Does anybody know about this car?
I was poking around looking for a possible Hudson Gasser dragster, and found this;
and this was the caption:
I remember watching this little Anglia many times...or maybe I only saw it a few times and it made a big impression! The "Little Toad" was powered by a Fuel Injected Hudson 6 cylinder engine, and it hauled! If you've never heard a "bad" 6 kicking butt in the quarter, you're missing something. They have a sound that's all their own...and it's cool
It seems Hudson had a place in the gasser wars of the early/mid sixties - at least in southern california where these pictures were taken. I find that amazing, given the other engines being run in those classes.
Does anybody here know anything about this car?
