Xander Wildeisen Posted October 1, 2018 Share Posted October 1, 2018 Some Hudson's came rolling through town, and went on a short tour out to the War Hawk Museum. I thought some of you might like the pictures of the planes and engines. Will take me a few posts to get all the pictures up. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Laughing Coyote Posted October 1, 2018 Share Posted October 1, 2018 Is the new car going to be a "chop and drop" or "stock"? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
capngrog Posted October 1, 2018 Share Posted October 1, 2018 Where is that museum? It looks like they have quite an impressive collection. Cheers, Grog Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xander Wildeisen Posted October 1, 2018 Author Share Posted October 1, 2018 The 34 Hudson will stay just the way it is. Has a cool look, all stock. Just going to get it running good, and drive it. Here is the museum. https://warhawkairmuseum.org/ 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ozstatman Posted October 1, 2018 Share Posted October 1, 2018 Xander, Great photos from a great museum. Wish I'd known about it when I bought my '41 Packard in 2007. Stayed in Boise and the car was in Middleton. Had time to kill and if I'd known that Nampa had that Museum I would have been there for sure. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rusty_OToole Posted October 1, 2018 Share Posted October 1, 2018 This makes me wonder, what Hudson did during WW2? Did they have a signature product like Studebaker's weasel or Ford's B24 or Willys' Jeep? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ozstatman Posted October 1, 2018 Share Posted October 1, 2018 (edited) Rusty, According to that font of all wisdom, Wikipedia: World War II[edit] Hudson Motor Car Co. factory in Detroit, circa 1930-1945 As ordered by the Federal government, Hudson ceased auto production from 1942 until 1945 in order to manufacture material during World War II, including aircraft parts and naval engines, and anti-aircraft guns. The Hudson "Invader" engine powered many of the landing craft used on the D-Day invasion of Normandy, June 6, 1944. During World War II Hudson had also an aircraft division which produced ailerons for one large eastern airplane builder.[16][17] The plant was capable of large scale production of wings and ailerons as well as other airplane parts. On May 22, 1941, Hudson was given a contract for the Oerlikon 20 mm cannon with the Jefferson Avenue Plant, on Jefferson Avenue and Connor Avenue, responsible to convert the original Swiss drawings to American production standards.[18] The company produced 33,201 Oerlikons for the United States Navy with the original mechanism continued in use without major change and with complete inter-changeability of parts until the end of the war.[18] Hudson also manufactured millions of other weaponry and vehicle parts for the war effort. Hudson ranked 83rd among United States corporations in the value of World War II military production contracts.[19] Edited October 1, 2018 by Ozstatman (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
