cold shot Posted October 15, 2008 Report Share Posted October 15, 2008 Hi folks, thought I would share one of my daughter Tanya's vehicles. It's a 1955 Hudson Hornet Hollyood w/continential kit. The assy plant invoice shows it's the 67th car off the assy line ...The car was my daughter's 15th B-Day gift from mom and I. We still need to restore the outside but college got in the way. Hope these pics lets you reminise from days gone by...Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AzRednek Posted October 16, 2008 Report Share Posted October 16, 2008 High School friend of mine had one about 66 or 67. He got it dirt cheap off of an elderly couple with low mileage. I remember it had allot of guts but being a typical teenager with a lead foot it took him about a year to destroy it. Best I recall he blew either the tranny or differential and couldn't find the parts he needed. He raced me against my 57 Ford convertible with a 292 and left me like I was sitting still. When I worked in the auto parts business in the late 60's and early 70's parts for Hudsons along with Crosleys and Ramblers were a nightmare to identify and locate. Couldn't imagine how difficult it might be today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
