FOR SALE 1950 Hudson Pacemaker Sedan Cosmetically beautiful, Needs valves, rings, cam gear, maybe motor rebuild: I figured I’d give you Hudson folks first crack at this car I’m not sure if any of you are in the market and as much as I hate to part with it I’m going to test the waters, at $5,000 firm before I would list it on Ebay. Comes with plenty of extra parts and even an extra motor if you want it. IF you’re interested please Email me. I can give you plenty of pics and details at HETad19789@hotmail.com (drop the HET in the email address)



TRADES CONSIDERED

I realize I would be trading my mechanical problems for cosmetic ones however,

I would be willing to a take a trade on this car for the following cars:



Any ’48-’53 step-down that is a solid runner ready to put a few thousand miles on it. It’s ok it if needs paint, chrome, or interior but must be a solidly running relaible car mechanically. Runs, drives, stops. Has solid frame.



I’ll take any model ’54 Coupe. But must again be a runner meeting the same criteria as above.



’46 – ’47 4 door Sedan or coupe, in solid runner condition.



’55-’57 Hudson must have either a Hudson engine or the 327 do not want a Packard motor. Must have the folding bed option. Must be a solid runner. Prefer that it has a continental kit.



Any ’29 – ’31 4 door sedan or 7-passenger sedan. Running or not, even if needing a complete restoration, but must be complete parts wise and have a solid frame. It’s ok if it’s missing the engine / transmission. Dual side-mounts highly highly preferred.



’37 Hudson or Terraplane 4 door sedan. In running, driveable condition.



Any ’40-’41 model Hudson long wheelbase sedan, must be a solid running car needing restoration or not.





NON-HUDSON CARS I’D BE INTERESTED IN TRADING FOR:

’41-’48 Caddy series 75 or 67, 7 passenger sedan complete, preferably running condition.



’62-’64 Impala 2 door. In solid running, driving shape.



’46 Dodge D24 4 door sedan solid runner driver.



Any pre or post-war ’46-‘48 7 passenger sedan of any Make that runs and drives.



A 1978 Thunderbird in perfect original condition.



Other trades considered in solid runner/driver condition only. Prefer Orphan makes

    Aaron,



    Sorry to hear you're "throwing in the sponge" regarding the Pacemaker. But, maybe it's time for someone else to have a try at it. Hope it sells soon to a good home and you get your price too.

    Not necessarily giving up yet. But I really hate to have the car sit through another winter with nothing be done for it and if I can get that price and it gets a good home I'm willing to part with it. I'll put the money into my '47 Commodore 8 sedan. My ultimate goal is to have two Hudson's fully running driving, and restored so that I'll have a Hudson to drive anytime I want to for a meet or just for fun. This just might be a roundabout way of getting there.



    From the standpoint of the car being a historic artifact, I want to know this car is going to last another 50 years and I'm not sure if I'm the best person to make sure that's going to happen right now.

    That makes perfect sense! But a '78 Thunderbird? We need to have a talk . . . :D

    LMAO. Yeah I know it's not a rare car or anything like that in fact they produced more of them in '78 than any other year. However it was both the year I was born and also the first car I ever owned. So has some sentimental value. Electrical systems on those cars were not very good though.

    I figured it had to be something like that. Can't argue with sentiment . . .

    Aaron,



    I don't think I'd give up on that car if I were you. Mechanical things are easier fixed than making one look like yours.



    Very nice looking Pacemaker, I'll forward the address on to my cousin - he was expressing a desire for a Hudson lately.
