1950 Hudson recovery and first start

Helping my friend Bennett bring home and start his new 1950 Hudson Hornet. He got this at an auction, and as we looked under the hood, we figured we might as well try and get it started. Here's what happened next.

Man it’s unfortunate that the original drivetrain is gone but otherwise looks like is all there can be a reliable driver.

New to the channel, thats a really awesome car!

[@johndonlon1611]

That's a nice car and you're lucky to have it. With a modern powerplant you can spend more time enjoying it than chasing "hens teeth" parts. Thanks for sharing.

A Hudson not a Hudson without that honking big Flathead six.

[@idiotking1]

agreed, but this one came to him as you see it. Know anyone on the East Coast with a Hudson 6?
