That guy " has got some good stuff ".

[GARY F]

I really like that car, but at 74ys. old and not finished with my Grand Prix I think i am out. I hope someone buys & restores it. no street rod with ghetto wheels.

[MrEarl]

I plan on going over in the next couple of weeks. That 40 Buick Roadmaster w/o running gear would probably cruise along pretty well with a 455 and ST-400 tranny. That 53 Studebaker 2 door could get me in trouble with the wife and all my fitty fo's. That list of parts is pretty nice too. Anybody want to plan on meeting up for walk through.

[GARY F]

have you contacted the guy? I hope you bring the limited home just to save it. the craigslist ad says the price is less than on the list. it says 2250.00

[FLYER15015]

That Limited could get our moderator interested.

Please Mr. Earl go save her......................

Those pictures make me want to cry......

Mike in Colorado

PS Correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't think it is a Limited, no vent windows in the back.

Could it be a Roadmaster or a Century with the sidemounts ?

Experts need to jump in here, but she is still worth saving.........

Edited April 3, 2013 by FLYER15015 (see edit history)

[Guest BJM]

Mike

They had 2 Limiteds in 1940. This one was a Roadmaster (i.e. wheelbase) in 1939 and they called it a Limited in 1940, clearing the way for a new Roadmaster which shared wheelbase with the Super.

So, technically it's a Limited but you are correct, there was a 90 series, longer wheelbase 1940 Limited.

There is an even rougher one (1940 Limited 80) on continuous loop on ebay that was abandoned in an Indiana storage lot and is listed at $2000 or best offer. I had been in communication with that seller and he would take just about anything to send it to a new home.

MR. EARL, my newly single status means that I have absolutely no life balance or good sense. And, besides, everyone needs a truck now and then. Please advise if all or all of these Hudson pickups is worth driving across the continent to retrieve. Please avoid being practical.

[MrEarl]

Before you go trusting my judgement as to whether something is worth driving across the continent to retrieve,you may be interested in seeing some of the junk I have driven "half" way across the continent to retrieve

Still trust my judgement on those Hudsons? ...which by the way I don't know jack about.

But hey, if I can ever get over there, I'll check them out

[Guest Rob McDonald]

Your consistant impracticality is irresistible. The only differences between an old Buick and a Hudson truck are the number of inline cylinders (eight vs. six), the in-headness of the valves (over vs. under), and the truckness - or not - of the back of the vehicle. Otherwise, the same. Just please give these trucks a critical once-over, if you do go take a look, and tell me if I ought to contact the owner. Oh heck I may just call him anyway, just 'cause I'm curious. Maybe he's already got photos he can send me.
