I like the naming theme for the colors
Yes, particularly artsy! It seems that they couldn't cite an artist for black though. I'll have to think about that.

I was going to say that I was sure this wasn't a factory color, but the Auto Color Library shows a somewhat similar brown in their chip charts -- Van Dyke Brown Poly.

I remarked recently about the absence of reveal moldings on another car. Could you imagine how this one would look if it lacked them? I wonder if we will ever see white interiors again? They sure were pretty! I love this particular blue.

Hey Hudsy, put it in the wrong area as our administrator created a new Not Mine area.
Oops, I'm going to need a map soon. I thought that not having a vinyl roof was an asset.

I love it! Also, I like a continental kit that isn't so long that it looks pretentious.

"Don't Cry For Me..."
Maybe a little oblique, but I like it. It got my gray matter to moving this AM.

Someone in Grand Rapids, MI is offering a choice looking red '75 Electra coupe for $15,000. White interior, no vinyl roof and 20,000 miles. Expensive, but nearly new and very attractive. Crummy photos, though.

There are some very nice looking brown colors out there. Both Chrysler and Cadillac have offered some beautiful browns. This brown really only approximates the color of something that belongs in a toilet. It's particularly awful. I like to think that it's the responsibility of some of us to share our cultured acquired tastes with others so that they may elevate their mundane and banal natures. lol

There really is a whole category of units known as "first call vehicles", or alternatively, "removal ambulance":

I'll let you guys speculate about the need for an easily cleaned stainless steel tray.

It would be different if this quirky design characteristic meant that they were particularly great handling cars, but that is most emphatically not the case.

By placing the coil spring on top of the upper A-frame they used up a lot of under hood space on Nashes, Ramblers and other AMC vehicles. You sure can see why they weren't naturals for V8 engine swaps.

I think a guy would just have to buy some vintage luggage to put up on the roof.

41 Cadillac for sale. I do not think it is a 41 seeing it would have been war time.

The siren under the hood and the possibility that those are red running lights, and not amber, make me think that this was probably a dual-purpose unit.

Appropriate for "first call service", which is the time when the deceased is picked up and then brought to the funeral home for preparation.

Three or four years ago I drew attention to one of these. It's not all that significant looking, but this '48 Olds 98 was the only GM car that year to share it's body with the new '48 Cadillac. The Cadillac was a milestone in that it introduced us all to tailfins. This poor Olds looks somewhat plain without tailfins and, while it's grille is similar to other post war Olds, it's cut down in height so much that it looks almost plain. For some reason Buick wouldn't get this body for another year --'49.

Do you guys think that a set of reveal moldings around the wheels is missing?

Not `36 Buick, maybe `37?
Google Images agrees with you. Here is a pic of a '37 dash and radio. I think that it looks right:

Here's a link to a Facebook listing offering a '37 Buick radio for a mere $80 in East Alton, IL.

Anyone care to comment on the colors? Original?
I feel so very sorry for this poor disrespected Hupp. It's just a crime to treat such a senior citizen this way. Do people like this think that their car is a joke? Is it something out of a Walt Disney movie? Hupps of this era are so stylistically superior to so many others!

At seventy-two I don't encounter new words as often as I once did, but "fettling" (from fettle) was new to me. It means to sort out, fix or put in tune. Actually, it's one we've all heard fairly often as in, "she's in fine fettle". I guess that I've always assumed that they were saying "fiddle". Hudson sales climbed to third place in '29. The highest position that they would ever reach.

My very first thought upon seeing this was Brewster.

1971 Plymouth Satellite station wagon 44,000 original miles - $16,500 (Tarzana)

I can't believe I'm saying this, but I think that the body lines are enhanced somewhat by the station wagon rear. This is a nice looking Mopar.
