1927 Hudson custom racer with a supercharger on the front. Not Hudson built.

Is this the one that Eildon Hostetler bought at Amelia Island in 09? Or possibly its mate? There were 2 of them made at the same time

I thought there were six or seven made. Is the Hostetler example the one "Corky" Coker had earlier?

I remember seeing an article about a car like this being built "Down Under".

Love the hubcap incorporated into the supercharger end plate.

oldhudsons, I think they were all made down under (Australia).

Aa far as I'm aware only 2 of these cars were made, and that was in Melbourne Australia by Wolfgang Rebien. One of them ended up via 2 or 3 owners in the Hostetler collection in 2009, don't know where the other one went.

There was a good article on them at the time in Restored Cars magazine, if I can find it I'll post it here.

The amount of thought and detail that went into the build is astounding, for instance the headlights swivel with the steering, all the custom aluminium castings are beautifully designed and executed.

In the meantime...
