1947 Hudson Big Boy, the last year of Hudson’s stellar truck 

I hope at car shows, you are offered permission to feel the lines and textures of a car.

I'm bind too one eye and tunnel in the other one.

What about Packard, Nash and Studebaker???

Hudson had a reputation as a strong, reliable car, my dad said.

​@tomomiko202 Yes, more so than Studebaker. Studebaker was one of the highest paying auto manufacturers, and it seemed like the workers kind of took advantage of this. It was one of the reasons they went broke. Like the Jeep and Ram plant workers today.

Same, this just proves that modern vehicle manufacturers are just plain greedy.. I mean, they charge more for a plastic bumper than a steel bumper.. I had a 67 Mustang at one point you could get every single part for that car back in 2010 a bumper was like 250 bucks meanwhile if you wanted a 2010 Honda Odyssey bumper it was like 500 bucks and the Honda Odyssey bumper is plastic. It’s absolutely insane.

Thank you so much for watching =)

I liked how Ford and Chevrolet picked up on this idea with the Ranchero and El Camino in the 50's

It probably goes back farther than that nothing is new

Those were the days… I’m thankful for technology, but the quality is gone. We live in a plastic world. Even our cars are plastic and they charge a fortune for them.

It won't be the last big boy hope to cover them all =) happy you dig this channel

@@What.its.like. Keep them coming!

Awesome I couldn't find that many Hudson truck ads from 47

I saw a 52 Hudson UTE at hershey one year I haven't saw another one since that would be an epic feature

They are very cool when you do get to see one

Totally agree

Hahaha nice

I saw a cyber truck not too long ago who sings are huge they're about the same size as my 52 Chevy one ton with stake bed

I miss amc as well they were essentially gone before I was even born Sweet choices happy you dig this episode

Lotta parts were shared between those two

That glove box is huge

Sweet choices =)

Life priorities change I guess. If I had the money I probably would've bought it somebody that is part of this community sent me a link to a 1947 big boy earlier this year for $6500. It was probably the bargain of the century and it was right up the road, if I had the money I would've totally bought it because they were asking very little for it. Yes it needed some stuff but most of it was there.. all of the Hudson specific stuff was there it didn't last a day it was gone.. but these are getting forgotten unfortunately that's why this channel is exist to bring the light all of the lost and forgotten cars. There are so many cool cars out there one day I might have a collection as big as leno of orphan cars..

@@What.its.like. You get to experience all of them. That's priceless.

I would have loved to drive this one..

Sweet choices =)

NTT is from the mid 60s I think Dennis got it The recessed grill looks very interesting , but I agree I think I like the 41 better

A friend of the channel sent one to me earlier this year for $6500 it was the bargain of the century it needed restored but was worth way more than they were asking if they washed it

So happy I could show this one to you it was also cool that it was Mike Wolfe's it's one of my favorite trucks ever behind the 37 studebaker coupe express of course but would drive either of them

Hahaha I did this about a month ago I have a fro now

Sweet choices

I know right I probably could've fit the whole camera bag in that glove box. It was probably the biggest box I've ever seen.

Awesome choice

Hahaha awesome the would you rather tonight is unfair Also this truck was owned by Mike wolfe from American pickers

@@What.its.like. That particular truck was owned by THAT guy? SWEET!

Yep I was like I got to sit in the same seat as Mike Wolfe it was pretty cool

@@What.its.like. Would've been cooler if he had been there to go over stories of his time with it.

Hudchero 😁

Eh back in this era this made more power than Dodge, Chevy And those trucks were half tons and the bed wasn’t as big

Haha it was beach boys vegetables, kind of out there song lol
