:)For several years I had heard of a '52 Hudson Hornet Convertible sitting in a contractors yard, but never seen. This past Saturday at our chapter's Christmas Party, I met the gentleman who is bringing the car back to life. He has come along way with it and looks to benearly done. It was great looking at the pictures of the car, it is an eye catcher. What surprises me is that here in Nevada the Hudson was not a real popular car and the ones and the ones that did sell, most people drove into the ground. The population has grown and so havs the Hudsons. To make a long story short, there are four '53 Hornet Convertibles, one '47 Convertible and two '52 Hornet convertibles in the state that I know of. I am sure that most have been brought in from other states. It isw always nice to see another Hudson on the road. Stay warm. Arnie in Nevada

It Was Owned By A Mr Gerald Bing Of Garderville, He Kept It At The Trona, Calif Airport And Flew His Plane Back And Forth To Both Job Sites And Drove The Car While Ikn The Trona Area. It Dissappeared For Years Until I Relocated It At The Bing Const Co In Gardnerville, Still Not For Sal.e Mr Bing Passed And His Son Is Giving It The Full Resto Most Work Being Done By Mr Frank Amato, Brother Of Famous Drag Racer, Joe Amato. I Have Supplied Him With Many Parts And Tech Inf For The Past Two Years, Car Has Been Redone In Its Original Cornish Cream And Should Be A Real Trophy Winner, Bill Albright

    Dio they belong to club members? I took over the stepdown convertible registry and there are only 3 convertibles, one 1952 and two 1953 listed in Nevada. See if you can get me information on them. Serial number and owner's name. Thanks

    One '52 Hornet Convertible is the one that Bill A. just mentioned, and two '53's are in private collections, one in Carson City and the other in Las Vegas. Arnie

    Aren't '53 Convertibles supposed to be super rare?

    '52's and '53 Hornets have about the same rarity. Last Roster listed 13 of each. I figure there's about 20 of each year left.:(
