Great one to start with on craigs list. https://modesto.craigslist.org/cto/5644889946.html

Not sure where you live? Jeff Carter who owns JC Auto Restorations in Seattle WA just does Chrysler stuff. Good place to start 1-425-672-8324

I have been working on classic cars since I was 16. And have owned a custom car shop for about 13 years. And have walked a line between restored classic cars on one side, and street rods and customs on the other. And I can tell you for a fact that if you do a really good job. You will find yourself in the cross hairs. The AACA has a email that is sent out called the speedster. In one a few months ago a person was asking for people to speak at the fall meet. While I am not a public speaker, if my story was told your jaw would drop to the floor. Like so many things in this country, some aspects of this "hobby/industry" are pretty messed up. I am in it for the cars, some people are in it for different reasons.

The Terraplanes have a lower production. It is to bad that the back of the terraplane trucks do not match the front styling. The truck you are looking at is a mix of passenger car and truck. Front bumper, fender lights, fender trim, steering wheel, dash panels, hood trim,hood scripts are all from a passenger car. Super six or Commodore, The trucks only had one tail light that was recessed in the back panel. And no rear bumper. The grill emblem housing shows it to be a 1946. The trucks never had fender skirts, the passenger car rear fenders are different then the trucks. So some one has made the rear skirts. Do not know how tall you are, but you might want to sit in one and drive it before you buy. They are very uncomfortable to sit in and drive if you are around 6ft and 200 pounds. Trucks used the front doors from sedans so they are very short. Stretching the cab makes a big difference.

The trucks are pretty easy to find in the pacific north west. If I remember there was a Hudson plant in the Portland area, so Hudsons are in pretty good numbers around here. Placing a wanted ad on craigslist in ID,OR and WA will turn one up. Glen Johnson, Dick Riggs and other HET members will have have one right now. Dick Riggs in Portland will know what happened to all of Jim Harmons Hudsons. He had a few trucks as did Alan Boltler in WA. Charlie Nau in MT will most likely know of one as well. Let me know if you need help in finding one.

For some reason I am not able to put up any more pictures of Hudson trucks? Just the one, will try later.

You show pictures of Hudson trucks from 1937 to 1947 in your wanted ad. Not sure what you are really after? A Terraplane truck should cost less then a Hudson truck in my opinion. Terraplanes being the cheaper models in the Hudson line up. Hudson did not make a truck in 1937, one was only in the terraplane line. You could put a Hudson front end on one and get a longer look to the front, cut the cab in half and put on coupe doors and stretch the frame seven inches. You end up with more interior room, and it puts the proportions in balance from front to back. I will post some shots of trucks that I have done. Having trouble up loading pictures, so it might be in a few posts.

What is the deal? Did they have the same web company build the site that did the goverment health care site? I guess when it is fixed and working I will rejoin the club. Just thought listing the Auburn Boattail Speedster on the site would be a good spot to get it in front of club members. Guess that is not an option right now.

Hello, I have a question. Has any body had trouble with the ACD web site. I have been a club member for a few years and was never able to log into any of the forums and post anything on the site. I did not renew my membership this year as of yet. Every time I go to the site it down loads all broken up. And if I go to the web site to log in it will say it has my email, but will not let me in. And not let me change my password. Am I missing something on my end?

Please let me know if more info is needed.

Here are some more shots.

Hello, the body was built by John League? Not sure if I spelled the name right (sorry if wrong) Body was bought through a ACD club member. It was painted and on a finished car, then pulled and replaced with a real boat tail body as I understand the story. It is a very nice project, with very little to find. Body is very nice, Asking $75,000 as stated before. Open to part trades as well. Please let me know if you need any info or Pictures. Xander
