It has been in multiple magazines (American Rodder and Goodguys Magazine in 2003 to name just two).

The 3:08 rear gear ratio gets approx.

20 mpg (not too bad).This car attracts attention everywhere it goes.

Most swear that it’s a Merc but closer inspection proves that it’s a Hudson.

The rumble of the glass packs, the ease of steering, the comfort of the air conditioning, the comfort of the power seats and the thumbs up from all the cars around make it all worthwhile.According to the owner, after 30,000 miles the car still looks and performs as it did when he completed building it.

The car never sees rain and is always garaged.

The owner has even driven this car on trips of 200 miles without hesitation.
