1956 Hollywood Hudson Hornet V8

Unknown

I am helping a friend sell her Hudson Hornet. It has a clear title extra parts for restoration. The body is straight and the interioer has all original items. I'm trying to get an idea of the value of the Hornet. I have heard everthing from what seems low to what seems high. I don"t want her to give it away but I also whant someone to get a fair deal.

Does the car run and drive ?

I think you would need to give a great deal more information before anyone could give you an estimate. Is the body solid, with only minor rust and dents? What's the interior like? What's the mileage? When did it last run and does it have any known "issues"? What sort of options does it have: power steering? power brakes? electric windows? true air conditioning (not "conditioned air")? More photos of the exterior would help.

Just looking at the photos I'd guess it's worth a couple thousand dollars. Looks like it's sat out in the elements for awhile. Ask more, then accept "best offer".

If your friend has the time, she would do well to advertise the car in the Hudson club's magazine (which can be done at no cost if she works through a Club member). The magazine comes out every two months so that is the downside, but on the upside you have 3,000 to 3,500 Hudson enthusiasts reading it (only a fraction of that number patronize our website). In a pinch she could just put it on ebay and hope for the best.
