Hudson BIG six engine family 262, 232, 308 7X 

Yeah buddy congratulations you got it =)

🎉👏👏 Well Done 👍 Enjoy your evening ✌️

Awesome !

Great song 👍👍

All 53 model Hudson’s

Yeah I wish it was that way now they actually had to know how to drive back than as well

NO! That was AAA stock car racing. After 1955 AAA decided to quit racing and USAC was created to take over their events.

Yes thank you so much for that correction AAA not nascar

Awesome statement I forgot to mention the 308 is bigger displacement than the legendary 5.0 V8 Ford made in the 80s.. and made more power as well that engine was only rated at 150 hp

Sweet choices =) Yeah it looked really cool so I figured I would just added at the end it was in color and the narration was really good

@@What.its.like. They don't narrate races like they used to.

No they don’t there are too many rules now back then you could buy a car and race it can’t do that now

@@What.its.like. In some kinds of racing, you can. You just have to modify it to meet certain safety requirements. ChrisFix bought a 2004 BMW to race in the 24 Hours Of Lemons.

Happy thanksgiving =) the narrator was great I loved that footage figured you all would love to see it two.. old video type of year =)

I agree that NASCAR is not what it use to be and is really suffering a decline. I can not say what would be needed to bring it back but all it is right now is advertising. Its a lot more like American football now, nothing but commercials and over paid athletes. I use to watch pro football but now I watch college ball, more fun and does not (usually) have two hours of commercials for one hour of play. I hope that somebody starts televising short track racing.

Glad you dig this one I had to use all that racing footage it was so good and hearing the narrator was cool as well

Glad you dig this one it’s been a long time coming wasn’t sure how to approach it.. it was confusing at first with the narrow block wide block concept.. I found some awesome footage and wanted to share all of it with you =) racing were you had to know how to drive..

Awesome =) my favorite era of Hudson

You have one of my dream cars, congratulations.

@@danielulz1640 Thanks!

​@@gregdelagrange8573 When I was in high school, late 60's, I saw one like that abandoned behind a convenience store. It was in very good, all original condition, but nobody wanted it. I still remember the woven leather buttons on the seats.

@@danielulz1640 I have a couple of videos on my RU-vid channel with my Hudson. I've had it for about 20 years now and still one of my favorites.

Haha yeah =) Smokey if it’s not in the rule book it’s allowed

Totally agree =)

Great story thank you so much for sharing those memories with us =)

You bet =) this is one that I’ve been wanting to do for a while now

Awesome glad you dig this video thank you so much for sharing those memories what a great story also awesome choices =)

Thank you this one has been a long time coming =)

I love the styling of these glad you dig this episode =) A good friend of mine is building a 54 7x race car it should be done next yeah going to feature it on here can’t wait I forgot to mention Hudson went hydraulic lifters in 54

You too happy thanksgiving =)

Sweet choice great car =)

Great choices Charles I appreciate everything that you bring to the comment section, I hope you had a happy Thanksgiving as well =)

Yeah but did you notice the track was half pavement half dirt the upper section was dirt

I have no idea who narrated it sweet choices =) I loved that footage figured all you would totally dig seeing it

Thanks for sharing that memory I’m not sure but pretty good story

Sweet choice =)

Not sure when we will start doing people but maybe next year =) Great choices =)

=) happy thanksgiving to you over there

Happy thanksgiving to all of you as well =)

Awesome choices with great information =)

Me two I have a friend who is building a 54 7x I asked him about oil filtration because they don’t have filters on the block was wondering if anyone put a filter on the pan idk

Me too it was cool to see people really driving and not going around in circles at high speed

Awesome thank you so much fir adding that =)

​@@What.its.like.You're welcome, apparently there was a rumor this branding was going to go even further with the name of the Jet orginally being the Bee. Whether this actually happened not 100 percent sure.

I would love to see them bring back the flathead and turbo charge it

You meant PCV valve, correct?…

The Ford flathead V-8 is sort of overrated in my opinion after getting to drive a couple of them they’re very eh There are other power plants from the day they have less cylinders that are more impressive

Yes, I agree..they probably were impressive in the small light '32-'36 Fords, after having only 4 cylinders previously, but they were very small displacement, even the largest ones, and inefficient designs. I guess a lot of people probably like the racket they make....I think several inline sixes of the era probably out performed them. Not sure what power plants had glass cylinders, little confused by that...@@What.its.like.

It was supposed to say less cylinders autocorrected to glass for some reason

I had a stude 259 cui . Speedster V8 w 4bbl I raced a 51 Chevy w unknown 6 with 2 single bbl carbs beat pants off my stude 0-60 12s gone gone

ERR, AAA not NASCAR. Hard to remember that up until the late 1970's there were two stock car racing series?

Great choices =)

Yeah I’m not sure if it was AAA or nascar either way it was cool to see how they raced back then

I think Buick had twin carburetors on some of their Eights back in the 1930's.

Yes that is the correct song and band The Scott Campbell beat you for title

Awesome this is one of my favorite eras of Hudson =)

Awesome information Smokey was a hell of a racer and finder of the unfair advantage =) sweet choice

@@What.its.like. I would send you a picture of my 51 Pacemaker but I don't know how to.

Just curious where are you located? I would feature it on the channel if your up for it

@@What.its.like. I live in Tulsa Oklahoma. My ride is not in great shape. It needs a complete interior. The exterior is ok but that's what I have been working on.

Oklahoma is too far away thank you for sharing your car with us =)

Haha yeah =)

Smokey, YEAH he did so many things and he was not a NASCAR regular after the late 1950's. Usually he was doing things that others were doing but he was making them work. When NASCAR wanted to stop something they would usually make Smokey their example and go easier on the teams that ran the whole series. The inflatable balls in the fuel tanks was a good example. NASCAR officials turned a blind eye to this for a long time. Finally they announced they were going to enforce the rule and inspect fuel tanks after the races and the Daytona winner had unusually good fuel mileage after his last stop. Guess what? The winners fuel tank was never checked in tech and Big Bill France was entertaining VIPs from the winning car's manufacturer while the 'inspection' was being conducted. It was situations like this that soured Smokey on NASCAR and also made him a target of "cheating" accusations from NASCAR insiders, ALL of whom were cheating too but not being punished. Smokey had been campaigning for fuel cells in the cars and had been failed in tech because he used a fuel cell instead of a regular steel tank. When "Fireball" Roberts died after a bad fuel fire in 1964 at Charlotte Smokey stopped racing in NASCAR events till they required fuel cells. @@What.its.like.

Haha he was a great outside the box thinker thank you so much for sharing all that =)

THAT'S JUST IT.....THERE IS NO CHEATING IF IT'S NOT IN THE RULEBOOK....THIS WAS WHAT SMOKEY YUNICK DID , HE WAS NOT A CHEAT HE WAS AN INNOVATOR .@@keithstudly6071

Smokey “ there is no substitute for cubic inches “ ….

Yes that is the song is close but dragging the line and band The Scott Campbell beat you for title

Drat😂😂😂

Great episode also.👌👌👌

Dragging The Line

Sweet choices =)

Awesome story I hear that he changed the drive train to sit opposite side the car leaned in turns to keep it on the road better in the turn also basketball in fuel tank.. I also heard of 2 inch think gas line haha he was a character

@@What.its.like. omfg there is so much more, i was gifted a 6 cd audio book of HIM reading his own autobiography. treasure.

Yeah I want to do a story on him man people back then had some real humor =) makes me sad the world we live in
