ksparks Posted August 20, 2004 Share Posted August 20, 2004 looks like it will be a great project for you. might want to identify what parts you need ( new harness etc etc ) to throw in the container before you ship over to Finland. Now being a teen/twenty era enthusiast what are those wood wheels in the background off of?thanks,keith Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ex98thdrill Posted August 21, 2004 Share Posted August 21, 2004 Bodywise the car looks pretty straight. How are the floorboards? It looks like with a little TLC you're going to have a nice car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mika Jaakkola Posted August 22, 2004 Author Share Posted August 22, 2004 OK, I found the car from Ebay... It has a small rust hole in trunk and small welded patch on drivers floor. The car is complete, except those small grilles on the sides of bigger one are missing, so is one taillight. Interior is VERY rough. I guess no one knows when it has been driven last. The fellow who sold this has owned it for 25-30 years, but he never drove it. He just picked it up somewhere to save it from the crusher.Does anyone here know anything about those 30's Hudsons??Thanks a lot,Mika Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Al Smeraldo Posted August 29, 2004 Share Posted August 29, 2004 My grandfather had a 2 door sedan just like the one shown. I remember one time when I was about 7 years old packing 16 people (mostly kids) into it for a short ride to the beach. Later he gave it to my dad who used it for a few years. It was still in the driveway a few months before I got my drivers liscense (1955) so I wanted it. I guess my mother didn't want me driving so she junked it. What I remember about it is that the clutch was bad. I wanted to fix it but was advised that it was a wet clutch and was difficult to repair. I was told that about many things in those days but when I tried to fix those things I didn't find them hard at all. I think that this was the first year for a column mounted gearshift on Hudsons. My dad previously had a 1938 "112" that had a floor mounted shift. The '39 was powered by a flathead "6". My great uncle was a Hudson dealer until 1949. Thats about all I can remember but try some questions they may jog some memories loose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jon37 Posted October 4, 2004 Share Posted October 4, 2004 If you are interested in obtaining the original curved-glass headlights and reflectors for this car, you can contact Ed Moore at Bellingham Auto Sales in Massachusetts. I believe he may have a used pair (unless he's sold them already). You'll find his website at http://users.rcn.com/ed-moore/bas/bas.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just sent an email to Massachusetts.He had also one '39 in the website with those sealedbeam things... ! I like those '37-'38 Chryslers !! Just to let you know, Ebay has been VERY GOOD parts source for my 1939 Dodge! You can almost get ANY part NOS/NORS/used on Ebay for these old MoPars!! And cheap! So I recommend that site!I wish to get my Hudson here SOON! ..OK, What's the first thing that you have to get when you buy a car ? ?
