Hudson Resto SPIKE TV Chan 70 Sun Morning
It's on right now--9:30-10:00AM EST. 600 man-hours on the body work...that's insane, but it looks outrageous!

1954 Hudson Hornet Coupe Street Rod Craigslist
I'm not tryin' to be a smarta**, but if you bought the car why is the auction still up on eBay?

54 Super Wasp Hollwood On E-bay
I believe it is. I seem to recall it was on a trailer back by the swap meet.

Dale Cooper Hudson parts
Dale had a Super Wasp convertible stashed away in his parents barn outside of Yellow Springs, OH for years. Anyone know if he ever did anything with it?

Hash Anyone?
This seller is employing a different strategy. He's listed it 3 times on eBay so far: --1st time the minimum bid was $10K --2nd time it was $15K --this time it's $20K You're doing it wrong!

Comment by Swampy Meadows March 2011 permalink
Does anyone know this 53 Hudson?
Their website has the car listed at $39,995. Good luck with that.

"Best of Show" Today at our local Car Show!
Bill: That's an understandable mistake. My BIL Pete has a '51 Merc convert and being an inveterate practical joker, stuck a BMW badge on the front of it. You wouldn't believe how many people walk by it and say "I didn't…

sad news
Got to know Wayne when I lived in Pittsburgh in the late '70s. Heck of a guy and he loved his Hudsons, which he had stashed in various garages in his neighborhood in Carrick.

Rarest HUDSON? that was built for production?
This right here is the rarest of them all: a 1959 Hudson...1 of 1: http://westslope.craigslist.org/cto/1590433406.html

Hudsons for sale
These three have been on craigslist forever. The stepdowns started out at $20,000 each and are probably worth a quarter of that...maybe. The Jet is the green chopped top job.

'41 Hudson Pickup @ BJ in Scottsdale
The '63 Riviera they just hammered down at $28K was an absolute beauty. Made me wonder where the '64 Riv that my dad handed down to me is now. I sold it with 125,000 miles on the odomoter for $500 in 1971. What a car.

'37 pick up on ebay
Putting the pricing of this truck in perspective, you could instead opt to buy this '38 Terraplane PU, which appears to be period correct: http://www.autotraderclassics.com/find/vehicle/vehicleDetail.xhtml?adId=212782&actionMethod=fi…

Italia TV Sighting
The episode aired tonight. Wayne entered an all original 1918 Panhard in the Meadowsbrook Concours D'Elegance, which is about 15 miles from my house. The Italia was also entered and got some camera time, including a shot of Wayne sitting on a…

Italia TV Sighting
Thanks, Ken....I had no idea that Wayne was "one of us." I really enjoy the show, as he doesn't always hit the jackpot with every car he sells. He got burnt on a Jag a few weeks back, but I don't think they'll be holding a…

Memories, My first Hudson
My first Hudson was a 1937 Terraplane sedan that I bought in 1972 when I was a senior in college at the University of Dayton for $75. It didn't have headlights, so I couldn't drive at night; the wipers didn't work, so you couldn'…

What a deal on a Convertible
No reserve and only a 3 day auction. If it's not a scam, the seller is taking a big risk. It'll be sold before most people even know it's available.

This looks exactly like the '54 HHH that was on a trailer in the swap meet section of the HET National Meet in Auburn Hills. Same car or twin sister?

'57 Hornet "Convertible" Back on CL

Woodward Dream Cruise, Detroit MI
Just to give you out-of-towners some perspective, altho the actual Woodward Dream Cruise is on Saturday, it is now like a 10 day event. My wife and I have been out there every night since last Saturday and every night there are more cool cars. …

Detroit Airport ?
Detroit Metro (DTW) is the main airport serving Motown. It has all the services and most of the major airlines fly into it. It's about a 45 minute drive from DTW to the host hotel in Auburn Hills.
