The new book, "Your Hometown Hudson Dealer" will be offered at the Oklahoma City National HET Meet. This book will feature 7000 Hudson dealer listings. Also, there are Hudson dealership stories and 20 pages of dealership photos. The price will be $29.95.
See Sheldon Rody to purchase your copy.

After I return from the National I will notify on the Forum when I have copies available for shipping through US Postal Service.

    The rear cover is the 1949 map of dealerships from the large sales brochure

    Standard Printing did an outstanding job of makeing the book look so good.

    Sheldon, I am looking forward to getting a copy of the book. The story goes that my Italia was sold by a company by the name of Pacific Sales in California. Looking forward to seeing if it is the book. Ed

    Great book to have on the shelf. Sheldon went overboard in trying to get it right. And the nice thing about it is if you find any errors he won't get mad if you tell him about the errors. He will get mad if you DON'T tell him, tho. He even has a page you can make corrections on and then send it to him.

    Well, maybe a little huffy. LOL

    I wanted to take the roster data and make a dot-map similar to that dealership map. I wanted a copy of both actually so I could do an overlay and you could see visually where the dealerships were vs. where the surviving Hudsons/owners are located now. Not only would it be a neat chart but also would give you an idea of the geographic center of the club / different regions and that would also be helpful in determining the boundaries of any new chapter HET might form.

    I couldn't find any simple programs online that simply let you stick dots on a map though. They're all overly complex "geographic information systems" programs.
