I have not been on here in a while, so forgive me if this has already been posted. Lot description says it is one of Bill A's old children by way of Germany and Hollywood.

    I think that someday, when (unfortunately) Bill A. is gone, his cars (one's that have a pedigree of being owned and restored by him) are going to command a premium in price.



    just a thought...

    OH yah hudson kid your right on that. As the old go on and leave us, the young need to step in and fill some pretty big shoes especially for these cars. Just like oldsmobile they are gone soon it be will be hard to get things for them also might be wrong on that.



    It will be a sad day when bill a is gone dont know him personally but i have seen his work not in person but on here through his works and pictures and what others have posted:o We all get to that age when we hang our hats and call it a day hopefully someone is there to pick up and keep moving it along. Guess bill a needs some neighbor kids over to learn to restore hudsons,boy what a treat!

    I think Bill A's grandson did a 52 or 53 hornet coupe, and from what I heard, he's pretty darned good. Perhaps this skillset is genetic? who knows...



    anyway, it would be nice to know that the twin h ranch stays in business long after Bill A.
