    hudsonnut 2009-Well that's like asking if its cold outside?. It depends on where your at. I would say that a '41 C8cv is a rare car,but what is its condition using the antique car scale? 1 to 6 ?. I think someone will probably post that. It was on a previous thread.

    If you have a number 1 car (meaning show room condition) the Standard Guide to Cars and Prices shows a price of about $35,000. Number 2 is $24,000, number 3 $14,000, number 4 $7,000. Number 5 $4,080. These are from a book about 6 years old and reflect aucton prices, but the prices don't change much over the years. These prices are just a guide, a starting point. Your car is worth what someone is willing to pay. Hope this helps.

    Hudsonut2009-

    Keep in mind that old car prices are extremely subjective. Use any prices you receive as a basic guide in establishing your own "value". As has been stated, any car (or anything, for that matter) is only worth what one is willing to pay and what the seller is willing to accept. Just because two wealthy individuals got into a bidding war at a fancy auction over a similar car in the past, and jacked the price up to stratospheric levels, does not mean that every car like that one in the world is worth the same amount.

    All convertibles of all makes are highly desirable cars, compared to closed-roof versions, which generally mean they command higher selling (and buying) prices. As many Hudnuts often tell me, "They don't make 'em anymore", which is another way of saying that all Hudsons, and all older cars, continue to get rarer every single day and traditionally increase in "value" (I use the term loosely).

    Purchasing an automobile for investment purposes and purchasing for personal satisfaction are two entirely different animals. Which one are you? The answer will help dictate what you are willing to pay.

    To me, and most other Hudnuts I know, the prospect of owning the greatest car to ever come out of Detroit, is simply priceless and the amount of money put into one's Hudson is but a shadow compared to the sheer joy of owning such a fine automobile.

    Whatever the market will bare. Whatever is bid on e-bay, or auction.

    I believe there are four C8 that I know about. To my knowledge I can count eight long wheelbase and one swb '41 converts. There are probably more but I would bet not more than a dozen or so total. Check the vin # and make sure it starts with a 14 because I have seen non eights made to be C8.
