Thread: Once was badass

That's an awesome Hudson, thanks for sharing. It brought back memories from my childhood. When I was a very little boy Daddy had a Hudson of some kind. All I remember is the enormous back seat and my feet not reaching the floor.
Also brought back memories of one my Uncles (one of Mama's brothers) having a bunch of big ass cars in his back yard and also in Grandma's back yard.
I think he bought them cheap and fixed them to re-sell. Alot of old Mercury's (late 40's, early 50's) Seems like there was a Hudson in Grandma's yard and also a couple of old Checker Cabs. He also had a barge he was converting to a houseboat back there. He used an engine and transmission from one of the Checker Cabs to power the driveshaft and propeller on the barge.
Memory is a lil fuzzy, but I think it was a Continental engine.
Thanks for the memory jog.
