Here's that Hudson again. Despite the fact that the top is not all that it should be, I LOVE this model. I re-cropped the photos and did a bit of re-touching.

It's a few years out of my (self-imposed) collecting guidelines, but I've got to be honest, I'd be okay adding this to my parking lot.  I've normally not added cars before 1940, but have made exceptions when I added the '39 Ford Coupe, the '37 Studebaker Dictator Coupe, and the '34 Chrysler Airflow.  So this '36 Hudson Eight Deluxe would be okay.  Great photos John, and hey, I sent you a private message here on the Forum, check it out.  Thanks!

A wonderful replica of this stylish Hudson. A fine image overview of this FM gem.

Have it. I display mine with the top down and no boot.

Passed on this one because of the top...looks like a nice image despite its flaw.

That Hudson is worth the price for me just for that unique grill. I just keep the top down and uncovered.
