'49 Coupe Rod

50C8DAN · February 2021

I happened to see and pickup a copy of Ol'Skool Rodz today in our pharmacy. I could not resist as it featured a 49 H Coupe on the cover!! I got home and the photos were OK, but they had none of under the hood, interior etc. I thought what the hey here, you talk about all this stuff and then no pics. So I just went to the builder's website and there are some great shots. So save your self $8 and just go here (however the mag is kind of neat being more old school approach).

Only thing I don’t care for is the big screen in the middle of the dash, otherwise it’s pretty amazing.

Agreed. They could have put a draw type screen if they wanted this feature. I think that approach works really well for GPS and A/V systems in older vehicles.

Yeah those work well & can be hidden away if not desired to be seen.

I think it looks worse than a stock Hudson. Don't see any styling " Improvements".
Most customs don't really improve the factory designs unless they modify the roof lines.
