Offered here is an exceptionally nice and very original 1924 Hudson Super Six Sedan with coachwork by Biddle and Smart. Purchased new by M.B. Cannon of London, Ohio from W.J. Meek (Dealer) also of London, Ohio on December 8th of 1923, the car was last registered in 1935 and in 1961 the car received its first and only repaint. The top is in excellent original shape with only one corner repair in the car's lifetime. The wheels are of a later style with a like new-set of 600-21 inch black-wall tires mounted on them. Original dual double side mounts with the original, earlier size tires flank each side. The original glass is beautiful and the windows operate as they should. The interior is also original with exception to the front seat bottom, recovered in 1961 and retains its original silk blinds, rear foot rest and blanket rail. The dash is in wonderful original condition with all its gauges appearing clear and crisp. All interior and exterior door handles and hardware are also in excellent original condition. The original body of the car is uncommon in an American production car in that it is all aluminum and was built by renowned Massachusetts coachbuilder Biddle & Smart, who built many Springfield Rolls-Royces in addition to other fine cars. The front windshield treatment employed by them is quite unique with its triangular corner windows. All four 'suicide' doors open and close nicely with proper fit. The underside of the car is also in very nice shape for the age. The metal and underlying wood are exceptional. Mechanically, the car starts and runs well with much recent work just prior to auction.
