I'd like to find a '50 Commodore sedan in reasonably nice condition. Six or Eight cylinder, either is fine. Currently drivable is a big plus. James Sheehan MN

    Dan, it's nice of you to respond to my ad. I thank you for that. I've thought about that one a lot, but I don't think that I see $20,000 worth of car. The interior is quite shabby looking, I think. Maybe I'm wrong, do any of you have an opinion?

    Yep needs new upholstery.  I would want to either check it out myself or someone that knows Hudsons.  If it just needs upholstery it may be a $15K car?

    Yes. I agree with you on both points. I wish that there were more fabrics with an authentic quality to them, but it's been seventy years since this car was built. We can't expect the impossible.

    You can get authentic fabrics from SMS Upholstery . Yes, before everyone starts screaming, some people have had good luck with them, some not. So beware. I got exact replacement fabric for my 1951 Pacemaker. Very happy with the result.
