I just discovered this over at the AACA Forum. Possibly it's already been mentioned at our forum here.

Apparently there is a huge junkyard of at least 800 cars from the teens through 1960's in Northeast Pennsylvania, and it includes over 75 Hudsons (including pickups). The place includes barns of parts, some of which are NOS. Everything is for sale but you may not remove the parts yourself. According to those who have visited, the owner if affable and has a "real world" feel for the true value of parts. Which means he's willing to negotiate but not to be insulted with a lowball offer. The owner's name is David Rapp, the yard is in Starlight, Pa., and the phone number is 570-798-0390.

    I'll take Paul's word for it, that this place has seen better days, but the writeup on the AACA board sure makes it sound like paradise! Paul, were you in the buildings as well, and found nothing of Hudson value there?

    About 5 years ago, I bought the last convertible header that he had . . . he even cut it off of the cowl, which was mostly gone. I still have it.
