1952 Hudson Saved from the Crusher!

Hi! Cold War Motors just bought this sweet old Hudson Pacemaker to stop it from being turned into more Camrys. Its not exactly mint, but I just love the patina on this original paint car. Maybe we'll try to get it roadworthy and just drive it the way it is. It'll need the interior redone, and the engine is gone, but its fairly solid and complete. I hope you like it!

It looks quite restorable, glad you saved it :)

@IanTC12 Thanks. It is actually quite restorable, but there a few other I have to finish first...

Man, I love your taste in cars! well done for saving one of these awesome stepdowns! a pretty quick motor back in the day

[coldwarmotors]

@mrspivvy Thanks! I have a matching pair now. They are really good-looking units. Too bad mine are the 232 ci single-carb models, not the more desireable 308 ci twin-carb ones...still looks good parked in the yard, though.

Thankfully the steel of this beautiful car has not ended up as a washing machine.

Why are today's cars so unnatractive??

[bellarmine33]

Nice peaceful soundtrack. Hope you restore it too, almost looks like the Hudson in "Driving Miss Daisy"

its sad when real cars like that become rice burners

[zythepsarian]

@SittingMooseShaman hehe yeah

[SittingMooseShaman]

@zythepsarian ...good 'nuff as well...I'll say one thing about these cars tho'...they sure look like comics-become-real...like an R. Crumb comix from th' 60's...

[zythepsarian]

@SittingMooseShaman i say restore it 75% then flat black paint and lowered, thatd be a more than impressive enough lead sled

...nice Hudson Ratter...put a 500ci super-charged Caddy(w/a wetNOx inj) engine w/a 2-speed track automatic tranz, liberated straight-pipes undr rockers & air-lockers on the diff'ntl. Air-bag suspension x4, 3-pce brushed aluminium/brass, s/s bolts, solid wheels 18"x 8" front 22"x12" rear. Replace all chrome w/hammered copper & brass, smoked glass all around, hammered aluminum w/riveted brass bracing interior seating & wood/copper dash, black iron & leather st'r-wheel -she would be 1 hot Hudson...
