"User-friendly and pleasant condition"

Description

Imported from Pennsylvania in 2019. The car's previous history is unknown, but it has been partially renovated at some point. The majority of the car's original components have been preserved. Considering that it was an older restoration, it has remained in good condition, the car passed the car inspection this spring with flying colours. It is outfitted with, among other things, an original radio (which costs $ 100 more new!) Hudson Weather control ventilation, 308 "straight-six" engine with dual-range Hydramatic automatic box and 6 volt DC power system

Condition

  • Mechanical condition:

    The side-valve engine is soft and quiet in the aisle. The box - Dual range Hydramatic that Hudson bought from GM - shifts softly and silently. 6 volt direct current original system has been retained. Some of the cables have been replaced with more modern ones instead of the original fabric spun. On the whole, untouched in its entirety. A newer ignition coil is fitted and there is a kind of 'start assist button' retrofitted in the engine compartment which apparently should go to an electric petrol pump somewhere. New tires on the car.

  • Interior condition:

    On the interior is mostly in original condition are preserved with just the right patina. The seats are upholstered but not completely correct but with time-typical patterned upholstery. Door cards, headliner, instruments, controls and more have the car's original details. The door cards may need a renovation to be as nice as the rest. The headliner is complete but with a few age spots. Carpet can be original or replaced with original-like at some point.
    It has an ingenious system for angling the sun visors in different ways. Between them, there is a knob - where you turn up the antenna, which in idle position lies along the centre pillar of the windshield.

  • Exterior condition:

    Straight and nice car repainted once upon a time in Meadow green iridescent metallic which also seems to have been the original colour. Chrome and trims are in very good condition. Lower trim along the threshold are, however, a bit bumpy but do not corrode and do not significantly disturb the overall impression. A little rust is on the back of the trim in the area around the number plate, probably the result of careless chrome-plating a while back. The paint differs slightly in shade on doors and tailgate. Some blisters have appeared in one corner of the hood otherwise the paint is smooth and fine. There is some rust on the floor due to carpets and insulation having absorbed moisture. But it is superficial rust so there are no holes. The luggage compartment is nice with spare wheels and the original jack in place. The carpet is not original. There is a cable hanging there that leads to a retrofitted brake light.
    Looks whole and nice underneath. As the car has been renovated probably quite a long time ago, it is difficult to see what has or hasn’t been fixed, but the chassis and suspension provide a comfortable ride.

  • General condition:

    In a suitable condition where the original feeling largely remains. Cosy inside and mechanically very good.
