Hello all. I have been following this forum for a while and have a load of questions. I purchased a 1951 Hudson Commodore 8 with its original 254 engine about 3 years ago after doing lots of looking. It is a great car!!! I gets loads of attention at all the shows, my two little girls call it their brother because it's baby blue and dove gray. I joined the local Chicago -Milwaukee HET club and the National club. I look forward to getting to know one another as we share a common interest.

    Welcome aboard.  As you will find out this is a great bunch of people.  I've always maintained there is (very) thin line as to which is more important - the cars of the people.  We're very laid back and love to discuss Hudsons anytime, any place.

    I personally like the step-down eights - with everybody fixated on the Hornets the eights get a tad overlooked.  But that's personal choice.  They're all great cars.

    John is an absolute great guy! He was recently featured in an article in the Wall Street Journal, hope every got a chance to read it and see the great photos of his car collection. I really enjoy reading the tech articles. I recently found Walt Mordenti's technical articles and memorizing all the one that apply to my vehicle.

    Commodare_254 - I've scanned both of Walt's tech tip books and they are in the on-line library (filed under "Other H-E-T Literature").  I'm going to scan the rest of them from the WTN's when I get this 1951 shop manual done.
