I had a Sony casesett player back in the day,when I redid the interior I put in an am for static display,I have a cd player I was thinking about installing since I don't go to shows other than cruise ins anymore.Year one has a plate but its pricey for what it is.I looked at the coversions for the am last time I was at Carlise but they wanted big bucks.I know the blue oval and bow tie crowd can get stereos that fit in the stock dashes I think the company is USA 1,heck even my wife's 51 hornet they make a modern radio that even has the Hudson name on it and its not badly priced,ya think someone would have Chrysler applications as popular as the Chrysler cars have become.

Those are great lookin' cars. My brother in law has had many Hudsons over the years. For a long time my sister was driving a '53 as a daily driver. They also had a late '40s Hudson convert for a while. Sorry, I don't have any pictures.

those are beautiful guys. I'd love to have a '55 New Yorker or '56 Imperial like Dad had. But I could be persuaded into a Hornet.

I saw a 41 Hudson last weekend with FACTORY AIR! The air conditioning unit was the width of the trunk! I have pix, but haven't downloaded them yet.

My old 46....

I'd kill for a late 20's, early 30's era car

My dad has a '46 half ton. Red, with a 273-4 and a 904. Aspen front clip and a 8.75" out back. I bought it for him in 1988. Paid $400 for it, and it came with a COMPLETE '67 Barracuda parts car that had been totaled back in '69 or '70. Now you know where the 273 came from... Found it in the classified ads in Wichita, KS. The guy had it and the lil 'cuda stored in an aircraft hangar outside of town since '73. It was dusty, but complete and ROCK SOLID. Dragged everything home to him in the spring of '88 and he had the 273 in it and on the road that summer. He added the F-body front clip a couple of years later to get disks, power steering, and better driving characteristics. No pics. Sorry.
