Hudson Truck Info
Hello John, Here is some information from Ray Paszkiewicz about your posting. "This is a Minimarque 43, done for my company by Richard Briggs. My Company name is Lilliput Motor Car Co. You can see the address is Clarksburg, NJ, and my old area code phone number is on the tailgate. Two versions were done of this truck. Cream, as in the photo, and later White. Less than 100 pieces were made, and they sold out rather quickly. Richard did 2 or 3 specials for me during a 12 year period. Another was the 1946 Hudson Super Six Convertible in a special Gold color. This car was won by the person who drove their old car the furthest distance to Detroit for the 100th Anniversary of Detroit in the auto industry. Won by a gentleman from Lambertville, NJ, whose name escapes me at the moment. This was in 1946, and he drove a 1904 Oldsmobile curved dash. Nice to see the pickup again. Best regards, Ray Paszkiewicz"photo no longer available

Paul, Thanks for the info. I always love to get these little facts about my models.
I also have a gold convertible that I bought it at the same time.
