I finally added this one a few months ago, not sure what took me so long to do so. 1st thing I did was to switch the tires, those ridiculous skinny whitewalls.

Unfortunately I didn't take any photos of prior to the switch, so here's one I borrowed from the web

s l500

and what is looks like now in my collection.

Here's mine as NEO made it

By the way this is the worst NEO I've owned in terms of pieces of "chrome" trim strips becoming unglued. I love it anyway!

John, Your tire switch has made a tremendous improvement.

Thanks for the fine photography, John.   I like your Hudson.  I just read an article on the 1955-1957 Hudsons, and I read carefully the differences between the '56 and '57:  very few.   However, the flattened roof on the '57 IMO was a styling advancement.   I have a Brooklin '55 that I hope to post later today.   Again, thanks for the good post.

When I took photos of this one, I took some of Brooklin’s 55 with it. I will post them this evening.

I posted mine under a different heading, stressing that it is a John Roberts code version.  Here's a quick shot:
