This is the third time he's posted this video. He was told of the multiple errors by several people on the previous uploads and hasn't changed a thing. Obviously as long as he's getting views he doesn't care.
Every time a manufacturer either goes out of business or is discontinued the world becomes just a little less magical and more average and plain. Thanks for making these videos Steve.
@@UmmYeahOk I actually have an 04 Honda Element which Honda doesn’t manufacture anymore. You either like it or hate them. The only thing that resembles it a lot is the new Range Rover Defender.
@@HotRod-wv4vm that’s still different than most of what you see on the road though, even if it’s part of the evolution to monotony. I’d pick that over what everyone else drives these days.
Liked this so much the first time around I shared it on several model making and car websites I'm a member of, hope it helped bump up the viewing figures.
The Hudsons are cool cars! Probably one of the first examples of the 'longer, lower, wider' styling trend that swept Detroit for the next few decades. No need to chop the top on a '49-'51 Mercury, just buy a Hudson, they came pre-chopped! I'll also re-upload my 'Spinal Tap' reference. If you look at the speedometer, you can tell Hudsons are great, because they go all the way up to 11 ! 😁
Hey, morning, I came back here to read comments, not so many this morning. I don't know why I haven't mentioned this before, there's an old building several miles from my place that was a Hudson dealership. When we moved here, about 23 years ago, the sign was still hanging above the door. Maybe I should see if there's a street view on Google maps so a feller can look at what I'm talking about.
@@tomwesley7884 I had to go look up what a Hudson dealership sign looked like, it's been so long since I've even seen a picture of one. Great looking sign! The old re-purposed dealership buildings are quite interesting. Somewhere in my travels I saw an old Studebaker dealership, built in the 1920's. It had the Studebaker 'wheel' logo in bas-relief in the upper facade of the building. It must have been 3' x 3'. The building was now a thrift store.
@@burthenry7740 The one I mentioned is present day 13436 Calumet Ave., Cedar Lake, IN. Dealership can be searched "Hudson Dealership Brunswick Indiana". Brunswick is like the land time forgot.
Terrific redux selection today. Amazing amount of stainless steel trim still holding up to 7 decades of exposure. You and Shane are courageous opening doors and glove compartments--- has any creature ever jump out at you?
In the mid 70s I was in college and had the opportunity to buy a 53' twin H Hornet. I passed because the $800. Asking price was beyond my means 😆😆. In my defence I was looking for a driver and bought a 61 Falcon needing rear wheel cylinders for $75. I drove that car for three years after fixing the brakes.
Here's what I said the first time: When there's "sharing" like that, you know the end is near (especially back then). Today there is collaboration between competitors. Back then, not so much. First one looks like code S-164 Pasture Green and aptly named as it's returning to "pasture". Second one is hard to tell what color it was because the paint is so faded, but maybe code N-166 Coronation Cream exterior paint as a complete guess. Hudsons were assembled in Detroit, MI until about 1954, and then production was moved to Kenosha, WI. Hudson merged with Nash-Kelvinator on May 1, 1954. Kelvinator is known for making appliances, and what's "left" of Kelvinator today would be part of Electroux, who owns Frigidaire.
Going back to watch the old ones. Just wanted to write - I miss your commentary, like I miss Mr Magnante’s videos. I know we’re both pulling and praying for him, just wanted to say “hi”. ~ Chuck
@@charlesdalton985Same to you. Hopefully Mr. Magnante can return to doing what he does in the near future. I think it's a long road ahead, but it's worth the wait.
Looks like they have been there a while! I often wonder why a car would be abandoned in the woods and forgotten. Surely, it had some value when it was parked...why leave it rather than sell it? Especially the twin H. Kinda sad
They were Hash after 1954 .Smokey Yunick ,a famous Hudson Nascar Mechanic was digusted with the shortcomings of the Nash Body and chassis for 1955 and went elsewhere .
Love all the UA-cam channel stuff that you have everything's great I just wish you would spend more time and and detail on where some of these cars might be so some can be saved.
Better than a corroded out aluminum Head is a Cast Iron262 Wasp head on a 308 Hornet to raise the compression. Hudson's Frome passed outside of the rear Wheels
@@DanEBoyd You're right ! The '49-'51 or so Nashes were also called 'bathtubs'. The bathtub Packards were also called pregnant elephants. No shortage of styling critics back then, either! 🤔😁
The Poor Old Hudson Is An ABSOLUTE Sorry Rotting Away MESS. I Was HOPING To See Something Somewhat Better, Instead Of A Totally Neglected HUNK OF JUNK Sitting In The Woods, That Is BEYOND Restoration And A Home For Wild Critters. How SAD And Depressing. PLEASE Start Doing Your Informative Reports On At least BETTER Restorable And Roadworthy, Loved And Cared For Vehicles. It's Like Interviewing An Old Skid Row BUM, And Showing How He Could Have Been A Well Off Family Man In His Younger Years. If Someone Would Have Cared For Him, And NOT BEAT The Crap Out Of Him And Left Him In The Woods To DIE... Perhaps Doing Reports At An Auto Resterstion Shop Where Salvageable Cars Are In The Process Of Being Restored. Or On The Cars Waiting Outside To Be Brought Back To A Runnable Condition, Without A Bunch Of Leaves And Debris Piled Inside And Around Them. Just A Well Needed Suggestion To IMPROVE Your Reports. Steve...
Absolutely 💯 love these roadside crawls
More Hudsons , please 🙏
I've always liked old Hudsons. I would love to get my hands on one

