    Almost as rare as a 1953 4dr. Hornet coupe.

    You got me all excited about this '39 Hornet coupe [as I am a '39 man who's never heard of a '39 Hornet], only to find a garden variety '48. You got me!!!

    All kidding aside, I don't think that those rear fenders are quite ready to be scrapped. You should note, however, "rusty" to a Kentuckian is "not all that bad" to a Minnesotan.

    The listing is changed now. It's a '48 Hornett (thats Hornett with two "t"s) Still quite rare, though. Must be a prototype.

    I sent him a message that it was a '48 or '49 Super Six- guess he believed me on the year, but still wants to work that "Hornett" angle. Good marketing, if you ask me.

    Seems most neophites call any "Hudson" stepdown (or otherwise) a "Hudson Hornet". Just happened to me yesterday evening while in my 48 Commodore.

    it doesn't look bad rust wise. Hopefully someone picks it up. My wife would KILL me !

    That's a "must restore" - you know what it is??? Read Kerouac's On the Road - that's the '48 Hornet Dean and Sal drove into the ground running across the country and back. LOL

    If anybody is interested in it, I can check it out for you. I work in Louisville, and I think I know where it is at.

    I think we have the movie CARS to thank for that- I've had 4 year olds point to my '48 and say "Fabilus Hudson Hornet!":D

    I guess somebody told him that the hornets started in 51, cause that's how it's listed now.

    How would you feel if you bought A 51 Hornet coupe off E-bay to find out you really bought a 48 SS?

    :eek:I have been asked several times about my '49 Hudson "Hornet". When I try to explain that my car is a '49 Super 6, and the Hornet came out two years later, it falls on deaf ears. When I am out with my '37 Terraplane, it has been refered to as an old ford or cheviy. These automobile "experts" frighten me with thier vast knowlwdge. Have a great weekend. Arnie

    Took the 'Plane out the other day to wash it and drive it a bit. I was at a light and a guy was hanging out of the car next to me, saying "Nice Packard you have there!"...now I've never known a '37 to be remotely confused with a Packard, but at least it wasn't a Ford or Chevy this time! I just said "Thanks!", smiled and waved, and went on.
