in Hudson 1916 - 1929

These are from a relative's estate. Looking for suggestions on how to address the sale of these two vehicles. Both are original. Both run and drive. Prefer they went to someone looking to restore.


Thanks in advance

    Thanks for the quick response.

    1929 super Six - Model R, VIN 869085, odometer shows 2524. Canvas roof, headliner poor shape and the wood frame is intact but poor shape. Was running and driving last summer. It appears the steering wheel controls are operable.

    The 1954 Jetliner has the Twin H Power engine, VIN D3295269, odometer shows 4939, runs and drives. I drove it around the yard when taking the photos.

    Photos and descrip as well as their location would be helpful if you are asking for pricing estimates or how best to sell. They could be listed here and in the WTN the Hudson magazine.

    We could really use some guidance as to the value of these vehicles. We are looking to sell both to finalize the estate of my brother in law. Also, how do we operate the 1929? I have no idea on starting and driving it. Thanks, Mike

    To start your '29, turn on the fuel tap, pull out the choke, retard the spark and set the throttle partly open. Turn on the ignition and push the starter pedal. Push the choke half in when the engine has wound over a few times, to give it some air, otherwise it will flood. Advance the ignition, and you are good to go. if you haven't driven a straight cut gearbox before it will take some practice to get it right. If it has been sitting for any length of time the clutch may be stuck, which is another issue altogether!

    Enjoy your drive!
