1954 Hudson Hornet identification

tinsled — Thu, 07 Nov 2024 15:36:16 +0000

I recently acquired a 1954 Hornet Club Coupe, body nr. 7317532. Actually the car is only currently being shipped from Miami FL to Finland, thus at this moment I only have photos and some info by the seller. Is there a source or database to find out the factory information of this very car? - original engine information - interior/upholstery spec. - trim level, possible factory accessories etc.

I once got "a built sheet" by Chrysler Heritage for my 1948 Dodge, I wonder if such factory documents are available for late production Hudsons?

Thanks,

Pekka

Booklet?

Good Day! Looking for a booklet called Major Overhaul Of The 1948-56 6 Cylinder Hudson Engine, 13 pages, put out by Mr. Gus Souza of the Milwaukee- Chicago chapter, printed maybe back in the Eighties? a copy or original would be fine. Thank You and have a Great Day!

manual access 1930 Hudson

Surmod — Sun, 18 Dec 2022 18:50:15 +0000

When I bought my 1930 Hudson Super 8, it came with a fair bit of literature. One of which is a number of pages, 195-204. I've added a photo of the first page. The rest of the pages only have "Hudson 1925-1930 Inclusive" across the top of the page. It appears to be one chapter of a manual on engine tune up. I'm wondering if the rest of the book is available somewhere?
I have the on-line service manual from hudsonterraplane.com " 1930-38 Service operations Manual" which is very redundant wording from page to page with no illustrations or pictures and with very little information on any particular topic. I find it hard to believe that it is the actual service manual. I'm used to the format shown in the picture that I have added.
I found an online pdf file "online library index" and I see one called "1930-1933 Hudson 8 Service Operations Manual" maybe that's a typical service manual that I need?
So yes, I'm looking for the rest of the manual to the photo I added. But I'm also looking for a complete 1930 Hudson 8 service manual. Thanks for any insight you might have.

Hi Everybody,

Just picked up a 1946 Hudson Super Six, and I'm looking for the shop manual for the Engine/Transmission, etc. I see on Hudsonterraplane.com there is a 1948, is that close enough? Is there a 1946 manual available?

Thanks to all

Terraplane models

dholck — Thu, 30 Jan 2020 01:37:24 +0000

I'm sure we've done this before - but - can someone suggest a good resource for information on the various Terraplane models? I have a 1934 Terraplane K coupe ("Special") and I know about the KU ("Major"/deluxe with long wheelbase) and the KS ("Challenger"/'trimmed down economy model/no vent quarter windows).
I just got the new HET roster and of course looked for the 34T coupes. I see four 1934 K Special coupes listed, as well as the Challenger KS coupes, and the 34 KUs (no KU coupes in the club, apparently). But I also see listed an "RS coupe" - presumably meaning a K coupe with rumble seat), and a 1934 "Standard 6 K" coupe (apparently listed under the engine number 71329) - both of those should have just been listed as 34T K coupes, right? Then another 5 coupes listed just under "1934 Terraplane" - presumably because people are unfamiliar with the models. Also 2 cars with just serial numbers under "1934 Terraplane." Seems like we could clean this up for 1934, and no doubt other years, with a little more information.
Tell me if I'm wrong; if you have a 1934 Terraplane coupe, measure the wheelbase and if it is 116", then you have a KU Major (deluxe); if it is 112" wheelbase and has side vent quarter windows, then you have a K Special; no vent windows, then it is a KS Challenger. There were only the 3 models, right?

Does anyone have a 'service manual' for a '38 Hudson radio model D-38? Copies I have been able to locate to date are multiple copies of copies and of very poor quality. Any assistance would be helpful.
Thank you all...

Thompson Repair and Tune-Up Manuals

maruefer — Fri, 09 Nov 2018 14:50:39 +0000

to the experience and memory of all who have been around Hudson’s a long time, here is a question. Did Thompson Manuals have a section on the 1937 Hudson & Terraplane models? Every edition I’ve read so far, 1936 and 1938 models were included but nothing on 1937. Either all those pages have been removed from the six sets reviewed or Thompson thought the 1937’s were not worth the effort to reprint information from what ever source they used back then.

Hello all – is there a source for Hudson build sheets? Chrysler Museum, perhaps? I've recently acquired a very nice '52 Hornet sedan and would like to confirm its original options and colors. Thanks to anyone who knows.
