Doug, thanks for sharing your story. I remember meeting you in Bettendorf in 2019. You are a true Hudson man and clearly understand the marque-as a stylish, roomy, comfortable, and rugged road car. Missed you in Ypsilanti and Branson.
What a beautiful history of a beautiful car in your amazing family. I am working on mine 52 Hornet I just rescued from the scrap yard. Thank you for this video.
Great job with the restoration. The color scheme is pleasing to the eye. Back in '54 or '55 a neighbor across the street had one. I always liked the lines on that vintage of Hudsons. They look to be a super comfortable - a living room on wheels. Immortalized by the 'Driving Miss Daisy' film.
"Three Cheers and a Tiger!" for not dropping a "small block Chevy" into the engine compartment and instead using a Hudson "Big Six" engine with "Twin H" carburetors.
The Hudson Hornet was the "salesman's hotel". The seats fold down to make a full sized interior bed. No need for a hotel. Floor boards designed to hold all the necessities without interfering with the "bed"
@@kevinrussell5099 incorrect. I have a '49 Hudson Hornet super eight and it's seats all fold down and you can leave the trunk open for ventilation or access or sightseeing
Mad Scientist, I've been around Hudson's for most of my life and other than the last Hudson's from '55-57 I've yet to see a stepdown Hudson with folding seats. The Nashes of the '50's had that feature and the traveling salesman's hotel nickname.
And a technical note, the Hornet didn't exist until 1951 and had the 308 cubic inch 6. The inline 8 in your Super came along in 1930 and went out of production in '52 and could be found in the Super or Commodore. If you have fold down seats in your car I'm betting someone found a way to put Nash seats in it. I had a '49 Commodore coupe and a '50 Super sedan and neither had fold down seats.
