1926 Hudson Info Needed

Jon B

A fellow chapter member purchased a 1926 Hudson sedan at an auction this summer. He's more of a StepDown person, so this earlier stuff is new to him, but he's taken up the challenge!



Apparently the body is aluminum. Did Biddle and Smart (or anyone else, for that matter) make bodies for Hudson in '26? His serial number starts with "73", which puts it in the "second series" of Hudsons for that year according to Alex Burr's "Hudson Handbook".



Any information on the body would be appreciated. If you own such a car I'd love to pass along your name to my friend, as he may have future questions!

I got a bunch of 1926 literature over there - instruction book, mechanical specs, and the aforementioned body parts book for 1926 Biddle & Smart Hudson Sedan and Brougham etc.

When you pull up the web site below it has a picture of a 1926 aluminum body. When I purchased my 28 Essex a month ago I read about the alumunium bodies and just remembered where I had read it.

Hope this helps...
