  • If you think that's something, check out the dash picture in this ad. Looks like a blend of 1955 and prior. Can anyone identify what's going on with it?

  • I saw that one... that dash is certainly different and seems to fit OK. Interesting choice.

    Looks like a Hudson steering wheel and speedo to me. :confused:
  • Picture of the 52 sedan(not 53) is one car the picture of the interior is a separate car a 55 Hudson. 52 is split windshield with drivers spotlight. 55 interior shot is not split windshield and no driver spot hence a picture of an interior from another car. Also he would take a Ferrari Daytona in trade what am I missing here did Hudson values skyrocket while I was out.
  • .... willing to trade for a Ferrari..... or a Prius



    Now there is a man who knows what he wants!

    Bull,



    Did you go and see it? I can't get down there until next weekend, at least.

    This car is right near the Little Creek Navy Base. I had to go there for a meeting yesterday, so I stopped and looked:



    - Standard floor rust issues, good inner rockers, lots of rear perimeter frame rust, and weakened/rusty frame above rear axle between front and rear spring perches on both sides, rusty hood corners, filler on rear quarters.



    +308, Twin H, Hydro, pretty complete, unmolested except for the 12 volt alt and battery, clean antifreeze, fair doors and fenders, intact headliner .



    It has clifford stickers on it, but I didn't see clifford accessories on it. I took a bunch of pictures if you're interested.



    Do you think this one came with 'super-induction' valve reliefs?



    R/ Roger.
  • Super Induction was introduced by Hudson on the 54 engines.

    He said right in the add he wants better gas mileage, anyone with a Ferrari Hybrid would be silly not to trade for this sweet ride...
