Worst Hudson Classified Ad Ever?

There is so much that is wrong with this ad:

-- first off, he calls it a Studebaker
-- secondly, he wants $1,850 for it
-- thirdly, the condition of the car--Damn!

    I recognize that car. that's the car that was driven only on Sundays by a little old lady - at the local race track.

    Man, you couldn't even make a good rat rod out of that wreck. Not many parts left either.

    Apologies in advance, but it looks to me like this moss covered Hudson would be a great acquisition for someone whose handle is "Swampy Meadows" :whistle:

    Good thing he will only take serious inquiries or I'd call just to torque him up.

    And that, boys and girls, is why they call the Pacific Northwest the "garden spot" of the country- you can grow vegetation virtually anywhere! My office window overlooks Safeway- the area between the sidewalk and the curb is asphalted, and is growing a very attractive crop of moss. Its like a little lawn, that they don't have to mow!

    That truck in the ad is just as ridiculous- they'd be lucky to get that price for that old Dodge if it were running!

  • Sam's right . The guy must be going green. Smokin some green too.
  • Hey...Hey now!! A gallon can of Rust-Bullet and $75,000 is all she needs to be right. After all, its all original.

    Here is one you can use for spares, it came for $200.00.

    Amazingly the oil in the sump is still nice and clean.When they eventually found the motor.

    You never know, maybe the interior is cherry. :lol: Or maybe included in the price you are buying futures on the Raccoon dung market. Hey, it could happen!

    I saved a copy of one of the photos for future reference. Whenever I get frustrated with my own Hudson, I can look at and know that no matter how bad things may be, they aren't THAT bad...:pinch:

    Even this guy didn't want it...:woohoo:

  • Best part of the ad was "almost complete, but little bit wreck, good for parts, or "rebuilt"." The blind eye of the beholder comes to mind. Might be worth 18.50, maybe he wanted 1850 penny's? :dry:

    That poor old Hudson must be facing NORTH,

    "Moss always grows on the north side of the trees" is an old folk saying.

    When I see these cars I think about, once it was at the Hudson dealership
    all shiny and new, and the customer and dealer shook hands on the deal.

    Someone went to work in that car, drove babies home from the hospital
    went on vacations and fishing trips and enjoyed that HUDSON!
