    No Hudson building plants here, some came fully assembled, others had bodies built on them here in Australia.In the 30's most bodies built here were built by Ruskin and contained a lot of wood , unlike the US bodies which were all steel.

    Are any cars built down there now or are your cars imported from other contries ? And if you import cars from the USA do they have RHD? Thanks Ron

    G'Day Bill,



    Yes the car is still in good nick, funny thing though, the guy who owns it believes that the car came out new with the later motor in it.LOL.Can not convince him otherwise.

    There is only a couple of automobile makers here in Australia now, most are imported, and yes they all arrive here RHD, unless someone imports one personally.
