11 hudsons for sale in conditions 4, 5, and 6 - make offer

George was a HET member but not a chapter member. Once upon a time a SoCal chapter member. I was told he never let anyone on the property to see his cars, not even club members. It seems I was the first one outside the family invited to see it all to help liquidate the cars and parts. All vehicles were left outside and each one covered with 10-12 tarps for decades which did more to deteriorate their condition than help. I was told the blue one was a doctors car in like new condition when it was parked. The seats still look good but the outside does not look so good. I bought one of the 4 pickups that were there and the paint job had baked and seperated from the metal setting decades under summer heat being under so many tarps. Much of the lacquer paint blew off towing it home. It too needs alot of work. Only one of the Hornet sedans has any rust cancer on the rocker panel. All the others have some surface rust and some parts that he removed. There were 25 cars and trucks and 15 of those were Hudsons. Four Hudsons have been sold before this post. 2 PU's, a 52 Hollywood, and 54 Hornet Coupe.

They don't look it but for the most part the bodies are in very good condition. No rust buckets or all banged up. But they will need a lot of tender loving care. They deserved to be saved. I wish I had more mula and space but lacking in both. That 47 stretched frame PU keeps tugging at me but no more room.

Have a good day

I was informed by the family all eleven Hudson cars and trucks are also available for a bulk sale for $6,000 if anyone is interested.

Oh man. a lot of work ahead for someone but some good stuff. I can't believe the '54 coupes go unsold, especially if they have titles and are <$1000 a piece. I would have grabbed the Hornet 7D coupe if I was looking 4 years ago, but mine is nearly finished and the thought of starting another is, well, overwhelming. The stainless on mine to repair and polish was over $3000.

if geography has any concern for you, they are in the West San Fernanado Valley of the L.A. metro area, I believe George lived in Canoga Park.

Thank goodness they're on the other side of the country.

Hi Lee,
With your update you mentioned that there are three 54' coupes (but from your original lost there are only two Car #1 & #9). Is one of them a Sedan?
