    I'm still missing two bumperettes:

    Right Front and Left Rear.  If anyone can help out with those, please let me know:

    Here's what Alex was referring to.  I post it in the hope that it will help inspire others to have a lot of "stick-to-it-iveness" and save more Hudsons!  The following is what the car looked like back when I bought it:

    I still can't find you any decent bumper parts. They are too rough to fix.

    Russel: Try Stu Coleman in Montana for your bumper parts...I'm sure you've talked with Jason at Vintage Coach as well. Nearly 3,000 hits on this thread...will there be room in this beautiful car for you and your ego? LOL Absolutely terrific work and I would love to have a start-to-finish photo essay for the WTN when you're ready...

    Russell,

    It's almost a given that you will be sleeping in the convertible in the
    parking lot at French Lick this year.  Don't assume that Miss Vicki and the
    kids will feel the same way, book their room now.

    OK backing up with no top is a piece of cake.. Try it with the mail slot rear window! LOL.

    Damn that's a great looking car.
