1927 Hudson for sale Milwaukee

Nice looking car. I think the price is reasonable as well?

I rebuilt this car in 2004. the reason the radiator is black is that the shell was in such poor condition it was unplateable (is that a word??) It was paper thin and riddled with rust, so the only practical option was to bog it and paint it. The engine is completely rebuilt, and is one of the nicest running super Sixes you will ever come across. The major problem any new owner will have with this car is the split rims, which have multiple welds in them and will have to be replaced. However, new rims are available from australia now, at a cost of around $200 each. I did convert his car to left-hand drive, so it has some non-standard components, as I usde the r.h.d. steering wheel and hub, so it has a dash switch for the lights. Otherwise it is a superb car all round, even if I do say so myself.

Tha car originally belonged to a N.Z. H.E.T. club member, who spent aroun d 30 years dismantling the car and spreading all over town to various people to do the engine, the chassis, upholstery, steering, wheels, etc. Eventually he kanaged to reclainm the motor form a taken-over engine rebuilder, and brought ti to me to put together. it was a cobbled together pile of '28 and '29 parts, but I eventually got it assembled, and it is one of the best running super sixes ever. Shortly after this he died, and his son, who was living in the U.S. commissioned me to see if I could gather the rest of the parts up and restore the car, which I did. I had to undo a lot of things that had been done incorrectly - for instance the wooden spoked wheels were all loose and rattly, but I eventually got it done and shipped to the U.S. in time for the original owner's grandson's wedding. I don't think the current owner is really interested, as I have not heard from them since the car arrived, and it does not surprise me it is for sale. It appears that they have only driven it in parades and such like. I think it is a pty that it ever left our country, as it would be much better utilised here with our lesser volume of traffic allowing us to motor freely without too much trouble.
