Something that was a Hudson at one time

Well this is a really nice custom but only partially a Hudson now.

Actually, I think the dash is from a '51 Ford!



And I think the seller is "one of us"....a fellow who restored the famous 1946 "Golden Hudson" after it burned in a fire many years ago.

I saw a '52 or '53 Hornet a number of years ago in N. CA that had a Buick 455 in it and it looked like it belonged there.  If only Hudson could have gotten their act together a big block V8 of some sort would have been cool.

Jon I think you are right about the dash I did not think it looked Desoto.

I think they missed the mark on the dash on the blue car.  It takes away from rest of ride.

The picture Jon posted is a Yellow 51 Ford. The custom car dash does look like the Desoto/MOPAR passenger side glove box. The driver side looks to be Ford but the Mopar for that era was very similar. I wonder if anyone has a picture of a Desoto or Dodge dash? My neighbor had a 56 Dodge and that sure looks the familiar..

I  Guess I should read all the posts before I join in?

50C8DAN Check these photos of Glen's car.  This is the one you are talking about.  Watched him do the dash work.  Desoto and Hudson mate:

The dash I'm sure took a lot of time but would have been sweet with paint.
