1940 Hudson Opera Coupe "Rock guards".

[Deleted User]

I recently bought a '40 coupe in great shape. It runs and after brake work - it stops. It has no running boards and therefore should have rock guards. Wildrick does not have them - so I am posting hoping someone knows where I might locate them.
I am a Hudson newbie - and have found the community to be very open to newcomers. THANKS!

Welcome to the world of Hudsoning, Jerry. Metro Molded Parts has them for '42-'47. They're molded flat but conform easily to fender shape. Maybe they'd work on the '40.

Thanks Park. I will take a look at some '42's and maybe give them a call.

Dont think 42-46 will fit. they have the cutout for the "flare" at lower body..Some of the 40-41 chrysler products fender guard rubbers look similar to the 40 hudsons. RD
