consigned a few days ago a very rare '39 CC8 Victoria coupe which has jump seats that face each other & a pivoting front seat.

It's here in Az. & saw it many years ago when it was at Al Saffrahn's shop in Chandler (he's since moved to Maricopa). Still in original owning family & has nearly reached it's "Buy it Now" price.

If interested take a look at the pics, esp. of the rear compartment.

    I later bought a partially restored '39 CC8 cp. like this one exc. it was a business coupe which does not have a pivoting front seat, which is fixed in the bus. cp., & has a package panel. These were sometimes referred to as "salesman's coupes".

    Rick - thanks so much for posting those pics, esp. of the rear "Victoria coupe" compartment.

    What a sweet car. I wish my roadster was this far along and this nice.... I hope it stays local, I would love to see it in person.

    The tail lamps shown in those pictures were only used here in Australia on the 1938 Terraplanes, we had the tear drop lamps for ALL 1939 Hudsons did not matter if it was an 8 cyl or a 6 cylinder.



    That sure is a beautiful motor car.

    These tail lamps are the same as on my 39 convertible. They were used on the coups and convertibles for 39.

    Sweet car!! I like the jump seats in the rear, perfect for two little boys!!

    Hey Pete! What's up with your avatar? I like this one better than the last one. LOL!

    Wow! Met the reserve already, with 7 days to go. I wonder if they are interested in a trade straight across? LOL

    Never have seen what the rear seats look like. I needed that for my 40 Victoria model 44 coupe.

    Russell - prior avatar was of '35 Railton drophead I have now, current one of a '36 "sportsman's coupe" (expensive highly equipped model with rumble seat) that I used to have & sold to Eldon about 5 years ago (he's done nothing with it).

    How about treating us with a few photo's of the Railton?

    Rick,

    Yep, I do plan on restoring the 1939 112 sedan delivery within the next few years; it has a really good solid frame and body with the exception of about 200 bullet holes. I just finished my 1954 sedan in July and am now getting around to fixing a few things on my wife’s 1950 Studebaker Champion Regal Deluxe Starlite Coupe (big name for such a small car), and by the way it is “her car” but I have never taught her how to drive it. I then need to take care of a few issues on my 1950 Pacemaker (50A). The vehicle sitting underneath the 39 is a 1940 Packard/Henney Funeral Coach (Hearse). It runs and drives, but I need to put a new wiring harness in it and get it repainted.

    Pete-

    I'd really like to see that Sportsman's Coupe. You can e-mail me a pic and I'll post it if you like.

    Onerare, as you may be aware, Allen Walrath (New York State) has a '39 panel delivery but, interestingly enough, it's the Pacemaker model with the headlights in the fender.



    Josh, I have one of those side-facing seats which you're welcome to use as a pattern if you want to try to replicate one. Mine is the fixed one (shown on the driver's side in the photo), not the (apparently) hinged one on the passenger's side.

    Guys - see of I have any old ones, do have several others of it I took at Eldon's.

    Photos of the '36 Railton "sportman's coupe" are now posted at the Hudson 8 Yahoo web site.

    I think this is a picture of Allen's 1939 Panel Delivery. I have been told that it used to be owned by Dennis Finch? I believe it is a long wheelbase vehicle, mine is the 112.



    I don't think we hijacked this thread, we're just killing time waiting to see what the coupe sells for.

    I wish I were more computer savy: I googled the website and got a photo of a 37 Railton at Medowbrook. I expect that is not yours? Just exactly how do I find your car at the Hudson 8 Yahoo web site?

    Brownie - I tried to "drag the link" here but can't do that either, let alone bring the pics here! Technology can be so great IF you know how to get it to work, LOL!

    I just added a "Post" there with a bunch of info about that particular car & body style.

    That panel has been around the club. The first time I ever saw that vehicle was in OK City (circa 1976 or so) at a BIG COUNTRY HET meet. The vehicle was being driven by two fellas to California. If memory serves, the vehicle had been purchased in Chicago from Gus Suza.???

    To post a link, go to the Internet command line (the one at the top of the page) and hilight the link by right clicking your mouse on the (browser icon) then the link will turn blue click on the link and when the box shows select copy. Come back to this page and in the REPLY Box that opens when you post move your mouse pointer above that looks like a WORLD with a chain. A box saying "insert link" will appear right click that world icon and a box will appear... past the link you copied into the box. Now that will appear in your reply. If you want to post pictures from else where on the net... move the mouse icon over the picture and right click ... this will bring up a box with the "address of the picture". Highlight the address and copy it. Come back to this reply box and select the icon above that is a yellow square with mountains and circle in it. Right click the icon and past in the address. This should bring the picture address to the reply and when you preview the post the links and pictures should appear.



    Good Luck

    would take more than "luck", take a GPS to navigate all that jazz - far easier to just go to "Hudson 8" & if interested/like it, make it a "favorite".
  • RL Chilton

    O.k., well I tried typing in "Hudson 8" in my search browser, but didn't come up with where I was trying to go. Anybody post a link of where Pete is talking about?
  • oldhudsons
    oldhudsons Senior Contributor
    Russell - it's at "Yahoo, Groups". I tried dragging it from "My Favorite Places" to here but it won't do it (don't know why as easy to do into an e-mail, but "what do chickens know" as we used to say in Indiana, LOL).

    I went on the site today and joined up. Got my password and everthing. And yet, all I can access is the home page that has a photo of a very nice stepdown (49 if I remember right?) I can not get anywere from there. I guess I might wait for a day or two to see if something happens, but I am a member of the site now. Perhaps before Christmas I might get to see the railton?
  • oldhudsons

    the 1st 2 are my "old" Railton, the '36 "sportsman's coupe", the 3rd photo the '35 "drophead coupe" I have now (current photo, purchased in this condition, working on the wiring now), and the last photo of a restored '35 almost identical to mine. This was at a ROC meet at a military base in England so the guy sitting in the rear is dressed up to look like Winston Churchill.

    and I'd like to thank '46 PU for posting them, LOL!

    Rick-

    Thank you!! I tried signing up as well, no luck.

    Pete-

    That's gorgeous. I recall seeing this one at the museum, I believe.