Boy those where definitely some beautiful cars! Love the styling!
The ground is swallowing up all these great old gals .
Mags, you are just a chain saw away from looking under the hood of that beast! Twin H power, baby!!!❤
This is actually my favorite episode! I'm very happy with a re-upload. It doesn't always have to be new content for me 👍
It didn't need to be re-uploaded for you to watch it again.
Those are '52 and '53 Hornets. The only factory engine offered in these was a 308. Hudson used Nash bodies in '55-'56'57.

That bothered me every time he said it. I have a 51 Commodore

Thank You Steve for the great information 🌞
Always enjoy the videos
They had incredible lines wish some company would make a reproduction
What? You don’t want the same boring white SUV clone everyone else has? 🤔😏

The back of that car is incredible
These beautiful 70 year old cars should be in a museum.
Great video! My buddy had a Twin H he lost in a barn fire. It was such a cool car.
Mr. B. Here ! Morning Mags ! Hang in Steve spring is coming! 😊😊😊😊
Morning
Mr. B. Here ! Morning to you fellow Mag !
Good Morning ! Mr B
@@vet-7174 Morning to you sir !
Can't have too much Hudson... or Nash for that matter. LOVE the bathtubs!! Sweet 6's in both!
Thanks Steve ❤

I Remember watching this one
Small car, looks like an amusement park feature
I swear to God you already did these two hudsons a while back
He did. It's nothing but reuploads now. Lame.
Morning Steve..

@@googleusergp Amen! Your closing statement “worth the wait” - absolutely. Take care, Chuck
We will be here and hoping he returns soon.
My dad told me he worked for Hudson for a short time just before WW2. I asked which car did he work on? He said they were making military truck parts?
Enjoyed!!! 👍👍
Looks like they have been there a while! I often wonder why a car would be abandoned in the woods and forgotten. Surely, it had some value when it was parked...why leave it rather than sell it? Especially the twin H. Kinda sad
Back when my Dad had his used car lot, I detailed a few of these. Very cool cars then and now.
@Sego fla what year was that in that pretty kool. 👍
@@Daniel-fd3wp mid sixties
Bikini weather couple of weeks away steve , I miss katie
Hudson and Nash’s final year was 1957. It was all Rambler after that.
Great work. 👍 thumbs up chin up...love the videos
They were Hash after 1954 .Smokey Yunick ,a famous Hudson Nascar Mechanic was digusted with the shortcomings of the Nash Body and chassis for 1955 and went elsewhere .

U B milking the snow thang, Steve-o....
These are not 54s,
C’mon Steve you know the drill; when it snows it’s model cars time 😉
Sad to see these cars decaying
Better than a corroded out aluminum Head is a Cast Iron262 Wasp head on a 308 Hornet to raise the compression. Hudson's Frome passed outside of the rear Wheels
Very good I like that I didn’t know that much about the Hudson very good
Well now you know something about Hudsons but a lot of it is wrong.
Oh, yeah!!!!!!!
53, 54 had little fins on the rear
another great video when we getting a update on the ram charger
Hopefully he's out of money and will sell it to someone who will restore it as a cop car.
How did the rear wheels come off?
I hate winter weather.
~
Somebody in the past busted there ass to buy it ! What a Shame
coincido con el comentario 3 👍
Love your videos! Are they 54's. Thought the 54's had a squared up rear fender .
'51or '52
Thats a 1952. Split window and banana taillights.
They are not 54s. Steve was told so the previous two times he uploaded this video. Here it is a third time without corrections.
My Dad said these were called "Upside-down Bathtubs!"
Yup! Those and the '48-'50 Packards. 😁
@@burthenry7740 Maybe that was it - but I seem to remember something about Nash too - who later merged with Hudson.
@@DanEBoyd You're right ! The '49-'51 or so Nashes were also called 'bathtubs'. The bathtub Packards were also called pregnant elephants. No shortage of styling critics back then, either! 🤔😁
@@DanEBoyd Yes, more so the Nash
👍👍🇨🇦
That is NOT a 1954. It's a 52. Both cars seem to be 1952 model cars. But nice video. Keep up the hunt!
Morning Steve who let the dog out who let the dog out have a good day
😊
👍🏻🇦🇺💯
That's not a 54
He's been told the previous two times he uploaded the video.
Yep Steve I know where there is an original 70 AMX all original and rotting into the ground and the owner will not part with it. Sad sad story!!
Nothing but reuploads now. Lame. I miss the model car videos like last winter. Unsubscribed.
