ebay seller has a 39 Hudson listed sent him an email telling him this a 1940 Hudson Traveler. He tells me I am wrong its a late 1939. So after picking myself up off the floor after the good laugh I sent him a reply saying its a 1940 the 39 front end looks nothing like the 40. Says his title is 39 so thats what it is. Well, ok then.... So what do you think 39 or 40? I already know the answer.....

    If the front clip is original and it has IFS and center point steering, it ain't no '39...doesn't matter what the title says...:cool:

    I don't know where the car was originally titled but if it was produced at the onset of production of the 40 models, might it have been sold in late 39 an thereby titled as a 39? I know that some later models, NOT HUDSON, did this.

    SJ,you act like you own a 40 or something????<oh-you do.I guess anything is possible. I think that the description should read that the car is a 40,but titled as a 39??.This would make everything ok,wouldn't it.That way there is nothing misrepresented!!

    Is that big yellow thing next to the car what you would call a "swamp cooler"? :)

    Told him essentially the same thing -
    Actually, the first digit for a '39 would be a 9, followed by the model number:

    90 - Hudson 112

    91 - Pacemaker

    92 - Hudson 6

    93 - Country Club Six

    95 - Country Club Eight

    97 - Custom Country Club Eight

    98 - Business 6



    1940 used a 40 series:

    40T - Traveller Six

    40P - Deluxe Six

    40C - Business Cars

    41 - Super Six

    43 - Country Club Six

    44 - Hudson Eight

    45 - Deluxe Eight

    47 - Country Club Eight

    48P - Big Boy Six

    48C - Big Boy Business

    While it's possible a very early 1940 model was originally titled by a state as a '39, I doubt that happened. Somebody mis-registered it back in the day.
