Saw a 31 Hudson at the Daytona Turkey run swap meet today.

TwinH

Original Hudson 8 rumbleseat coupe. Offered at $15K, a driver with newish (black) paint and a really nice interior.
Sure hope this one doesn't go to a rodder and sorry that I don't have any pics to share. Any thoughts on the price?
Ballpark?

I may be getting a little more "nitpicky" as I get older and while I'm surely no authority on these cars the seller was certainly much less knowledgeable. Missing the mascot and both pieces that capture the hood hinge pin,mismatched door handles(both wrong),wrong interior handles,missing linkage that holds the windshield open. Only the spare wheel had a hubcap and it was in poor shape,all 5 wheels were 18" split ring but had one-piece spokes not adjustable spokes and nipples (but I have no idea what would be correct) Marvel carb and vacuum pump included but not at the swapmeet.I had a piece of exhaust tubing J bend converting it to a downdraft carb. Not entirely butchered but I suspected their electric fuel pump was to much pressure for the Marvel too handle (or it could have just been junk). Possibly this is what $15K gets you these days but my plate is full with my 49 Commodore and 30 Essex and a couple of Chevies behind them. I'd just hate to see this one cut up into a street rod.I have contact info so maybe I will check later this week to see if it sold at the swapmeet.
