Custom shift knobs H & T
I bought two of the early Pontiac knobs for my 1931 Pontiacs, they are even more beautiful in real life. You won't be disappointed in these. Rick

It's not a convertible it's a coupe. Yes, still rare and I understand the significance of such cars, I have other cars that will never be modified in my lifetime. And, I don't want to revive the do and do not arguments of hotrodding…

They also look similar to 1932 Pontiac but I can't say for sure. Nope after another look not Pontiac.

I met Ken and Kay years ago when I began collecting parts for my 42 and several times since. The last time was at the Pigeon Forge meet. They typified the fine type of folks the Hudson club and hobby is comprised of. Ken will be missed by many …

Pre-War Two-Tones?

That's not an engine that's a fossil! Some of the Essex guys on here can tell you more about it than I but I would like to hear a little more about where & how you found it. Clearly it's been underwater for a while.

Do you mean the tappet covers? As most know my eight has raised HUDSON letters on the head but the tappet covers have nothing on them.
