Re:
Rob, yes, I rebuilt that car from pieces scattered all over the city where
Scott's grandfather lived. He had farmed the work out to various people,
and died before any of it was completed. It is a 1928 standard sedan, and
the bumpers were fitted as an after-market acceesory. There were no
factory bumpers before 1929. There are a number of features on your car
which are unique, as I converted it to left hand drive. The radiator shell
was painted black when it left here, as it was so thin it was not able to be
plated. The light switch is on the dash, with a foot dipswitch, as I did not
have an original centre boss assembly with the switch at the bottom of the
column. I agree, it is a great car, and drives really well. The
transmission is a little noisy, but I did not have any better gears to put
in.

Hi Geoff ,I purchased the Hudson Sedan from Scott Bicknell and his father
from Hartford Wisconsin which is near Milwaukee. The title said it was a
1927 Hudson that was imported from NewZealand. I'm sure it is a1929 Hudson
though. I believe that John Bicknell's father emigrated here from NewZealand
and had the car shipped here. I was told that you worked on the car. It's a
great car! Scott said that since his grandfather passed away the Hudson
pretty muc just sat and they didn't drive it. They felt the car should go to
some one who would use it and take very good care of it. It's a two tone
green with black fenders. I'll send a picture as soon as I can.
Sincerely
Rob Ziehwein

Hi,I hope everyone is well. I have another question about my
29 Hudson sedan
I've recently aquired. It has a different looking front
and rear bumper from
the originals. The front one is a real cowcatcher. Since my
Hudson came from
NewZealand I was wondering if that was something that was
put on the cars
that were exported down under.
