- i noticed two items in the engine compartment that i haven't seen before - one looks like an overflow tank, mounted on the passenger side fender, near the firewall - the other looks like a power brake booster, mounted on the firewall on the driver's side - this hornet looks pretty original and untouched to me

- any info on these two items would be most appreciated - thanks!

Yes, brake booster on driver's side and washer tank on passenger.

The black tank on the fender is a vacuum tank for the power brakes.  May not be all original, I don't think Hudson offered power brakes until 1954.

The vacuum booster and the power brake unit are from a 54 Hudson

There is a washer bottle too, near the radiator, passenger side.
