I like the difference of the Hudson and the equivilent in a 50 Merc with no rust and original would be $30,000 not the $10,000 I paid. I bought it before the movie came out. Thanks

The car was bought by a new car dealer from his neighbor in the 60's. He put it in his showroom. It sat there until last year when I bought it. The interior was there but the seats had started to rot. No rust anywhere, a few scratches hear …
