Re: [HSS] 1920 serial #s

Unknown

Pete,



I wish you would make up your mind with these

serial numbers.



You have been raving interminably about Buzz's

recent accquisition as a 1920 Hudson Limosine.

You have even posted the series designator (12-0)

and the serial number.



Now you tell us that the 1920 models are Model

O. Which is it - Model O or is it Model 10-O,

11-O and 12-O. Butler's History of Hudson says

1921 was 10-O, 11-O and 12-O - which you

previously arbitraily assigned to 1921!!!!!!!!



The last time I queried you on this you

dismissed my posting as "no big deal because

Hudson made minor changes and besides there are

not that many left anyway." Which is all the

more reason to get it right.



Technically you are correct in that the Model

H, Super-Six, tho intro'd in Jan 1916 was

considered by Hudson as a 1917 model. You are

fond of quoting Butlers book, yet you assign

model J/4J to 1918 totally disregarding Butlers

book putting it in 1917, thus bringing the Model

M to 1918 and O to 1919 and the 10-, 11- and 12-O

to 1920.



If you are going to diseminate information to

the general public it would behoove you to get it

right the first time. I have spent over 20 years

researching this stuff - I am not 100% correct,

nor will I ever be, nor will any Hudson

researcher. There are, yes, better out there

than I am - but I resent being told "It is no big

deal" by someone who hasn't a clue about what he

is talking about.
