Housing matches 1935 Plymouth, but dial is different. Canadian?

The F head engine was used in 27,28, and 29 Each were slightly different, with minor modifications. They made several versions of bodies, the " Standard sedan being Hudson built, with Custom builders offering different models I had a 1929 Standard sedan with factory option dual side mounts and wire wheels. Traveled many states in the 70's/80's 55-60 mph was the cruising speed Advertised to go 70mph all day, just don't plan an emergency stop from that speed. The one posted looks beyond saving , but the carb is sought after if the cover and body are ok , doubtful.

I got the impression it's a female trying to sell her husband's car, possibly a widow? Read the reply on the Hudson forum.

History of the 1948-1952 Hudson Commodore The new Hudsons were offered in Super Six and Super Eight forms, with the Sixes using a 121-hp, 262-cid flathead six-cylinder engine, and the Eights relying upon a 254-cid, 128-hp straight-eight motor. Not a Hornet competitor, but equal to the new six. I found the 8 to be smoother running. I had four Hornets, all good runners, certainly the choice for interstate travel unless you have an 8 with overdrive. I will add , you don't want an eight that needs a rebuild in these times. The 6 cyl Hornet runs at least $3500 , the eight double if you need all the machine work done. If you can find the rods and mains or someone to pour them. I did a bench build on my 47 8 cyl in the 80's for about $400, all parts were available from HET members that hoarded them . Not much left now, very pricey when you find them.

From google. Many articles on Hudson speed records. I had a 1947 Hudson eight convertible with overdrive I drove at freeway speeds with no problems. Had a 1937 Terraplane 6 I drove at 60 every where we went. No problems. Maybe todays oils are the difference? Their durability and performance was unmatched and accounted for 38 records in 1937, many of them high speed records and endurance runs. At Bonneville, a Hudson Deluxe Eight covered 2,104 miles in 24 hours at an average speed of 87.67-mph.Apr 15, 2019

I'll guess it's an aftermarket with a simulated Cadillac emblem.

My experience with Hudson's with that set up is, If the Overdrive doesn't work when the lights and accessories are on and the voltage in range, always boiled down to a bad battery. I believe you will find a higher amperage battery is specked for a car with overdrive, or 8 cyl. I've run into this on several of my own Hudson's, and a fleet of them I maintained for a collector. You can mount the later style generator and voltage regulator and rewire the regulator circuit to work. I believe the later regulator was used as a replacement from the factory, with a bulletin to show how to make it work. The brain is a little foggy on the details. I've had several cars with both systems, both worked well , with a heavy duty battery.

That round tag on the top with a rivet in it should have a number. Try steel wool.

It's one of the most reproduced tin signs. Hard to know for sure if it's original 20's sign. Likely , if it was buried with other items from the era.
