Re: 1915 Moon Touring

Unknown

Hi Hudson fans,



Just looking at the photos of the 1915 Moon -

and I believe it is exactly that.



Refering to Krause Standard

Catalog......1805-1942 (1st Ed, 1st Printing) on

page 921 under 1915 Moon and then going to page

666 under 1915 Hudson and comparing the pictures

we gave the following differences that readily

stand out.



The hood on the 1915 Hudson is flatter from

radiator to windshield - the Moon has a more

apparent slope. Another feature are the front

fenders - Hudsons have a slightly more gradual

kickup from the running board where the Moon is

sharper. Also note the hub caps - the Hudson

used a trianular shape, bit hard to see in the

Catalog photo, but it's there - in the photos of

the Moon that is missing.



There is also the absence of the Hudson

triangle on the radiator shell. Also note the

interior shot of the dash board - Hudsons had a

gas fill on the right side, I believe, in 1915

(and other years in that era).



So all of the above leads me to believe that it

is indeed a 1915 Moon.
