PETE I THINK THE LATE KEN HOLMS OWNED A 33 HUDSON 8 CP ALSO0
-
Paul - OK, will take a look in the Roster & see. Zach sold it at an auction which he loved doing so have no idea where it ended up.0
-
Paul, will be scanning in a unique "Hash" item, you still into them?????0
-
YES PETE I STILL OWN THE LAST HUDSON EVER BUILT MY 57 IS THE LAST S/N I DIDN'T KNOW THAT WHEN I BOUGHT IT 45 YEARS AGO0
-
Pete-
That Woody resides in NY or NJ now. I studied that car quite a lot when it was at Dr. Doug's. I know the owner was offered a ton of cash for it and turned it down.
Really like that '38! Would like to see that one sometime.0 -
R. L. - Keith lived in Venice, had a service station. I believe he had a son who was into Hudsons so family may still have the '38; I never heard of it being offered for sale.0
-
I spoke to the current owner of the woodie (his name doesn't come to mind at the moment) perhaps four or five years ago and managed to get him in touch with Fred Nielsen, who had originally liberated the vehicle from a leaking shed and had it restored. The car then resided in Ohio. Thus the current owner was able to get the "lowdown" on the car from the guy who knew a good deal of its history. (I was fortunate to visit it when the boatbuilder in Hammonton, NJ was doing the woodwork it.)0
-
R. L. - here's a pic of the rear & will follow this with 2 pics of rear interior, perfectly original0
-
here's a better rendition of above pic; forgot to crop & enhance it earlier0
-
& here's the pics of the interior (have none of dash)0
-
it is/was a wonderful low mileage big beautiful rare sedan; somebody has it, but ???????0
-
OK Ken, thought this was of the '38 but may it was another car - Nancy had it in this big album of old photos by the '38 so guess I goofed, BUT nice interior of a '40 then, LOL0
-
Geez Ken, what a shame!!!!!!!!!!!0
-
Pete-
I believe you posted photos of the interior of the '38 (back seat) with the fold-down table on your website where you posted all of your pictures some time back. I remember you had shown me the interior before . . . I think it was on the thread, "Where are all the 38's then?", which I had started. I remember that pretty well and wanted to see what the outside looked like. This sedan you have pictured here must have been an exceptionally nice one with the dual sidemounts.0 -
Russ, regarding the woody formerly owned by Fred Nielson and recently in Dr. Doug's shop, I thought the owner lived in or near Cleveland.0
-
and the fate of this '36 H8 conv. for which, in '69, I went to Phoenix with the munificent sum of $800 cash in hand but turned it down as engine noisy & clutch suspect???? (LOL)0
-
then there was this '33 T8 sd. "beauty" (painted with a brush), pulled out of a junkyard in Maine (still have that lic. plate in garage) by my friend, mechanically prepped by him. He drove it to '67 National Meet in Huntington, Ind. where wife & I joined him and the 3 of us drove it all way to L.A. - had a broken skirt on piston so we kept speed under 45, making for a LONG hot journey!!!!!
Promptly sold it after getting home; old now deceased crony had a friend in Ind. dying for a '33 T8 - he flew to L.A. and drove it back to Valparaiso to never be heard of or seen since, or has it???0 -
John bought a case of oil in Maine, it was gone by time we got to L.A.
Only problem when had on entire 3500 mi. sojourn was when we overheated in some small town in Okla. (on Rte. 66). John, in addition to being a lawyer (then in Navy in Portsmouth, N.H., long story), was a good mechanic so went into hardware story, got some clothespins & alum. wire. Latter was wrapped around the gas line & clothes pins stuck on so as to divert air around the gasline = no problems even across Az. & Calif. deserts!0 -
Park-
That may be right. I might be remembering wrong.0 -
Oldhudsons- did that 33 have black wheels? There was another HET club member that had one with black wheels. I know it's not factory original, but I like the look of black wheels on these cars. I'll look in the old WTNs and see who owned that one.0
-
as I recall all the wire wheels from the factory were painted silver. I bought this T8 in '65 & have the photos John sent me when he found it in Maine "yard". He worked on it until '67 while at Portsmouth, N. H. Naval Base in the Judge Adjutant's Corp in preparation for the Transcontinental Run. I don't recall him doing anything to make it look more presentable so assume wheels were painted black by whoever did the "brush job" on it prior to me buying it.
Driving it all the way out here was really "gross" as old uph. stunk & 1/2 of the back seat filled with parts, luggage, etc. John & I took turns driving while my wife Nancy "rode shotgun" in the back seat the whole trip!!!!!!!!!!!0 -
Ken, I well remember the 40 CC8 you mentioned from Ponca City Ok. It belonged to Gene Salisbury and I had a couple of drives in that car. Drove it back to his place in Tonkawa after one of the meets. I had a 40 just like it in my younger days, {about 1953} VERY NICE car. I almost cried when I saw what that joker he sold it to, did to it. RD0
-
Pete, In the earlier "Continental Divide" T8 post you are talking about Roy Thatcher who was a chef in a Valpo hotel when I attended Valpo U in '68. My recollection is he owned the car several years afterward until he suffered a somewhat early demise but I can't recall the disposition of it if it was from his estate.
Roy had painted the wheels a very bright lime green last I saw the car.0 -
Pete, if that '36 ragtop had a rt sidemount, it's likely the one in Eldon Hostetler's collection now.0

I was building a hot rod in 1967 (putting a 283 Chev V8 in a '36 Chev pickup). Needed motor mounts fabbed, so went to Glen Bigler in Rochester, WA, who had a machine shop. Turns out he was a "Hudson guy"- I later saw his '29 sedan, which was very nice. But the order of the day at his shop was 2 '37 Terraplane coupes. Both were running, and in decent shape- he'd give me choice for $200. I was sold on it, but had to go home and pitch the idea to my dad. He had a low opinion of Terraplanes, so he nixed the idea immediately, and that, as they say, was that.
Bigler died a few years later, in his 50's, I think, when he fell out of his boat crossing a river while hunting, and drowned.0
