Thanks, John.  I like it when BRK posts pictures and information on one of my older favorites.  By following their process, I uncovered this inside the Diaries for Oct. 15.  Blame me for the poor photography.

   "The 1931 Hudson Greater 8 was produced in 1981, early in Brooklin’s history, with Murray-designed "boat-tail" body done in a beautiful combination of orange with ivory fenders, blacked-out grille and foot treads in black on the running boards. The windshield frame is plated, as are the covers for the fender spares. These covers were removed in the final years of production with a dark orange color. Other details include louvers just below the radiator, rivets on the hood, markings for a jump seat in the rear and a step on the right-rear fender. The first edition has a silver detailed dashboard. This model is a beautiful representation of the "Hollywood speedsters" of the 1930's, driven by Rudolph Valentino and Douglas Fairbanks Jr. The model was deleted in April 1993."
