Hudsons------

RonS

thanks for the post. Some Hudsons sold for big bucks. Strange that some sedans sold for more than converts. I guess you had to be there.

A big auction with a lot of Hudson's. I would have been a bidder (perhaps not a byer) on the 29 sedan and the 36 coupe. I have to say that I am impressed that the stepdown sedans bring such good prices at auction. I would think you would have to be there to see condition as a possible reason why a convertible would go for 50K and another for 102K. Would have been a fun auction to be at. However, I will never understand auction prices....

I was there and so amazed by the prices. They really did sell the cars for those prices.
Someone sees the value in Hudsons at prices higher than we are used to them bringing.

Some observations, thoughts: Hudson prices seemed really "strong" to me as compared to cars that were far more expensive than they at the time, like those Packard Caribbeans. A lot of their so called "collectible" cars from '60s up used as "daily drivers" by ole coots in areas like Az. & So. Calif. See John's '29 dual cowl phaeton run thru, got up to $102K but didn't meet reserve; wonder if family/heirs still own it?

@Ron. Maybe some sedans sold for more than converts because the buyers figured they might need something with enough room to live in of they get foreclosed on or their wives found out what they were buying at that price and kicked them out of the house. LOL
