    Welcome aboard, lockport! Throw on a pic or two and show us what you've got. A lot of good help here on the forum to help with any aspect of repair you may need. The only dumb questions here are the ones that don't get asked!:)

    Serial number 176687 is a 1952 number - car was built in June 1952 (serial numbers 173241 to 179411.)



    1951 Hudsons have rectangular parking lights; 1952 taper to nearly a point on the outer edge;

    1951 Hudsons have a chrome /\ in the middle of the grille; 1952 don't have the chrome - only the mounting bars, so to speak, inside the grille.

    Alex-



    '53's don't have the /\, I think you'll find the '52's DO have them.

    Except for the '52 Pacemaker. The /\ was omitted on the '52 Pacemaker series.
