I was recently given the following cars if I want to tow them out. I know nothing about Hudson but like old cars. Can anyone give me any info on these? What year do they look like? Worth restoring?

  • The four-door and the coupe both could be '48-'50, judging solely from the bumpers and taillights. The car on the flatbed looks like a '40 or a '41. I'm certain that others will chime in.
  • The first two are 48 or 49s the other is a 46 or 47 possibly a 41 or 42. They are well worth saveing for parts if nothing else.

    the brougham (2 door sedan) is a 40
    the coupe and 4 door are either 48 or 49 supers (48 and 49 are nearly identical)

    The bottom line is, these are not especially rare cars within the Hudson universe, and you would invest far more in the restoration of any one of them than you'd realized in any profit. If the styling of the cars intrigues you and you are looking for a hobby project -- and if you intend to keep one for a number of years and have fun with it -- then that's a different story!



    But, as has been said above, they may very well have value to restorers for the parts that can be harvested from them. So if you decide to turn down the offer, please post the "contact information" of the seller here. for the benefit of someone else. If you would like, I can send you information on how to list these for sale, for free, in the Hudson club's magazine, which has a readership of 3,500.
