1953 Hudson Hornet

Description for Other Makes Hudson 1953

Car was my grandarents. it is a barn find. I'm 42 years old and I've never seen the car move. In 2004 he died and left the car to me. It was stored inside a barn for 20+ years. My grandmother signed the title over to me and grandpa was the second owner. It has been at my place under a carport since 2004. Unfortunetly I need to sell the car. Car doesn't run and I have not tried turning it over. That's the negative. Positive. the car is completely there besides one piece of chrome on the drivers side back glass. It doesn't have any rust anywhere that I have found. It has been kept dry. All windows roll up and down and the wings operate. Door locks. trunk latch. locking gas cap all in working order and have original keys. Car was equipt with 308 straight 6 and at some point someone. randpa or first owner. put on a 262 cyliner head. Some ole timers told me it was to bump up the compression. Currently has single carborator but grandpa has the intake with the dual carborator setup and air cleaners known as the twin H power. One of the air cleaners does has metal splitting see in pic. I have extra piece for front bumper (decoritive). Have the skirts and two sun visors. however I don't know if the sun visors were for that car or one of grandpas others. You can simply say that grandpa told me this car was over heating and he backed it into the barn and tinned it up and left it. I had to cut trees down to get the car out. pathway was grown over. Almost like the car was untouched by time with as good of shape as the car is in. The cardboard glove box is still usable and in good shape. Cowling vent operates. cigerette lighter is there. ashtrays ect.
