  • The car accually looks to be a 33 Terraplane , long wheelbase car, But as far as I know Hudson did not produce a long wheelbase model in 1932, BUT this car has the unskirted fenders of a 1932 car??? Looks nice tho.

    The '32 E-T was only offered on 1 w. b.

    This car is more likely a convertible coupe than a true roadster which would have no windows in the door.
  • :D hey i got a 33 its a cool rat lol
  • Love the look of that car.

    It is a '32 as it has unskirted fenders, but with dual sidemounts?

    It has a '33 hood ornament & sealed beam headlamps.

    i just got back from the auction. it is a solid car, but later hudson steering column and column shifter installed. floors sheeted over with flat stock, surface rust only but it is everywhere. chassis looks solid, juice brakes installed. the engine compartment is a disaster, motor sounded very nice. gs tank must leak because there is a 2 gallon can in the rumble seat compartment with a hose stuck in the can. front bumper bar is broken in the middle, but it is there. shag carpet and a mouse eaten top but all of the harware for the top is on the car. it appeared to me the side mounts were cut into fenders, not factory and someone told me the luggage rack is off a ford. top bid and sold for .........$25,000 regards, tom
