My father has owned this Hudson since 1983, and always kept it garaged. It is registered and licensed. It runs smooth, without any excessive oil usage, but as was common to these vintage vehicles, it gets vapor lock and is often hesitant to start. It still has the original mechanical fuel pump and gas lines, which get heated easily by their close proximity to the engine and exhaust pipes. The vapor lock problem could probably be solved with a better fuel pump or, as some have done, using a 12 volt battery to spin the starter faster. Or by wrapping the fuel lines with insulation. Most of the bumper assemblies have new chrome, but some of the other chrome parts have pitting. Some rust on under-dash items. Hudson poster (see pictures) included. I would be glad to answer any questions about the vehicle. Payment: Deposit of US $500.00 within 24 hours of auction close. Full payment required within 7 days of auction close.
