    Every time I see pictures of that car I am totally amazed. It looks so "production". Hard to believe it's not - Hudson missed the boat, again, on that body style. Probably could have sold more than a few.

    Never get tired of seeing this car. They were posted here right after the National but I agree with what was said. This is one neat car and will always be at the top of my "dream car" list///

    It's such a "natural" -- the lines flow nicely, the wood blends in smoothly with the painted metal. Similar to the late 40's Packard woodies but somehow cleaner, less "pregnant" and a bit more practical. The taillights look just right. Too bad Robert Andrews didn't live to see this (wasn't he the one who did the original rendering of the wagon, "back in the day"?). He would have just loved it.

    Thanks for posting it.

    I'm glad that people have the talent to turn a dream into reality. Absolutely beautiful, can'wait to see it now that it's finished. Would love to see more pictures.

    As Alex says, very 'production' looking. To me, this is what Hudson should have introduced (together with a ute) in 1950 rather than the SWB Pacemaker. The wagon/ute would have been a profitable line

    Hudson spent a lot of money tooling up to sell a cheaper Hudson that cost them just as much to make as the LWB version.

    This car is stunning, and has anyone seen it since the Auburn National?

    This terrific '48 is owned by Bill Eggert of Denver, Colorado. (See Club Directory for contact info) Last time I talked with Bill the car was still being "tweaked" and had gone back to the shop for some adjustments. I know he's shown it at the Colorado Springs Concorso since Auburn, but I don't know if it's been out to a Hudson meet. B)
