Door handle guards

RonS · April 2011

Does anyone know where you originaly purchased( and had installed) the stainless gaurds that many stepdown Hudsons have between the handle and body. I see two differant styles, a ribbed style and a flater slightly rectangular style. Did the dealer sell them? Is there a Hudson part #? Thanks to Victor Z for the gas tank guard part illustration &part #.

They were a Hudson dealer installed option. The rectangular were 1948-50 and ribbed style 1951-54.

Thanks Dave. You've answered a question even before I could ask. I have a set of four on my 53 parts car. Ribbed style and very nice. Will put them on my 54. Michel.

Dave, My 53 had flat rectangular on it, But never the less, Where is that part listed and what were they actually titled? I may need to verify this for judging. Thanks.

I BOUGHT TWO SETS FROM EBAY A FEW YEARS AGO, THEY CAME IN ORGINAL BOXES. THE NAME ON THE BOX IS "STYLE-KING", NO. 106. IT SAYS IT FITS ALL HUDSONS, 1948--53, EXCEPT 53 JET.

There was / is a guy selling 40 plus NOS sets of these on e-bay just a couple weeks ago. The box said fit Hudson and Studebaker. Very nice stainless pieces.... I'll see if I can find the ad.

I bet he still has them available. I could have bought all of them for $10.00 each.....

They are listed in Hudson accessory folder as door handle guards. We have them on both our AACA Senior and Grand National First Place car. The only time I was questioned was when we had our 49 coupe entered for senior judging. I showed judge folder and he said OK and thank you. We received senior at banquet that night. If you need copy of accessory folder, send me SASE.

I didn't see a "Buy Now" button on the page, but sent the guy an e-mail. Hope he still has some left!

Did you ever hear back from him? Does he have any left?

RL Chilton · May 2011

Yes, I heard back and he is out. I still would like to find a pair just like the ones he had.
