A gentleman phoned me today, who would like to find a nice Jet Liner.Super Jet.  He noticed this car for sale, at "Country Classics": http://www.oldridetrader.com/listing-detail/?theid=114890 .  Does anyone know this car in terms of its condition or history?  Is Country Classics a reputable dealer?  What would be areasonable price for this car as shown?

I'm in Virginia -- does anyone know of a Super Jet for sale that's a bit closer to Virginia than Illinois?

    Jon, That is a '53 Super Jet, with a ratty interior.

    Hudson only made Jet Liners in 1954.

    My "bad" -- he actually wants a Super Jet!  Don't know why I thought he wanted a Jet Liner.

    A little late to the party but I have had a friend go look at this exact car.

    It needs a lot of love... there's rust and lots of bondo along with a lousy paint job slathered on this old girl. Country classic cars has a bad rep on many of the internet forums for just that reason: overpriced cars with misrepresented condition issues.

    That car would need a lot of work, and the asking price is nuts!

    Have heard the same thing about them.  Was told they also have recently changed the name of their company.  As always, buyer be aware --- very aware. 

    Speaking of which I am also looking for a Hudson.  Would like to find a Jet 2 door with automatic.   Super Jet or Jetliner would certainly be a plus.  Want a no rust, good driver in decent shape.   If you know of one please let me know.   Probably best to email me at hotrodsbyray@yahoo.com since not on the forum very often.   Shucks, might even look at one of those big old Hudsons if could find a 2 door at a decent price.
