    What a great video.I think that he really does enjoy the car as he says.Drives nice,handles well,and is well proportioned.I think this is another reason why there was such a following for these cars after this great car company went out of business.It's cool how he points out the deck lid "Hornet"badge is such a solid piece!!

    I wish that was the problem...I have a Klipsch Pro Media 5.1 Surround Sound System on my PC...not cheap by any means!

    The Adobe Flash player hasn't worked on my system since it was forced down my throat by just about every major site adopting the control...I think it was a licensing freebie or something.

    I'm starting to think it doesn't like my firewall settings - but that's not going to change to use their cheesy player :eek:

    All other audio and video files play fine on my system...if anyone finds this video in a different format I'd love to get a link to it.

    Oh yes what a nice car 14,000 original miles to today standards that is just getting broke in. Iam not big on the color green but it sure looks nice on that hud. I love the year lots of chrome to go with the bling. Like jay said its the chrome that costs the most to get redone. Also have to agree about the cloth interior looks nice too

    Had to download the flash player but it worked good.



    What a great video and affirmation of the Hudson by a guy who knows cars inside out and can (and does) own any car he wants.

    Leno makes quite an endorsement for Hudsons from a guy that is REALLY into cars, and has experience with cars from this era when they were just used cars. I thought he was kinda tough on Olds 88's, which were great cars of the early 50's also.

    Ahhhh.... quit yer rallying for those Olds 88's....



    you know that when you were in high school, you could have been so much cooler, if you would have been driving around in a stepdown....

    I heard a great story Leno told about his "youth"- Like all of us, he thought his parents were hopelessly "square", but got along fine with them. He was always a car guy, and was building up a mid '50's Ford pickup in high school. He had the upholstry and paint done, and just couldn't wait to drive it to school, even though he didn't have the side and rear windows in yet. Weather looked great, what the heck! Naturally, in the afternoon comes a big shower, with high wind, and he's sitting in class, looking out the window at his truck, about to get its new interior soaked. As he's watching, up drives the family car, out jumps dad and mom, with a plastic sheet to put over the cab. Wind blowing everything around, they are getting soaked, but they are determined to get the plastic in place, and do. He said as his eyes welled up and he tried not to draw attention to himself, he pledged to cut the folks a little more slack in the future.

    I don't think Hudsons were high on the list of many high school students in the early sixties. And I did end up with my all time favorite (two of them!!)

    Li Found This Car After As 3 Year Search For Jay And Bought It From Jim Harmon In Oregon, Jaly Actually Got It Right Here At The Twin H Ranch And Drove It To Furbank Himself. Told Me The Aint Was Left Over From A Duesenburg Restoration So It Is A Duesenberg Green. Ilt Had A Mint Orig Checkerboard Interior But The Foam Was Hard So He Thre All The Material Away And Redid It All. He Loves Driving It And Drove It Almost Daily To The Studio After Finishing It, For A Couple Of Months, He Is Now About Finished With A 51 Sedan, Than I Suplied A Twin H Setup And A Rebuilt Dual Range Hydro, Upon My Advice, Bill Albright

    Can't see why my computer won't take this video. It takes all other videos. Maybe I should turn off the Norton anti Virus.

    Gotta be your browser security settings or your firewall - my system plays the video but the audio is not audible..

    I've got NH's problem also & I've just wiped my old Adobe Flash Player & reloaded the latest version. I can get other sites OK (& could see the recently posted Hudson YouTube clips) but not this ???

    Maybe it has something to do with the Coriolis Effect.
