Hudsy Wudsy Posted September 24, 2020 Share Posted September 24, 2020 There's a '40 Hudson currently on Bring A Trailer that looks to be a beauty. It also seems to have a story as it was last bought at a theft recovery auction.

Hudsy Wudsy Posted September 24, 2020 Author Share Posted September 24, 2020 Really well photographed, isn't it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hudsy Wudsy Posted September 24, 2020 Author Share Posted September 24, 2020 (edited) If your hydraulic brakes failed on a Hudson, the pedal would travel down to a point where it would activate the parking brake. Hence the somewhat complicated linkage pictured here: Edited September 24, 2020 by Hudsy Wudsy (see edit history) 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hudsy Wudsy Posted September 25, 2020 Author Share Posted September 25, 2020 This one has been calling my name, so I contacted the seller. I have to report, unfortunately, there's no overdrive in this beauty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff Perkins / Mn Posted September 26, 2020 Share Posted September 26, 2020 HW.....what would you suspect this car will hammer at? Maybe 15K? Tough market for those type of cars. I do not feel BAT is the right place to sell that car, speaking from experience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suppose it could reach fifteen if the right guy was interested. This time of year and being where it's located, it might not go much beyond eleven. I'm not the "right guy", myself. It's an eight, which I like, but no overdrive and being this time of year and being well into Montana, I guess I just don't see it for myself. If it were the more deluxe "Country Club" model, I know that I'd really have to pursue it. I will say, though, that I like the interior and I rarely ever like modern fabrics in vintage cars.The Counrty Clubs came on 126" wheelbases, while the one on the top of this page was 117". Here's a pic of a '40 Hudson Country Club interior. It's in awful shape, but if you look close, you can see some of the classy details: The Hudson it's from is also on Facebook. It's for sale in San Diego for $9,500. It won't sell for that price.: https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/245882323425276/ Edited September 26, 2020 by Hudsy Wudsy (see edit history) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
