Exterior Chrome Horns, 1937-8

I noticed an Ebay auction for a pair of chromed horns, that ended yesterday (the horns went for $230). These were very similar if not an exact match, for the accessory horns used by Hudson in 1937 and perhaps 1938.



In case any of the (losing) bidders were searching for this type of horn, you have a 'second chance". There is an elderly fellow by the name of Nuxoll, in Washington State, who reproduces these horns (he makes and chromes the trumpets and other parts as well, to the Hudson specs, as well as those of other antique car manufacturers). He brings his wares to Hershey every year, but I just spoke to him on the phone and he thinks this will be his last year coming to Hershey (he's 89!).



The price of these reproductions is not cheap -- it's up in the vicinity of $350 a pair. But of course that is "new", with new chroming (which ain't cheap nowadays!). And it does NOT include the cost of the Hudson-only chromed bracket (which Bill Albright is now taking orders for). But still, those Ebay horns were the first ones I've seen for sale in years -- and they were used!--,so at least there is another source for them -- for the time being!
