For those of you not in the Facebook group, I will repost here.
Another item off my wish list came in the mail today thanks to Rick Clark! Any thoughts on the leatherwork? It looks to have done the job all these years as I can't feel any cracks in the bakeite (sp?), saving a big resto job.

WOW!!! That is the best looking leatherwork I have ever seen. You have your work cut out for you bringing the rest of the car to match this kind of quality. Rick does amazing work. I really like the added touch of the wrapping surrounding the wheel at each end of spokes. Very classy.

I actually got this off eBay. The seller wouldn't ship to Canada, so Rick offered his services as a go-between and passed it on to me. The leatherwork looks very old and was wondering if this could have been a factory extra? The seller found it at a swap meet, but it didn't work out on his non Hudson project.

Hi Gary - Glad it made it.  Just passed it along - which was the 'hardest part' of the whole process!

Gary

Rick, thanks again and let me know when your repayment makes it to you. Never know when I may require your Postmaster General services again! LOL!

That is a lovely looking steering wheel Gary ; how did you find it?

Gary

I have several searches set up to email me when they show up on eBay. Waited for 3 years for one to show up! I still haven't retrieved the '38 Hudson yet to check if it has a door handle to send you. Hope to get it in about 3 weeks.

Worth the wait then; good find!
