Just happened to have a copy of the Buyer's Digest of New Car Facts for 1963 issued by Ford to prospective buyers. Overdrive was still optional for $108.40 on the Galaxie models. Prospects interested in this car should ask if it has overdrive too which would make this Ford a nice long-distance driver. My father had a 1960 Ford with overdrive that was controlled by one of the pull knobs on the dash.

As with any old car advertisement, whether Craigslist or other sources, caveat emptor is always the appropriate approach, regardless of age.

Only one way to know for sure: call the number and talk directly with the seller. If it is a scam, we'll note it as such to warn off others.

That's a good roof shell to use, the shapes are already familiar and associated with Hudson so your finished top will look as if it could be a factory prototype of the concept. Designing in the context of the period avoids the pitfall that besets so many custom projects i.e. a mish-mash of styles and design periods that obviously clash. A suggest you might consider: since the rear fenders from your donor car appear in good condition, open the wheel-wells to match the front fenders. When the car is painted, do those along with the car in the same color so they can be swapped out for a different, sportier look when the spirit moves.

1941-'42 was the transition to convertibles with roll-down quarter windows from the blind quarter tops. For Mopars, all 1941's except Plymouth that wouldn't until the new 1949 models. Ford, Mercury and Lincoln-Zephyr did for 1942 except the Continental cabriolet. GM across the board for 1942. Packard didn't until the new 1948 models. Studebaker wasn't producing convertibles during 1941-'42, which was a shame, would have the feature with their "First by far with a post-war car". Nash dropped cabriolets after the 1941 models, did build a run of 1000 for 1948 which didn't have quarter windows, same as the pre-war models. Willys had no convertibles in production since the early-1930's. Graham and Hupmobile were staggering to a close in the automobile business, convertibles the least of their concerns, The Cord 910/812 convertible phaeton had a similar quarter window set up to the Hudsons, functionally part of the folding top mechanism. While the Hudson work out might not be as elegant as others, its just one of the details that make their cars unique and interesting.

I had always assumed those quarter windows could be cranked down separate from the top mechanism. Hudson certainly took a different approach than other automakers of the day! The Ford windows appear a good fit, you'll have to create removable extensions for the beltline and trim to go with the removable hardtop.

What happened to the original quarter windows?

For reference, during the late 1940's/early 1950's Coachcraft and other Southern California custom car companies built hardtops to attach to customized convertibles. For some of those, sheet aluminum as the preferred material since the area was a hotbed of wartime aircraft production. Check the 'Automobile Tops' section for the companies whose business dealt in those: Coachbuilders, Coach Building, Coachbuilt Cars, Coachbuilding History, Encyclopedia, American Coach Builders & Coachwork, Carriages You should also check out the prototype 1946 Chrysler Town & Country hardtop that Chrysler built seven of but then failed to bring to production. Good luck with your project, I'll be following along with interest.

Yes, because all they did was planted a metal top on the coupe-roadster body! Then immediately forgot how to do it that way the next year...

Thanks to posting the information. Engines in that era didn't run high oil pressure at idle. And yes, this '34 Chevy is a time machine to transport one to an earlier era when a slower pace of life was the norm.

What should the oil pressure be at idle?

When it comes to Packards, being at least familiar with the differences between a 902 and a 904 would be a good start...

Ed: Indeed they are, but consider if the Dietrich stationary coupe had been constructed in the same manner as the other stationary coupes i.e. essentially as a hardtop coupe, it would not have detracted from the masterpiece of styling or engineering. The greenhouse light. airy and elegant. Further, imagine if the sport sedan had been built as a convertible sedan half-door lower body with the rear body section more close-coupled and a trim, thin-shelled top in place...
