the front end kind of resembles an old studabaker

I lied, this is the last pic: Dash shot.

I think the rock on the roof is custom

Hudson Hornet -1950 ? to 1954. Flathead 6 . In their prime they
were NASCAR winners.

Pretty sure Lee Petty raced and won with them.

They were great until the Olds and Pontiac V-8's came out and
creamed them.

I would have to agree with Jim. That was my first thought.

Rooster's 67 · 12-17-2003, 09:06 PM

hudson hornet for sure

Cat Fuzz · 12-17-2003, 09:08 PM

Yep. It's a Hudson. Got my Ultimate Car Spotters Guide here. I can get a pic.

*Randy70C-10* · 12-17-2003, 09:10 PM

Looks like a real cream puff.

ckhd · 12-17-2003, 09:13 PM

You guys rock. It is totally a Hudson Hornet. After you said, I looked them up on the internet and there is no doubt. Even had pictures of gas fillers.

Thanks!

Any idea how to tell years? Anyone know where the VIN plate might be?

Jim Molloy · 12-17-2003, 09:16 PM

If I remember right Jake in "Two Jakes" drove a Hudson
convertible. Real clean cream colored droptop.

In "Chinatown" he has a small coupe.

There's a real nice Hudson here in town. Light green with
dark green top.

One was for sale in Bend ,OR about two years ago. Had been
updated a little. 472 Cad V-8 PS PB looked real nice. They were
asking $3500 for it. I was real tempted but wanted a truck.

Cat Fuzz · 12-17-2003, 09:16 PM

Stoopid scanner. Ah, well. I'm challenging myself to see if I can identify the exact year.

Cat Fuzz · 12-17-2003, 09:20 PM

I'm pretty sure its a 51 with those front turn signals. Looks like later years had turn signals mounted on a grille extension instead of in the fender itself.

EDIT: Geez, only 150 convertibles built in '52 and only 30 of those had the Straight 8, was final year for it.

ckhd · 12-19-2003, 08:48 PM

I'm pretty sure it's not a Hudson Hornet. Hudson for sure, but it looks to me like the last year for gauges in the center was '50, and the Hornet started in '51. Probably a '50 Hudson... something.

*Randy70C-10* · 12-19-2003, 10:32 PM

Maybe a '53 Hornet?

duke68ss · 12-19-2003, 10:36 PM

great resto project!! Minor rust and needs interior.. HAHA.. wonder how it got out there

*Randy70C-10* · 12-19-2003, 10:38 PM

Here's another 53

I hate to admit it, but the thought had crossed my mind.
