jcuffe79 10 Posted September 27, 2019 Share Posted September 27, 2019 Helping a colleague clean up a yard and they have a 1918 Hudson Super Six chassis that is in rough shape. He is thinking that it will go to scrap. Is it worth saving? What would it be likely worth? Link to post Share on other sites
JFranklin 594 Posted September 27, 2019 Share Posted September 27, 2019 (edited) He should offer it to the hobby at a scrap price, win-win. Sell the LaSalle parts the same way! Edited September 27, 2019 by JFranklin (see edit history) 1 Link to post Share on other sites
jcuffe79 10 Posted September 28, 2019 Author Share Posted September 28, 2019 I absolutly agree. Challenge is it is part of a museum collection and they have to find a museum first for it, then if no takers it goes to auction. However, auction companies up here really don't like to touch this stuff as it doesn't get much money for them to make anything on. Any advice I can pass onto them would be great.

Jon37 95 Posted September 28, 2019 Share Posted September 28, 2019 Here is probably the most popular web forum for Hudson enthusiasts (there are several of them). https://forum.hetclub.org/ Perhaps you could list it here, and give some sort of contact information where someone could get in touch with you. Registration for the forum only requires an e-mail address and password, and it's run by the Hudson club, so there's no "funny stuff" going on. The car itself is beyond saving but the hulk would probably yield up several valuable parts. Perhaps including the radiator and hood. Perhaps you could mention the rough location or at least the state, in your posting there. I would be happy to list this for you, on that forum, but would need some sort of contact information from you, to insert in the posting. Thank you for taking the time to post this information at the AACA site. Link to post Share on other sites
Bud Tierney 131 Posted September 30, 2019 Share Posted September 30, 2019 As to you original questions, the answer would be insufficient data... While it would be a tragedy to scrap whats visible (front axle, springs, steering, etc) appeal and interest would be much greater if engine/trans there and in what condition (carb, ign, plugs in cyls, or block with head off/hole in block) stuff like that... None of this is meant to diminish the thanks all old car obsessive's owe you for taking the time and effort to post this here; too many wanted and needed pieces go to scrap simply because those searching for parts never heard about them. Presumably HET club members here will be asking where this is, in the hope a Club member may be close enough to make an in-depth appraisal of what's there and desirability as usable parts... Again, many thanks for posting this... Link to post Share on other sites
Peterwoyen 44 Posted February 22 Share Posted February 22 If the engine, trans and axles are in decent shape it sure would be a base for a neat speedster. I think that's a great way to repurpose what is otherwise scrap iron. Link to post Share on other sites
Rust Rustler 11 Posted February 23 Share Posted February 23 Is this car surviving??? Or has it found a new home?? Hopefully not scrapped and now residing in China Link to post Share on other sites
