Hi All,



I finally have the CJ-5 I was talking about ready for sale. It goes in the AutoTrader tomorrow. I know it's not a Hudson - but money I get from selling it will go into the 49! ;)



If you know anyone into nice 4x4's or CJ's - please let them know.



I have a web page with detailed descriptions and over 100 hi-res digital pictures of the CJ so anyone can see the work I do and the quality of the JEEP.



GOTO 49C8.com and click on the "For Sale" sign!



I'm also planning on posting to the amc discussion as well.

    It's related! American Motors was a company formed from Hudson and Nash Kelvinator which aquired Jeep Then Chrysler came along .....Has anyone noticed the Chrysler styling lately? I see a faint Hudson influence.

    Right on about the Hudson influence, however faint it may be. One of their offerings with the egg crate grille looks like the result of a wild night between a step-down and a 55 Chrysler 300. LOL

    I was told by a HET'er who was recieving the Chrysler marketing magazine, you know - that paraphenalia that companies send you after you've bought one of their products, that the unveiling picture of the Dodge Magnum had it sitting side by side with a 4 door Hornet on a racetrack. I also believe they have had some more publicity shots with Hudsons and showcasing their lineage and successes in racing.



    If you catch the side profile of a Magnum - you can actually see the family genetics.



    Somebody at Chrysler-Daimler is a Hudson fan. The same can be said of Pixar, as they have been showcasing Hudson cars as well. "The Polar Express" had several and the new feature "Cars" has a Hornet as a main character. I have got to see "Cars" as the Hornet, voiced by Paul Newman, is the sage advisor for a modern NASCAR.

    No kidding! The "Gladiator" is one of their better designs, although I believe it will be WAY underpowered... (4 Cyl engine) -

    A 4 Cyl Turbo Diesel, pushing 165 HP, mated to a six speed transmission, should move it fairly well.

    But the real toy would be the Jeep Hurricane: Two 5.7 Hemi engines (one in front the other in the back) in a two seater carbon fiber body with dual mode four wheel steering.

    That Hurricane can actually turn 360 degress on its own axis with the computer controlled 4 way steering!
