I just don't seem to have the time to contribute very many posts these days, but today's entry is one I've wanted to share since the model arrived the end of April. Since I am currently unable to spend much time outside due to the heat, I took a bit of time today for some photo taking. I've wanted one of these models for quite some time, not sure why I didn't add it when it was a current offering. I've tried several times to acquire the model unsuccessfully for one reason or another in the past couple of years. Finally, in April, I got it. My oversite has cost me a bit more than issue price to acquire it, but since it was coming from Buz at Route 66 Models, I knew it would be worth every penny. I've tried on several occasions to acquire this model; each has been a failure. This is kind of a Holy Grail for me, so I am very pleased.
Now this model is a beauty, one I've been fascinated with since I saw the 1:1 in 2014 at the Studebaker National Museum.

John, congrats on this holy grail acquisition. I was fortunate to grab one of these when they were first issued and I’ve never regretted it for a moment.

I had this one but unfortunately it was stolen. It is done in a beautiful color.

Congrats, John. If I remember correctly, there were not very many made.

That's the danger of street parking, Jack, a car like that should be garage kept!

A great addition ! It's a real beauty and in a dynamite color/trim combination.

Now you need this Hudson prototype to go with it (WMCE 38). Buz issued this in 2015.

No problem, John just loves tracking down Holy Grail models! 😏 😏

I have the Hudson wagon already. I got it a few years ago after seeing the 1:1 at the Gilmore Museum
