Hope to get this moving to production, will let everyone know once I have a release date..
mike 51 Posted October 24, 2014 Posted October 24, 2014 I'm not too interested in the Plymouth (sorry) but I'm really looking forward to the new Hudsons..how are they coming along?
Dave Van Posted October 24, 2014 Posted October 24, 2014 I'm not too interested in the Plymouth (sorry) but I'm really looking forward to the new Hudsons..how are they coming along? I saw them at Toledo....worth the wait for sure.....
tim boyd Posted October 25, 2014 Posted October 25, 2014 I'm not too interested in the Plymouth (sorry) but I'm really looking forward to the new Hudsons..how are they coming along? Here's a photo I took at the NNL Nats a couple of weeks ago... . NNL Nats #35 Full Coverage Best Regards...TIM

mike 51 Posted October 25, 2014 Posted October 25, 2014 They look great....Thanks Tim and Gerry. I'm guessing they'll be for sale before too much longer?
Exotics_Builder Posted October 25, 2014 Posted October 25, 2014 They look great....Thanks Tim and Gerry. I'm guessing they'll be for sale before too much longer? They were marked Second Quarter 2015 at IHOBBY
mike 51 Posted October 25, 2014 Posted October 25, 2014 (edited) I noticed the photos make the Hudsons look like they have roofs of different lengths.....camera issues? Sorry I couldn't resist.. Edited October 25, 2014 by mike 51
unclescott58 Posted October 25, 2014 Posted October 25, 2014 I noticed the photos make the Hudsons look like they have roofs of different lengths.....camera issues? Sorry I couldn't resist.. Now that is funny. Scott
Art Anderson Posted October 25, 2014 Posted October 25, 2014 I noticed the photos make the Hudsons look like they have roofs of different lengths.....camera issues? Sorry I couldn't resist.. Yeah, it's amazing what a camera lens can do to the roof of a model car!
sigmaman Posted October 25, 2014 Posted October 25, 2014 It appears the foil on the c-pillar of the black one hasn't been trimmed right back. Makes the roof look a tad shorter.
rasafyff Posted October 26, 2014 Posted October 26, 2014 It appears the foil on the c-pillar of the black one hasn't been trimmed right back. Makes the roof look a tad shorter. The black car is a coupe and the blue car is a sedan.
mike 51 Posted October 26, 2014 Posted October 26, 2014 It appears the foil on the c-pillar of the black one hasn't been trimmed right back. Makes the roof look a tad shorter. I was just joking.....I know there are two different body styles coming..
Dave Metzner Posted October 28, 2014 Posted October 28, 2014 54 Hudsons - Black car is Hudson Hornet Club coupe - Hornet was top of the line in '54. Blue car is Hudson Hornet Special Club Sedan - Hornet Special is a step down from Hornet - less chrome than the Hornet - no wire wheels - Black car has more chrome trim than blue car - Blue car is long roof sedan - Black car is a coupe..
LVZ2881 Posted October 28, 2014 Posted October 28, 2014 Those last.pics, that blue Hudson, just convinced me I need to by my first Hudson kit.
Rob Hall Posted October 28, 2014 Posted October 28, 2014 I like the long rear quarter windows on the blue Hudson sedan...is that the same roofline the earlier Brougham model used? The step down Hudsons always look to me like they had chopped tops even when stock...
mnwildpunk Posted October 28, 2014 Posted October 28, 2014 Those last.pics, that blue Hudson, just convinced me I need to by my first Hudson kit. you will not be disappointed at all
Art Anderson Posted October 28, 2014 Posted October 28, 2014 I like the long rear quarter windows on the blue Hudson sedan...is that the same roofline the earlier Brougham model used? The step down Hudsons always look to me like the had chopped tops even when stock... It's the same roofline as the earlier Brougham 2dr, as well as being the same roof as used on Hornet 4dr sedans as well. Art
rasafyff Posted October 30, 2014 Posted October 30, 2014 I would like to see a photo of the sedan from this angle.The model doesn't look like it gets wider above the chrome strip.
Dave Van Posted October 30, 2014 Posted October 30, 2014 Hudson phots a plenty are in the links below. Almost every version Hudson made 1952-54 is covered well....... http://public.fotki.com/DaveVan51/2011-hudson-het-nats-okc/ http://public.fotki.com/DaveVan51/2012-hudson-essex-t/ http://public.fotki.com/DaveVan51/hudson-meet--french/
Art Anderson Posted October 30, 2014 Posted October 30, 2014 I would like to see a photo of the sedan from this angle.The model doesn't look like it gets wider above the chrome strip. The only pics of the '54 Hudson kits you've seen to this point have been test shots, not the final production kits. Art
IMPALASS89 Posted October 30, 2014 Posted October 30, 2014 not to crazy about green but I do like this color combo nice
Dave Van Posted October 31, 2014 Posted October 31, 2014 It's the same roofline as the earlier Brougham 2dr, as well as being the same roof as used on Hornet 4dr sedans as well. Art I have a buddy....he and his Dad are Hudson experts. Their 34 Terraplane pick up was featured at the Peterson museum as 'The Art of Pick-up' for most of 2013-14. He talks about how Hudson shared and moved parts around to make different models.....simply amazing!!! The way they made the most of their tooling is mind boggling. He has a 49 Hudson with 600,000 + miles....rebuilt motor, trans and rear.......but still rides and drives like a dream.
BubbaBrown Posted October 31, 2014 Posted October 31, 2014 I hope at least one of the new or reissued kits have a single carb intake. Please,Tia
