What do you guys think about this type of Hudson Restoration?
As S-O-T indicates, it is a rod/mod, not a restoration. It actually looks like the work done thus far is decent, although I can't say much for their taste in fabric & colors. Doesn't show the front-end (power tilt?), hopefully all th…

54 Hornet drums onto 47 PU?
You might also want to do a side-by-side comparison between the Hornet brakes and the brakes from the 47 pickup. The pickup should have the same (larger) 11" brakes that came on Hudson cars with the 'straight eight'. Didn't pre…

I don't think 'they' were a member - at least initially. It appears that they 'signed up' just to 'flag' some of the comments that 'struck a nerve' with them. No record of any previous comments made by …

No, I don't think it was sold. I think the seller pulled it, apparently after reading this thread... He also submitted a couple of 'flags' on this thread, apparently somewhat offended by some of the comments here. Comments were rev…

Classic car appraisal for insurance
I'd check with another classic car insurance company - Hagerty does not require an appraisal, but does require photos... Addendum: Getting your own insurance before having it shipped is a very good idea. Make sure that the insurance you get …

Insurance for classic car
@Browniepetersen - I have State Farm for my 'drivers', Hagerty for quite some time for my 'collection'. Inquired to State Farm - I found they were very restrictive and too expensive (at least in my case). @StillOutThere - Yes, I…

Insurance for classic car
Recreational driving = Classic car insurance. They are not all created equal, do your research. I have Hagerty. They are good, but so are others. With most (good ones) - - Agreed values; - You must have a 'regular car' or 'daily d…

MARTZ ROADSTER IN VA. FOR SALE
Here's a listing I found on the AACA site. It is 'Judging Guidelines', and lists the major classes and sub-categories. Class #19 seems interesting, however, it refers to AACA National Headquarters - 'a complete list of approved…

MARTZ ROADSTER IN VA. FOR SALE
That sounds interesting - something to look into (for me, just out of curiosity). Do you happen to have a particular 'competition class' in mind? Thanks Paul.

MARTZ ROADSTER IN VA. FOR SALE
It is a custom, so the idea of 'one of two' doesn't really mean much (if anything) - at least in my opinion. These have their own market, and each Martz is unique and was custom built. Don't think it would be welcome at a trad…

Yup doesn't look 'chopped' to a Hudson guy - With all those 'mods' listed, he should have some photos to back-up the description... It won't come anywhere near his reserve otherwise - and only then if it has been done…

FAKE HUDSON parts and service sign on Ebay
A look at the back tells the story - they didn't take the time to age it correctly, you can see where they spread whatever they are using to create the rust, side to side. And, the paint on the front does not show correct aging, just that it h…

NEW ROSTER BOOK
To me, the anticipation is part of the pleasure (so to speak). I figure that my copy will get to me when it does - and until then, I'll use the online utility on the HET Club website if I need to look someone up.

47 stretch PU
I think I saw this one months ago - a collection of Hudsons in CA, and noticed this one in particular. The 'stretch' had nothing to do with the cab, but with the bed of the truck, right? If I recall, there was also a non-Hudson tailgate …
