You can never go off topic on anything I post.

I have owned 37’s before. If car was close, I would look at it. Very nice body style in the convertible. A 57 Chevrolet two door hardtop will cost that much to buy into. The terraplane will be no where near the restoration costs of the 57.

I remember when they knocked down that concrete wall on TV. What is on the other side? Money? Guns? No, dirt and a few bottles.😄

Those are Hudson step down rear fenders behind the car. Length would indicate coupe, convertible or Hollywood hardtop 52-53. All models, just different trim. Trim on one looks like wasp.

Hard car to find if you are looking for one. https://m.facebook.com/marketplace/item/202479344009705/

Throw in a dash of industrial sabotage, as another reason for troubles for independents.

I was watching a video on vintage cars. And it showed a picture of cars being shipped on the nose. I have never seen that before. Was this a common method? We’re they shipped with out fluids?

Yes you could fabricate a lower rocker for a 46-47. Like the ones on 41’s there are also running board braces that mount to the frame supporting the bottom of the running board area. Very little changed for Hudson going back into the 30’s. Hudson just made slight changes and called it a new design. I am sure it is millions of dollars to change tooling and dies. Do not think Hudson could ever compete with other auto manufacturers in that department.

I like the no stretch or jump picture. Up until that point everyone climbing into a car fell flat on their face. Thank you Hudson, for solving this on going problem.

You could tell everyone that the damage on the door came from racing Balmudo.

Coupe roof stretched truck finished.

Sedan body stretched truck finished.

Green cab finished.

Not sure why it posted that twice.

The black truck is stretched with two door sedan doors. The truck that is being chopped is stretched with coupe doors, and the green truck cab, is also stretched with coupe doors. The chopped truck has a coupe roof welded on for the front half. And you will see the drip rail on the roof. Trucks did not come with drip rails. You will also see the two door sedan door. Is flat across the top. Where the coupe door has a curve shape to it. On the green cab you can see the shape of the door top does not fit the opening in the back.

same sedan pictured above, with truck back half of cab welded on. And truck lower rockers installed. Again stretched 7 inches with coupe doors. All you need is the back half of a truck cab, a sedan and a keg of beer. And let the fun begin.

1947 Hudson sedan cut in half. 1947 Hudson coupe door installed with flare removed. sedan running board area cut out to blend 47 truck rocker to sedan floor.

1947 Hudson truck cab cut in half and stretched. 1947 Hudson coupe door with lower flare removed. You can see the little spot on the bottom at the back of the door that needs to be filled in. Coupe door adds 7 inches more interior room.

The lower rocker area on a 41 is different from a 46-47. 41 rocker area is the same as the 46-47 trucks. 46-47 passenger car rocker area is really a covered running board. Covered by the flare on the door bottoms. Front fender are just a little different where they fit up to the flare on the cars, compared to the running boards on the trucks. To bad being knowledgeable about 46-47 Hudson’s doesn’t pay anything.😂🤔😒

That is correct. Remove the flare on the body and doors, then you have a 1941 Hudson. That is why you can take 46-47 sedan front doors. Remove the flare, fill in one little corner piece. And put them on a 46-47 Hudson truck.

That would be fun to drive the way it is. Yea, that’s my Skylark. Where’s yours? One of the best looking 50’s cars.

That is a reserve supply of Hudson clutch fluid.😄

I would guess not. Here is a 47 parts car that I had. It had overdrive, you can see a lot more levers and stuff on the side of the motor. Guessing 41 and 47 would still be the same setup.
