OUCH! :eek: That's just painful to look at. I did notice the ragtop next to it, though.

Looks like the cab is fine so they probably walked away from this accident. I am thinking a T-bone then a spin and hit another car maybe.

Looks like 1951 Ford to me. With a spotlight could that have been an unmarked cop car??

I don't think cops drove convertibles too often.

You get up in the morning, come out of your hotel and see your car like this, since somebody hit it in the parking lot whilst you slept. A perfect opportunity to hit your forehead with the heel of your hand and scream "OH S**T!!

Hello,



It looks like the Hudson and the Ford hit nearly head-on, left front to left front. The damage to the rear door of the Hudson has me stumped, though. The trim along the bottom isn't damaged, and the glass in the door doesn't look to be broken.



Just my guess.



Take care,



Steve Bryson

Too bad someone didn't unbolt those rockers and put um' on a shelf when this happened.

It's a fifty..51's had two bullets in the grille and the 49's had F O R D letters on the front of the hood. Parking lights were different too, but ya can't see 'em in the picture. I did notice the strange positioning of the spot light on the Wasp..Maybe it was a unmarked cop car?

Talk about unmarked cop cars, Kentucky Lake is a hot fishing hole , this unmarked car PULLING AN ALUMINUM BOAT on the Western Ky Parkway was really getting his quota in. I'd almost call that BAITING !! Nope didn't get me, I had a C.B. on !

It may not have been an unmarked police car. In our area, I believe it was the fad of the day having spot lights installed. I remember my Dad bought a new 51 Hudson Hornet and had a spot light linstalled. He also had an electric trunk release installed. He did happen to be a new policeman at the time. We didn't have TV back then, so he would take the family to the movies at the San Val Drive Inn or the Pickwick Drive Inn in Burbank, Ca. At dusk, just before the movie would begin, many cars would turn on their spot lights and shine their lights onto the movie screen. Then they seemed to begin chasing each others spots around the screen until Woody Woodpecker or some other comic began. My brother and I got to stay up for the first film but had to go to sleep for the second film. As a child it was fun watching the spot lights chasing around the screen. On the other hand, all the cars may have been undercover police cars having a fun day at the movies. Lee

Yes, the ragtop is a '50. For my money, I'd say the Hudson is not an unmarked police car. That's a more modern law enforcement tactic.

I still have to go to sleep for the second movie. Life does not change much?
