    ooh! ooh! Pick me! Pick me! I can do this one!: Let's see, '53 Hudson Super Jet, w/ a Twin-H and auto that really will start . . . (and run!) on it's own . . .



    Hmmm. My best analysis says, . . . somewhere between $500.00 and $50,000. Yep, that'd about cover it.:D

    Rocket-



    Just a little light-hearted humor. Really, without pictures for your forum pals, it's very hard to discern a "value". Pictures really are worth a thousand words. That said, it sounds like this is a potential parts car(?) Did I understand that correctly from your latest post? If that is the case, then I can certainly say, yes, there is a market for parts for a '53 Jet.



    Again, without seeing the quality or condition of the automobile, it's hard to say, but as a parts car, don't pay more than $1500 or so as a rough guesstimate or you won't even be able to recoup your investment, if that is indeed your intention. Also, if you don't already have a lot of Hudson contacts, it makes trying to peddle Hudson parts that much more difficult. Face the percentages, the car's not a Chevy, where buyers are plentiful and easily found. On the plus side, one would figure that rarer parts like Hudson parts would be worth more money, but that typically isn't the case. One of the few instances where supply and demand are on a slight vacation.



    The car is 200 miles away from you, if the seller is really interested in selling the car, you should have them provide you with more pictures, from all sides of the car and give you as much information about the car that he has available. How else can we, much less yourself ascertain whether the potential sale should even take place?
