A HUDSON INVADER ENGINE ON EBAY
I'd love to have one. I don't have a clue what I'd do with it but I'm the kind of nut who likes to preserve old stuff just because it's part of history. I saw that the EAA had a 4360 for sale a while back but I was too lat…

Step Down Headliner
Per Dr. Doug's recommendation, I'll be ordering mine from SMS when we get to that point. We're not there yet so I can't tell you how it went. See you next week at Wickham Park?

NEW ROSTER BOOK
I just got mine today. Only problem is that my father's Hudson is still listed under his name. That's not fair - I'm the one paying the bills. $-)

Maybe a deal for someone
Yeah, the descriptions says Commodore but it looks like a Pacemaker to me. The parking lights and the hood ornament are wrong for a '51 Commodore and it's missing the trim pieces on the tops of the fenders.

Commodore or Pacemaker? Hudson Valley? Seems like the perfect place to find a Hudson.

Chopped top? Looks factory to me.

U-Haul Quote
I was going to suggest maybe a 1950 Buick but that's not an option either. While I was looking around, I saw this on their website: Never place a vehicle-in-tow on the auto transport trailer that is different than listed on your rental contrac…

1950 Pacemaker vs. Pacemaker Deluxe
Thanks for the info. I knew someone would have the answer.

1950 Pacemaker vs. Pacemaker Deluxe
OK, let's reset here... I noticed a difference between the seat backs on my Pacemaker parts car and my Pacemaker Deluxe that is being restored. As I said in my first post, my original thought was that it was another case of Hudson just making…

1950 Pacemaker vs. Pacemaker Deluxe
That fabric looks the same as the fabric in both of my cars. I have one pull strap with what looks like little diamonds of turquoise and I think the windlace that went around the doors had the same design. Attached below is a picture of the seatba…

1950 Pacemaker vs. Pacemaker Deluxe
Tim, I'll try to clarify... The area of green vinyl on the door I'm referring to on the 'regular' Pacemaker is the same area on the doors where the Duluxe has the fabric matching the seats. As you mentioned, the other differen…

Where is my Paintcode?
My door hinge was pretty rusty too. I sanded it a bit at a time and the code showed up. Problem is, it didn't match the codes on the paint chip set I had. Turns out, it's not Peacock or Oriental green - it's Hawaii green which was…

Pacemaker Options
Middletom, My car is sort of the same story - it was bought new by my father's uncle who my father describes as extremely frugal and not a car guy. The car, however has a heater, radio, wind up clock, cigarette lighter and the hose that let…

List of month of production by serial number?
Pacemaker500, for what it's worth, my Pacemaker Deluxe is number 105446 so they were apparently making them at least into July. Alex, really? A $16 difference between the regular and Duluxe Pacemakers? The more I find out about the differen…

Dave, The one I heard about was a desktop model, not a full sized car.

Hudson In Bank Ad
Pacemaker 500, I think your body style and engine questions have been answered but not your grille question. Again, someone correct me if I’m wrong… All 1948 and 1949 Hudsons (Commodores and Supers) share the same horizontal bar grill. In 1950, …

Hudson In Bank Ad
Nice! I wonder if it's all new or if they brought back a design from the past. To answer the identification question, correct me if I'm wrong, but I see a 1948 or 49 Commodore. I don't know how to tell a 48 from a 49 - is there a w…

Hostetler's Museum
I was there 2 years ago and not only were there no 1950 cars, I couldn't find anything 1950 - no brochure, no model, no picture - nothing. Kind of weird but still well worth the visit.

WANTED.. Sept-Oct 1985 WTN.
I may have the one you're looking for in the colection that my father gave me. I'd hate to break up a more or less complete set going back to the late '70s but I may be willing to trade it for a ride in a Hudson convertible if you kn…

Ultra-Ultra rare '49 Hornet!
According to the Wikipedia entry on Mario Andretti, he and his twin brother got started in racing with a 1948 Hudson Hornet (much rarer than the '49 since it predates actual by production by three years and not just two ;) ). The funny thing i…

Ultra-Ultra rare '49 Hornet!
Believe it or not, I actually have a copy of that book - it was my Grandfather's. It's been years since I've looked at it. I'll have to dig it out and read it again.

To a non Hudson person, every Hudson is a Hornet. I can't tell you how many times I've gotten "Oh - a Hornet?" after telling someone I had a Hudson.

'53 Hudson "prototype" PU for sale
Is it just me, or does it not look like a '53? The hood looks like a '53 but the grille looks like a '52 Pacemaker (small parking lights). I tend to agree with you, Rick, looks like a conglomeration from many cars - Pacemaker gril…

Pacemaker steering column finishing
I looked in my parts car and, as I guessed, there isn't one there. I dug out the box listed on my inventory sheet today and I can't find anything that even looks like a 'steering column brace - broken' but I'll check again …

I'll have to check my parts car tomorrow but the interior is pretty well stripped so I doubt it will be there. If not, there is something on my parts inventory sheet that I made a few years ago labeled "steering column brace - broken"…

Pacemaker steering column finishing
Here's a shot from my 1950 Pacemaker Deluxe. It's not in the best shape but I'm pretty sure it's original. It seems like the transmission linkage on mine is on top and yours is on the bottom. Is yours right hand drive? If so,…

Your first car?
I must be yonger than most of you because my first car was a 1982 VW Rabbit. It's sitting in my garage next to my father's first car, a 1950 Hudson Pacemaker. Both are waiting to be rebuilt.

Thanks. Two more questions: Were there any other dealers in the area? How do I get a copy of the book?
