  5. This may have been posted already but didn't find it, so: a 1920 Cunningham roadster.
  6. Note, of course, the central body structure is that of the 1956-'62 Rambler Six/Rebel/Classic shell with Hudson-unique front clip, wheelbase extension and rear quarters. American Motors was still in precarious financial condition during 1956-'57 when these potential Nash and Hudson 'full-sized' 1958 models were in development. It was a 'gutsy' decision on Romney's part to jettison both long-established makes, to, as he said, "sink or swim with Rambler". Since they could only afford to continue with one body series, while Rambler consistently showed the most promise and both Nash and Hudson were fading away, there was only one route to go. It helped that the industry was reeling from the sudden acceptance of small, import cars, the Big Three fielded their largest, most outlandish and a recession occurred at the 'right time". While the 1958 Ambassador fooled few that it wasn't much more than a stretched, dolled-up Rambler, it provided an important option for loyal Nash and Hudson to stay with American Motors since it could be still considered a 'full-sized' car.
  7. Also look carefully at the rear wheelhouses and along the lower quarter trim, there is rust bubbling. If the basic structure and subframe are still solid, the rust largely exterior steel metal, this Eldorado is worthy of restoration. Removing the vinyl top would be an improvement, let the elegant surface development of the top quarters show.
  8. Bringing these gentlemen and their impressive touring out of the 'fade fog'.

  21. Simply conjecture, but this may have been the chief engineer on this bridge project. Given they arrived in a Daniels V8 touring which was a $5,350 car in the early 1920's, it seems a safe guess.
  22. Actually, the arced 'torsion-bar' driveshaft was massively overengineered for reliable, trouble-free operation which it performed in real-world operation. The less robust components were in the transaxle particularly the V8 Lemans. These Tempest/Lemans cars are some of the most interesting '60's GM products.
  23. In defense of the beleaguered 1956-'57 Hudson styling, this diatribe bears repeating: The freelance industrial designer Richard Arbib was contracted to create the restyles for the 1956-'57 Hudsons on the existing body shell with no major sheet metal stampings changes. The mandate limited changes to front grille, side trim patterns, taillights and details. The body series dates back to the 1952 Nash Statesman and Ambassador which became the basis for the 1955-'57 Hudsons with the Nash and Hudson merger to form American Motors. The 1955 Hudson styling was created inhouse by applying features such as the eggcrate grille and taillights from the initially planned continuation of the Step-Down 1955 Hudsons which were in progress before the merger. Personally, of all the styling carried by that 1952-'57 Nash/Hudson body series, the 1955 Hudsons are the cleanest, most elegantly detailed and appealing of the group. My taste notwithstanding, AMC President George Romney felt the next Hudson restyle needed more distinction from the Nash with which it clearly shared its body shell/chassis platform. Richard Arbib, who had been designer for Henney Motor Co. the Packard hearse/ambulance coachbuilder, opened his own design consultancy in NYC, taking on contracts for a variety of consumer products. His Benrus wrist watches are some of the finest examples of Mid-Century Modern design. To have an insight into his thinking about automotive styling, Tidewater Oil Company under the Tydol, Flying A and Veedol brands featured a series of his "dream cars" in their 'Veedol "Dream Car" Salon' advertising series. Typically, a vertical half-page advertisement, a different dream car designed by Richard Arbib was shown at the top. Nothing illustrates it better than his "V-Liner Custom Sedan" and "Interplane Sedan." How could the 1956-'57 Hudsons have turned out any differently... Steve
