Hudsy Wudsy Posted May 30, 2022 Share Posted May 30, 2022 (edited) Here's a link to a Facebook listing offering a '48 or '49 Hudson parts car in Michigan. The seller urges you to act quickly as they don't want this car hanging around long. Never mind that it's been there so long that a tree has grown into the hole in the windshield and that rust has severed the rear bumper from it's original mounts. There's a sun visor and a spot light for any of you brave enough to wrestle the chickens for them: Marketplace - Hudson Part Out | Facebook Edited May 30, 2022 by Hudsy Wudsy (see edit history) 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xander Wildeisen Posted May 30, 2022 Share Posted May 30, 2022 I contacted them. 350 for the visor. Have dash pictures as well. Never heard back on what they wanted for the complete dash. Would have bought the visor as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xander Wildeisen Posted May 31, 2022 Share Posted May 31, 2022 Do you think I am scared Hudsy Wudsy? Do you think I am chicken? That is a sedan, in a coop. With parts that will fit on a coupe. Cock- a- doodle-doo. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Bonesteel Posted May 31, 2022 Share Posted May 31, 2022 Well Hudson--now merging with Tyson Foods--is a major chicken producer, maybe they would want to buy as yard art for their corporate office. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xander Wildeisen Posted May 31, 2022 Share Posted May 31, 2022 My last Hudson pickup came off of a hog farm in Harper Kansas. It looked like it. Do not have a picture of where it was sitting. The money they are asking for this Hudson is poultry. Maybe it will fly the coop, and scratch and peck it's way back on the road. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
plymouthcranbrook Posted May 31, 2022 Share Posted May 31, 2022 From the looks of the poor thing it has been in that yard since before Most were born. Another couple of years won't hurt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1912Staver Posted May 31, 2022 Share Posted May 31, 2022 $350.00 for the visor ? I would have thought that would nearly buy the whole car . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xander Wildeisen Posted May 31, 2022 Share Posted May 31, 2022 Value of single parts. the visor is the best thing on the car. Hate to see the dash get crushed. Hudson's best dash. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leif in Calif Posted June 1, 2022 Share Posted June 1, 2022 About 20 years ago, there as a '61 Porsche 356B in a side yard down the street from me. It too was totally over grown and we called it the "B in the bush". Eventually somebody payed $30K for it! I doubt that will happen to this poor Hudson.

Hudsy Wudsy Posted June 1, 2022 Author Share Posted June 1, 2022 You can add that under dash tissue dispenser to the list of long neglected treasures. Sadly, the front of it is likely just too pitted to be of much value. Next to it is the under dash mounted ashtray. I agree with Xander that it's a beautiful dash, but I've always thought that the stylists couldn't decide on an acceptable location for an ashtray, or couldn't bring themselves to marring the design, and ultimately just ended up slapping one on the bottom.

Xander Wildeisen Posted June 1, 2022 Share Posted June 1, 2022 1950 they slapped a ash tray on the dash? My 52 Wasp sedan had 6 ash trays in it. You do not want to get short of breath reaching for a ash tray. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xander Wildeisen Posted June 1, 2022 Share Posted June 1, 2022 Car also has turn signals. I would buy a few things off of it. Never heard back from them. Would buy the dash. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dosmo Posted June 2, 2022 Share Posted June 2, 2022 Love the layout of the dashboard in the hardtop/convertible pics. I sent an inquiry to the owner of the chicken coop Hudson, no answer as of yet. I think some of the bolt-on trim items would make good garage wall art. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xander Wildeisen Posted June 2, 2022 Share Posted June 2, 2022 I can not remember off hand, if my new 47 Hudson truck is an early, or late production?😉 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
