    Everything's outrageously expensive these days, but those do look nice- and I guess I'd rather pay $500 for that set than $250 for that battery filler thingee further down the page- or $700 for the windshield washer (!!). Or better yet, buy a "potluck" box of WA1 carbs for 5 bucks at a swap meet- that's more my style.

    I'm with you, Mike. That's silly. I'll give him a buck-fifty right now, and that's about the max.

    That's why we stick together. We're proud to know somebody can finish his car because he could afford one of our parts...That's the real Hudson way to go... Michel

    I agree, I am old, I can remember when you could do a very nice restoration for ten grand. Lucky if that will cover the engine and paint today.

    First car I restored (frame-on) back in 1995-1996 cost me $900 for the car and I put about $5,000 into it sold it for $10,000. Today if I did that same restoration I'd be losing money. We have it the worst here on the east coast where we're expected to feel lucky if we get to buy a hulking rusted piece of scrap for under $3000. I'm really happy with my Hudson (5 days days into ownership) and it looks like the parts are relatively inexpensive (especially considering the rarity of the marque!)

    In the 80's there was the $2000 gauge--$2000 for engine/mechanical, $2000 for
    body and paint, $2000 for chrome and interior. It's escalated quickly

    I can't fathom doing doing a real restoration for 5,000.00 - even in 1995.

    Definitely escalated! I did all the work myself other than the paint. Started with a low-mile (57,000mi) car that was missing nothing at all and had all options, no rust, just a couple door dings. Can't even find those types anymore.....
