I have e-mailed him for pictures, as there is none posted on the link.

Received these pics via e-mail. Looks like a really nice car:

Looks unaltered. Even has the anti icing pipe in place and the vacuum tank for fuel.
These are great cars , I believe the quality of this model saved Hudson during the depression years. What a value for the dollar.
My family remembers us passing some step downs on our way to the National meet in
Baltimore. Ah , the memories.
I thought I did well driving a 29 to a meet , only to find Jack Smith there with his house trailer behind his 29 coupe!
Every Hudsonite needs to drive a 29 , or at least ride in one.

I emailed with Pete Booz regards this car. He points out the black leather was not available, should be brown, that the front floor had an embossed rubber mat or could be carpeted in a restoration, that the top oilers are missing on the valve cover and that the VC should be "as cast" finish rather than highly polished. Also that the wonderful varnished wood wheels were a higher cost option than the wire wheels at this time. Rated it a very desirable but not totally accurate piece.

as an adjunct to Still's comments: Hudson only made their coupes, coaches, and std. sedan bodies, all others by outside suppliers.
This is a convertible coupe with windows in the doors & a fixed windshield (compare photos with those of Ivan's '29 roadster at San Mateo). It was a very expensive model, as I recall the most expensive on the short w.b., and like the roadster bodied by Briggs (should be a body builder's plate on the bottom of the cowl in the right side).
