I’ve known the car and the owner very well for over 40 years. If I remember correctly all the wood is done , including top bows

It's probably a great project. But I expect at $10,000.00 asking it is going to be a very tough sell. Very poor  description, from the photo's alone I can't even tell the body style.

I was there when he was stuffing these cars into buildings because the city of Portland hit him with 72 tow tags on his cars. A neighbor in the back corner of his property, could see his cars. A lot of Hudson’s got scrapped. My old convertible was one of the cars stashed away.

Dug out some pictures of when we were at Richard Riggs place. He is the one selling this 1917 Hudson. We went there to cut the roof off of a 37 Terraplane coupe. Car was going to be scrapped with others. As stated above the City of Portland was on his case about the cars. So he was stuffing the ones he was going to keep in building. This 1917 car was the one he was placing in the building when we were there. The roof of the 37 was used for section pieces on my fathers 37 utility coupe. The 37 being scrapped was in really bad shape, any usable parts were pulled from the car.

He all ready had cars in other buildings, I ended up buying this 37 from him. The 39 still had writing on it from when he drove it in high school.

There was a 38-39 Hudson panel wagon in one building, that one is still around. He had about 4-5 Hudson trucks, 5-6 Hornet club coups, hardtops and convertibles.

I have known Richard for around 35 years. Both him and Jim Harmon were some of the first people I met when I got into Hudson’s. Very knowledgeable on Hudson’s and a great guy to deal with if interested in the 1917 Hudson.
