Italia at the upcomming BJ Scottsdale auction
There was a Italia auction at Pebble Beach Weekend. Sold for just under 250 K. Don't know the car but it sounded very nice conditon. A number 1 or 2 condition. A million is a streach but still a nice thought. Richs.

Big score at the Western Regionals!
What took you so long to purchase it? Great piece of wall art. And it does look to be a 1937 Hudson or Terraplane. We had a great time too. Jon Cronk and his crew did a great job. Richs.

1912 Hudson model33
If your car has a multi clutch disk, then it requires 12 ounces of oil. The newer clutches only use 6 ounces. I rebuilt my 1922 multi disk clutch and it uses 12 ounces. Good luck with your new purchase. Rich Smithen Central Calif. Chapter
