I am looking at a 1930-1933 Hudson car this car has been put in storage for about 15 years the car was running and was original. I know the car has suicide doors and wood wheels that is all i know for now. Just looking for a rough price thanks

    you're going to have to provide a LOT more info than that!

    What body style, is it a Hudson or an Essex? Precisely what year is it, etc., etc.?

    If you can obtain the serial number, post it here and we can tell you what year and make it is.



    It is difficult under the best of circumstances to offer an estimate of a car's value when it's that old and scarce. A bit easier if it were a popular model like a Model A Ford (of which hundreds are sold every year, setting a price pattern). With a '33 Hudson, for example (of which maybe 20 are known to exist), possibly none would be sold in a year. That doesn't lend itself to setting a price pattern. Plus (as Pete has said, above) we know practically nothing about it!



    Is it a coupe, brougham, 4-door? Does it now run? What is the overall 'look' of the car -- could you shine it up and put it in a car show? Or is it going to need body work, new paint, new upholstery, etc. to look even halfway decent?



    Where is the car located? Possibly a Hudson enthusiast would be willing to come over and take a look at it with you.

    Thanks for info i have to go and remove the plastic it was wraped in to get the serial # where would the serial # be?

    the easiest place to get that is from the serial # plate attached to the firewall.

    While under the hood seek to ascertain how original it is by looking to see if it still has a, or an original, vacuum tank & also the carb., which should be an updraft. These are parts that frequently have been replaced due to breakage, someone "updating" the car, or whatever. They are also hard to find/replace when restoring so having the original parts makes it more valuable & easier to restore.
