Do yourself a favor and pay very close attention to this very unique and rare truck. You just don't see these everyday...Even at the car shows, and even if you did see one, it's doubtful it would be this nice! Yes, the paint and body on this all metal Hudson is arrow strait, and smooth as can be. The interior is comfortable, has a nice seating position, and for a truck of this vintage, it's quite roomy.
Turn the key on this Hudson and the Old's engine lights right off and has a very nice subtle rumble to it. Pull the column mounted shifter into the drive position, and you are in for such a drive that you just might think you're in a new truck..,.Yes, it's that smooth of a ride!
The panel fitment, including the custom hood certainly rivals the way this truck looked rolling out of the factory. The doors open an shut with nearly no effort, and the truck travels down the road with no squeaks or rattles. Of course, this truck lives indoors when not is use, and has been obsessively taken care of.
This Hudson is absolutely one of the nicest driving classic trucks you will ever drive. It's so well constructed, and if you want to be the talk of the car shows...Just roll in, in this truck!
All of the gauges work and are easy to read, all of the lights work, the windows roll up and down easily, and that's a”Hudson” tissue dispenser below the passenger side dash, so you'll be prepared when you win the “Best of Show Trophies” with a tear in your eye:)
A rare and unusual truck, finished in a spectacular color combination with exceptional paint, a great stance, a clean, custom, comfortable interior, and an excellent sounding engine and drive-train that will reliably transport you anywhere you choose to go...Be the “King of the car show”!
