of Ontario, Oregon. The roads were closed from there to Pendleton. We spent the night in Ontario and at ten this morning the road was still closed so we turned around and came back home. that would have made some great pictures...

Gettin a little deep in the driveway here in the Adirondacks

In more ways than one, Uncle J, in more ways than one. LOL

I love seeing pictures like that - reminds me why I don't miss New England.

Yup -- she goes in the snow too, although I discovered "feathering" the throttle is mandatory with these tires and a hydromatic, even if they are radials.

Yeek -- just a little tap and she's a spinnin', but what a nice little cruise we had today. Heater works fine, and we were nice any cosy --- should have taken my coat off and showed off a bit in there with just a T shirt on, but I think we got the point across anyway.

Them Hudsons just ain't your average "fair weather" car folks ! We can mix it up with all them SUV's by golly, ( well -- as long as the roads are plowed anyway!)

Great pics Ryan. Be sure to keep the salt away from that beautiful stepdown chassis.

You ain't kiddin' Dave !! Truth be known, the roads I was driving on were carefully chosen to avoid any sign of salt, and the temperature checked before we went so that the surface was, and would stay that way while we were out, frozen solid, with no slush spraying up into the wheel wells. In other words, pretty much glare ice, which made traction a little interesting, and panic stops pretty much out of the question.

Was pretty neat being kept nice and warm in those temperatures by a 55 year old heater, and feelng the heat radiating off the hood while stopped and taking the pictures.

Yes Duncan, we were just a few miles from home where these pictures were taken today. I was wishing it was sunnier, and I was hoping to get some shots by a frozen river nearby, but the road leading to that area had been salted, so I had to settle for the ones you see here.

I'll try again some very cold, dry, sunny day soon. No doubt there'll be lots of them yet before spring, and this excursion merely whetted my appetite for more of the same, so it'll be something Anne and I will be looking forward to on weekends, much like we do on sunny days in summer.

The snow sure makes some pretty backgrounds, doesn't it? But , OMG! as much as I'm looking forward to meeting you this summer, you couldn't pay me to be there with you. I got too cold even looking at the pictures.

Incidentally, it was 62 here today and sunny. I was working in my T-shirt on the Hudson and swatting the bees away.

Well, ok Russell, go ahead -- rub it in ---- but at least I didn't have to worry about them bees getting splattered all over my grill and windshield.

More snow and more photos. I'm headed south Monday and hope to see all at the Orange Blossom meet. The old truck does better on the ice than my late model. About time to give her a wash at Jim's.

Sarah Young

Love the Hudson-Sales/Service on the truck doors. For official use only?

Andrew B55

Well it was 115 degrees Fahrenheit in Melbourne, Australia today so I'm afraid I can't help with a snow photo. In fact, I've never driven a car in snow and at this rate I'm not going to any time soon!

rambos_ride

Phew, 115 ~ How do you keep the solder from melting on your motherboard

The weather was a bit better this Valentine's day, so fired up the coupe again, went to a local restaurant for breakfast, and then a little cuise around the area.

Lots of surprised looks from folks not used to seeing these cars out and about in the dead of winter!

Probably made the day for at least a couple of car nuts, especially those that wanted me to roll down the window and give them a detailed history of the car, all in the time it takes for a light to change !

Great fun on a winter day anyway.

Nice picture Silverone, just goes to show that Hudsons look good in any weather.

You got that right Jim ! Even in black and white ! ( If it weren't for the blue sky, you could almost say this photo was done in black and white) :-)

Even if I was in the picture, by chance I was wearing black shoes, black pants, white shirt, black jacket, and my hair is white ---- so even I wouldn't have messed up the black and white theme at all !!

There's a couple bigger pictures at http://www.hudsoncollector.com/forum_viewtopic.php?3.930
