Or maybe just old age? Sometimes the metal outlasts the paint. Not usually the case up here in Canada but every once in awhile.
That might be the case some of the time, but what I see is simply paint missing on flat surfaces. I guess that I think it looks like poor surface preparation, but as I said before, I'm not all that qualified to say. I have to laugh, I've done so much body work and painting over the years, but it was always to the end of getting some junker ready to sell. I rarely got to see my work a year or so later. Lest that sound too cynical, I'll add that Minnesotans are pretty realistic about rust and I've never represented any of my cars as being from out of state or in better shape than they were. It's just that people like to see an old beater shine enough not to be an embarrassment to them. A lot of the cars that I used to "jockey" sold for a few hundred, not a few thousand.

A S, you may well be right. I'm probably not qualified to judge. I just assume that failed paint jobs are always the fault of poor preparation.

Once again, poor surface preparation yields heartbreaking results. This is far too nice a car to have a failed paint job. The price is $28,470 USD.

Even if you think cars of the twenties all look the same, there is much in a Hupp to savor. I think that they have perfect proportions, as handsome a grille/radiator shell as available anywhere and elegant Art Deco styling details in their interiors.

My friend had an identical coupe, but all black. It was so very much better looking! I find elaborate two-toning fussy and distracting.

A good percentage of '39 Hudsons are flawed because they stiil have pod headlights. 1939 Hudson model 112:

There's always a market for sedanettes (or correctly, sedanets).

Yeah, these are always kind of funny looking under the hood anyway. The engine is recessed so far into the firewall that they look like they are powered by Briggs and Straton. It might be hard to get at that little engine, but it sure would be worth the effort to clean it up.

What a crummy time of year to offer a car for sale in Bemidji! Believe me, folks, Bemidji doesn't look, or especially, feel anything like the photos of this Hudson now in February.

I've never found a sound track more irritating.

I've always admired this Chrysler company "Gunmetal Gray". If you look at the formula you'll see that it has a small amount of green in it. It can be quite elegant on some bodies:

I thought that these were the greatest idea when I first bought them, but when I got them home I realized that my garage floor is far too cracked for these to be of any value. I ran an ad and sold them right away.

Oval opera window! How sexy!

You've written '36 - '38 in your title, but '39 in your request. '36 isn't the same as '37, but '37 and '38 are interchangeable. "39 would also be the same if you were talking Plymouth, but you aren't. You're talking Dodge.

We had an identical (green) one. It was a nice enough car, but cars that rust that badly should never be sold in Minnesota. It just sort of disappeared over time.

Do any of you recall what years they offered the "variable venturi" carbs? They were dreadful.

There's damage on the right front door and fender. They aren't exactly emphasizing that, though. Better more accurate pictures would be nice.

Surprisingly cute rear bumper and spare tire treatment. I'd hate to have to find another rear bumper if the one was damaged.

That slightly longer quarter panel on the Pontiac sure classes it up.

Geez, I detest it when sellers name their cars.

Pretty car, whatever it's origins.

I don't know these well enough to speak authoritatively, but it appears to me that someone added numerous holes to a nice dash to install a non-stock ignition switch, a push button starter switch and a large oil pressure gauge. Maybe some of it is factory, but I don't know. The large pull knob to left and above the main gauge set is likely an overdrive, but I can't say for sure. Maybe they were still offering "Free Wheeling".

I'm glad it was the seller that called it a "cabaret" and not George Smolinski.
