Couldn't find a Hudson in here

[Deleted User]

Well, its a little off topic because I couldn't find even one Hudson in this piece, but boy-oh-boy, does it ever hit the nail on the head when it comes to explaining where the "car nut" took a hold on a lot of us old geysers !!



I still can't figure out why more "hot rodders" of the day, didn't grab a '48-'53 Hudson coupe, and drop a Kick-butt V8 in there, ( as was the way to go in those days), instead of spending all those bucks chopping a Merc to get the same look !! Maybe to be right at the top of the "waaaaayy cooool" list you just hadta be able to brag about how much you sunk into your "Custom" ??



Anyway, to those of us that were teens in the fifties and early sixties ... this will make you grin from ear to ear ... and even though those teen years had some ills and strife ... we should be forever gratefull we got to be just the right age to live those years of good clean fun and comraderie !! I guess you'd really have had to be there to know the difference, but somehow we've lost the innocence, and sense of decency that was just the "norm" back then.



Someone did an awesome job putting this together and with sound to boot. At the very end of the video you'll hear the song "Thunder Road" sung by the star of that movie for which it was the theme. Not really that uncommon except this is the one and only song ever recorded, for publication, sung by Robert Mitchum !!

By golly, on second look --- yep, that appears to be a '37 Coupe in there made by good 'ol Hudson !!



Shoulda took a second look before I made the post, but the message comes through loud and clear just the same. :-)

Close, this one is a 36, has the suicide doors. Yep, I was lucky enough to have been there. Had a 37 Terraplane 4DR. in '52, all the extras and only 32,000 on it !! Got another one now. Several other Huds since '52. Ah, if I could only go back and do it again !! BUD
