    Paul, F.Y.I. that rack was specifically fitted to the 1929 Hudson.

    I have never seen a '32 or '33 in the flesh, so you have me there Doc, but I think they had folding racks, hinged in the centre. Someone with more knowledge than me on these modes will have to fill us in on that.

    I'M NOT SURE I WILL MEASURE IN THE MORNING AND POST IN THE MORNING
  • The one pictured above on the 33T rod is not the correct one for a 33T. The 33T rack has a place in the top center area for a emblem like the one on the griffen.

  • I don't have any pic's of the 33H trunk rack. Try contacting Alan Lewis in Manasas,Va., he has the 33H pictured above and his father has a 32H8Cp.

    Someone asked about the correct trunk rack for a '33 Hudson (not Terraplane). Here's a frame from an old movie, showing a '33 Hudson about to drive into a building. Not a great shot but you can get some idea of the rack...

    Paul, you have impeccable timing. Just heard on TV that the Pittsburgh area was expecting another 24" of snow with high winds last night !
