1939 Hudson 2 door sedan for sale

Inspected the car today (4/2). It's a '39 112. Body very straight and no apparent rust-through. Seller has been under it and says no rust-through in floor panels. May be original paint, badly oxidized. Everything's there, including all trim pieces. Trunk floor looks OK; gas tank apparently replaced with brand X, and "patchwork" filler neck fabricated to reach the original fender opening. Dash is not too bad ... some deterioration in places. All instruments appear in good shape, including original clock (unusual for a 112!). Upholstery is old; fabric material, pattern and blue color indicate it's a reupholstery job. Door and window handles in decent condition. Original headliner, large portion missing. Engine compartment looks good; engine number shows it to be a '47 212.

Engine number obtained 4/5; shows it's a '47 212. I saw that rear mount distributor, but noted the firewall wan't bashed for it to fit, so I questioned my recollection that it didn't start 'til '40. Obviously the firewall notch in the 112s (done so the engine could move back a bit) is deep enough to accommodate the distributor OK.
