Picked these up in Hershey. They may be posted somewhere else, but I didn't remember seeing them. They were reprints and the price was right.

    I don't have this in the online library - but if I can get a print out from your post I will have it int the online library!!!
    I do have some from the 30's - 1933, 1935 and 1939.
    Thanx for posting this.

    Alex, can you just save the file to your computer after you open it up. Then add it to the library that way?

    Hmmmm - at the moment, for some reason I can't even open the file!!! It opened for me earlier today and I got a fairly decent print out - not perfect but I can work with it, I think. I probably would have better luck downloading it if it were a .jpg file - it appears to be a .png file.

    Mine is a copy of the original, but I can make a copy and mail it to you if that'd help.

    Alex, both of the uploads are PDF files. You can download the files and convert to what ever you want after the download. Each file contains 4 pages.

    Well, it's downloading to the file I'm sending it to - but it's going down as a .png file and so isn't showing up where I downloaded it to. Interesting!!

    That's pretty cool to look through and figure out what options were delivered with my car. As far as paint goes, I now know that mine was originally delivered with the RO code in 53, and repainted (in the 80's) with the RO code for 52!

    On that note, does anyone know why they might have dropped the Boston Ivory in favor of the Honey Cream in 53?

    hornet53-

    Sometimes things like that happen because the parent company (Hudson, in this case) switches suppliers, or the current supplier can no longer provide what they had been providing. It's always like that. With this last restoration, I came across 7 different lug nuts that Hudson used in the "Hornet years", and there is probably more than that. Why? Probably no one supplier could keep up with demand, so Hudson bought from many different sources.

    The first rule of selling is, "Sell it first, figure out how to deliver it later." That means a lot of things can change, even in the middle of a run.
