I have 2 Essex's, but I guess they really are Hudsons, I also have a 1921 Durant A-22 with fewer than 15,000 miles and a 68 T bird with 36,000 miles.

With this many vehicles, you should have a website, just to display them... Any pictures? Where do you park them all?
Aw hell - I got more than 82 "old" cars - around 160 or so. Some are on display here in my computer room, but the rest are packed away due to lack of room. Oh, did I mention they are all die cast!!! LOL ROF
Hey, look at the positive side - easy to store, require no resto or maintenance (other than scraping the dust off them once in a while), minimum insurance on my home owners policy, can pack them up and take them anywhere to show off - lets see you have all that fun with full size cars!!!!) hehehehehe You're right - I can't drive them down the street - but on the other hand I don't have to worry about people running into them out on the street!!!
Hudsonly,

Rick,
I keep most of them in South Lake Tahoe, at my business locatons and in hangers at the airport, others I keep near the Bay Area in another business location. I am currently negotiating the purchase of a 40K+ warehouse near Lester and Ray in the Gardnerville-Minden area of Nevada, where I can get them all together. If you are ever in the Tahoe area contact me and I will show you. Alex is right they are a logistic nightmare, but I just can't stop, even with therapy.

Not likely, I rarely if ever sell my cars, check Ebay or Hemmings.

The sad part about my life is that someone always comes along and offers me more money than I think my car is worth and shortly they are marked "SOLD." The plan is that the three I currently have will be sold by my kids after I am gone. My wife simply smiles and says, "We will see."0 -

FYI
I also have a few other cars that rarely get driven after I began restoring Hudson's. My L82 Vette only has 30K mles because when racing I never had time to drive it, then when quit racing I built a Z28 Pro St that became to radical for the street and parked for yrs. It turned high 10's @ 128 with borrowed slicks at a 'Fun Run'. I also have a Custom Built Ford Leisure Van that is rarely used anymore, a Ford 4X4 Flareside, and a Impala LT.
When the Z28 became too radical for the Street, my Wife suggested that I restore a Hudson Pickup like we used to tow our Hudson Racer and Ive never stopped building Hudson's. Ive restored a pair of Hudson Trks, a modified Hornet powered Terraplane, and currently building a '37 Hudson Cpe. In between I built a lightened 'Stepdown' Drag Car for Vintage fun Run's coming up. Each one took about 4 yrs to build, but now retired I can be found every day in my 'Hudson Work Shop'.0 -
I have a 1982 Collector's Edition Corvette, with 50,000 miles. They only made one per dealer. It now sits in the "Good Old Days" Car museum in Hardy,Ar.0
-
Very impressive thread. It would be a treat to see these cars in person and have an opportunity to hear more expansive comments from those who have restored and/or preserved them. We have an assortment of Hudson's and a 1927 American LaFrance fire truck and are in the process of seeing if we can remember where all of the parts from our 52 Hornet belong as restoration continues.0

I had a '56 Dodge Powerwagon, now sold, and currently also have a scratch-built '56 Corvette "SR" replica, a limited edition of the '56 Corvette that had many Sebring Race car parts installed. It's powered by a .040 over 305, dual quad, and 5sp. WC T5 transmission.0

Many of you know Henrietta, our 53 hornet club coupe. She is the cover car for Hemmings History of Hudson. Just at the right place, at the right time. In addition, we own a 1950 Cadillac, model 6219, and a1931 Ford Tudor Dlx. Happy motoring.Ron0

Great looking cars uc4me, don't see many Javelins anymore. Some of you have "way" too many toys, I'm envious !!! Great cars everyone, I love looking at the old stuff.
Here is what I have not including the modern stuff. The 55 Ford was just painted about a month ago, my ugly 51(my daily driver) and my 50 is my second daily driver. Richie.0
