New Hudson Jet Article!
-
There's a brand new article on Car Lust about the Hudson Jet and it refers to my site as "the premier resource for information about the Jet." Be sure to read viewers comments as well.

Congratulations Sarah! You certainly deserve the credit for all the work you have done.

You've done a lot of work on your site since I was there last. Awesome job.
Thanks for posting the article.
Keep promoting those Jets

Nice write up on the Jet. Coil springs on the rear? Funny, mine has leaf springs.

Thanks for the kind words guys! My biggest additions to the page in the last month or so have been the Dealerships page and the VINs page.
I also wanted to mention that there's a Hornet article as well on Car Lust at:

Hi Sarah:
Love your site, your Viper Red Jet and the article on the Jet! Great information! Let me add a little bit to it.
My father's first ever new car was a '53 Super Jet sedan; two-tone white over robin's egg blue with radio, heater and auto trans. If you want to add the VIN to your site, it was 2C-235352 (built in March of 1953). Not sure if it still exists because he traded it on a new '54 Wasp Club Sedan VIN 4D-305837 (built in June of 1954). Not sure if it still exists either.
We've owned three Hudsons if you want to add those VINs to your site. The first was a '54 Hornet Coupe 7D-313318 (built in September 1954). We sold it in 1998 to a club member in Wisconsin but I don't know where it is now. The second was a '51 Commodore 8 Sedan 8A-7570 (built in October of 1950). We sold it in 2003 to a club member in Las Vegas and I think it's still there. Our current Hudson is a '54 Hornet Hollywood 7D-307907 (built in July of 1954).
Regarding the Dealership site, both of my father's new Hudsons were purchased at "St. Louis' Largest Hudson Dealer" Hudson - Lindell at Grand, Inc. located at 3540 Lindell Blvd. in St. Louis. I still have some of the original paperwork including the Owner Manual for the Jet, the Owner Service Policy for the Wasp and some sales information from the dealer. If I can get it scanned, I will e-mail you the logo from the dealer if you want to add that to your site.
Again, I really enjoy all the great information you are providing. Keep up the good work!

I appreciate the kudos! Believe it or not, the site started out as just a way for me to share the restoration pictures to family and friends on this really cool old car we found. At some point it metamorphosed, lol. It wouldn't be what it is without great contributions from viewers. Many thanks!Take a Ride in a Hudson Jet!
