Hudson '55 -59 Concept Artist Drawings - anyone save them?

A number of years ago there was a post on here from a guy that did some cool step-down concepts for '55 through '59.  The page I bookmarked no longer works and I thought I had saved it as a .pdf but I be darned if I can find it.  Did anyone else save these drawings.  They were pretty cool.

Here is the original thread:

that would be them.  Do you have it in a pdf or other format?

I never saw the wrecked version before!

Thanks

I saved the file in the original html format.  Let's see if I can attach it to this post.

Download the pictures, open a word processor program, create a new document. Insert the pictures into the document and save as PDF

All I have is jpg images, no text.

There is a very talented air brush guy in our midst. Perhaps he could be encouraged to do some original stuff.. Sure would like to see his rendering of a stock 49 commodore eight convert... grinnnn.

If someone can send the original page I will turn it into a jpg and post it here.

OK fellows, been doing some experimenting, and have saved it to a PDF file.   I hope it works "Old Farmer"

Terrific styling concepts IMHO.  Never seen them before.  Thanks for posting.  I'm also very fond of the styling proposals that Robert F. Andrews and others had for the step-down while at Hudson in the '40s.  Those are shown in the Hudson issue of "Automobile Quarterly", volume 9, #4.  It's too bad the Fisher Brothers were not successful in their efforts to acquire Hudson.  It would have been very interesting to see the direction the company would have taken with the infusion of new management and funds.  Thanks again.

I wonder if anybody is going to redesign one of their cars?
A lot of talent in this club !

Has anyone had contact with the artist.  I know way back when these were first posted someone did talk to him about joining the club but I did not hear anything since.  He does say the '59s were coming and those would have been with some hefty fins if he kept up with the industry styling at the time.
