What a beauty. Nicely equipped, too. I know this guy in Canada who's trying to restore a few of these. Maybe I should suggest that he just buy this one. Laughing

Considering Hudson's limited resources at the time, I still say that 54 redesign was really a noble effort. However, and as we see with Government Motors and Chryslerberus today, buyers shy away when the hear rumors of backruptcy or merger. Although I understand the business plan behind the formation of AMC, they should have done better PR or injected some money into Hudson and left it as a seperate entity.

Boy that is a real beauty. Looks in great shape. If I did not have my project I would buy this car no problems what so ever.

When you look at the lackluster models for 54 the Hudson stands above most of them as a classy looking car all the way.

And what exactly does your project have to do with buying another Hudson? Did you forget our creed, "You can't be too rich, too thin or own too many Hudsons."

Although there's hardly a Hudson that isn't classy, I think you'll agree that the step downs were a quantum leap forward in auto design. Considering that people were buying nice, new cars in the late 60's and paying the equivalent of what a Hornet cost in the 50's, you had to be doing well to own a Hudson. Now, you'd do well to own a Hudson. Smile
