Chuck Most Posted January 8, 2017 Share Posted January 8, 2017 '54 Hudson Hornet Club Coupe converted into a four-wheel-drive pickup and powered with a Ford small block. The idea was an abandoned old aftermarket conversion or forgotten factory prototype given a new lease on life. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chillyb1 Posted January 8, 2017 Share Posted January 8, 2017 A very cool idea, Chuck. I love stuff like this and your build makes me want to get the kit and do something similar. My favorite aspects of your build: the tires and wheels, and the way we perceive weight distribution. Nice work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually the stance is pure accident- I just left the "tail-down" stance to give the impression of rear leaves that had been overtaxed one time too many.

espo Posted January 8, 2017 Share Posted January 8, 2017 Great looking build. I like the truck conversion idea. were you thinking of this? I think I have seen this car in one of the old car magazines. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luc Janssens Posted January 8, 2017 Share Posted January 8, 2017 The idea isn't that far fetched, I remember when working at Opel's ITDC in Rüsselsheim in Gemany, seeing a Elky style pickup, based on the then current Opel Omega (Cadillac Catera), it was converted from a wagon....

ranma Posted January 8, 2017 Share Posted January 8, 2017 Great looking build. I like the truck conversion idea.I think I have seen this car in one of the old car magazines. It was a Prototype pickup so probably less then 4 were ever made by the company. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
