We bring them to life in the present for the whole world to see. Come on in and check us out and see what you can do to get your classic beast turned to beauty. Bring back the Good Ol' Days with Good Fellaz!1942 Hudson Six Series History
Possible explanation of numbers:
Notice that the numbers up to the beginning of WWII follow the system of using the second digit of the model year as the first digit in the s/n and that in 1946/7 that wasn't true. They couldn't use "6" as that was the first digit in 1936 models....same for '47 (7). Since the production plans for 1943 were put on hold and the serial numbering system had already been established as 31, 32, 33, etc., they maintained that plan for model #s for '46. Production, or plans for it, resumed in late '45 but the s/ns for them couldn't be "5*" 'cause the 5* was already used in 1935. So, they used the 3* as the model numbers and 5* as the serial numbers. This explains why the '46 Hudson all have 3* model numbers and 5* serial numbers. Of course, 1947 was a similar dilemma with the "7" having been used up so they just added the 1 and made them all "17" serial and model numbers, avoiding any conflict with previous numbering systems.
By 1942, Hudson officially had the Traveler and Deluxe on the 116″ wheelbase, the Super Six on a 121″ wheelbase, and the Commodore Six and Eight, both on a 121″ wheelbase. Hudson brochures simplified this considerably, as the cars were lumped into the Six, Super Six, or Commodore Series.
1930-1945 Car Numbering System
In the car numbering system used in 1940, 1941, and 1942 Hudson production, the first two figures of the car number denote the model. The succeeding figures comprise the actual serial number, and these figures run in a single series, regardless of model.
The car number is stamped on a metal plate located on the rear of the right front body hinge pillar.
In the case of the Model 20, a letter (P, T, or C) is also stamped on the plate. This letter is located just to the left of the number, and identifies the car as being of the Passenger (Deluxe), Traveler, or Commercial series. An extra letter "L" used in combination with the P, T, or C indicates that the car is equipped with the optional 3" X 5" engine. The engine number is the same as the car number and is stamped on the top of the cylinder block, right side, between numbers one and two exhaust ports.
1935 through 1950 Serial and Engine Numbering System
In 1936, Hudson revamped its cars, introducing a new "radial safety control" / "rhythmic ride" suspension which suspended the live front axle from two steel bars, as well as from leaf springs. Doing this allowed the use of longer, softer leaf springs ("rhythmic ride"), and prevented bumps and braking from moving the car off course. The 1936 Hudsons were also considerably larger inside than competitive cars — Hudson claimed a 145-cubic-foot (4.1 m3) interior, comparing it to 121 cubic feet (3.4 m3) in the "largest of other popular cars." (According to United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) measurements, the cavernous Chrysler LHS only reached 126 cubic feet or 3.6 cubic metres) With the optional bulging trunk lid, the Hudsons could store 21 cubic feet (0.59 m3) of luggage (the LHS, 19 cubic feet or 0.54 cubic metres), though that might have been an optimistic measurement. The 1936 engines were powerful for the time, from 93 to 124 horsepower (69 to 92 kilowatts; 94 to 126 metric horsepower).The 1939 models joined other American cars in the use of a column-mounted gearshift lever. This freed front-seat passenger space and remained the industry standard through the 1960s, when "bucket seats" came into vogue. Hudson became the first car manufacturer to use foam rubber in its seats. The Hudson Terraplane was dropped. For 1940 Hudson introduced coil spring independent front suspension, aircraft style shock absorbers mounted within the front springs and true center-point steering on all its models, a major advance in performance among cars in this price range. Despite all these changes, Hudson sales for 1940 were lower than 1939 and the company lost money again. The advent of military contracts the following year brought relief.
The 1941 Hudsons retained the front end styling of the 1940 models but the bodies were new with 5.5 inches added to their length giving more legroom. A new manual 3 speed syncromesh transmission was quieter with all helical gears. Wheelbases increased by 3 inches, with offerings of 116, 121 and 128 inches, and height was decreased with flatter roofs. Convertibles now had a power operated top.

Helping Family who Lost a Loved One!
Help Dustin Halversons Family
Hi everyone. On Friday June 30, 2017, my wife's family lost a son, brother, lover and most of all a father. My brother-in-law Dustin Halverson was in a tragic motorcycle accident and did not survive. He leaves behind the love of his life Stormi Werner and their three kids. Emma will be three in August, Mason will be 2 in September and Taylor will be 1 in October. Stormi now not only has to deal with the loss of her soul mate but also with raising these three beautiful babies alone.
Dustin and Stormi were getting ready to make an offer on a house for a forever home for their family. We would like some help to make this dream a reality for Stormi and the kids. Any thing we can raise will go to them to help with college funds for the kids and to get a forever home for this family in need. Dustin was an amazing father and he loved Stormi, Emma, Mason, and Taylor with everything he had. They didn't deserve this loss but they do deserve a fighting chance at a good future. I thank you all for reading and for all the thoughts and prayers that have been give so far.
Please look twice and save a life.

MINNEAPOLIS (WCCO) — A 29-year-old Fairmont man is dead after a motorcycle crash Friday night in Martin County.
The Minnesota State Patrol says the crash happened on Highway 15 and Adams Avenue in Fairmont at about 9:11 p.m.
Dustin Todd Halverson was traveling westbound on a Kawasaki Racer, and was struck by an eastbound Ford Taurus. Both were trying to turn onto northbound Highway 15 at the time of the crash.
Halverson, who was not wearing a helmet, was struck and killed.
The passengers in the Ford — 50-year-old Sherilyn Kay Vonfeldt and 51-year-old Jerome Raymond Vonfeldt – were not hurt in the crash. Both are also from Fairmont.
The state patrol is investigating.
Share the Road....Avoid Accidents
This article from "Esurence" can help us all be more aware and sharing when driving with a motorcyclist! Be safe and enjoy!
Why motorcycles can make drivers nervous
In addition to their ability to weave in and out of lanes, motorcycles are smaller and harder to spot. With all due respect to the Smart car, motorcycles are the smallest vehicles on the roads. And because of their size, they often appear to be faster and farther away than they actually are.Motorcycles also lack the safety devices of most cars and trucks, like seat belts and air bags, which explains why it's almost always the motorcycle riders who are most at risk in collisions with passenger vehicles.
Frankly, it can be nerve-wracking to drive a vehicle that leaves other riders around you so vulnerable. But there are a few things drivers can do to drive confidently and responsibly around motorcycles.
** How to drive safely around motorcycles
Here are 5 general rules to bear in mind the next time you share the road with motorcycles.
Follow the 4-second rule
Respect Mother Nature
Look before you turn
Check your blind spots often
Be a pal
Now spread the word through good, safe driving
By watching out for each other and understanding the obstacles faced (and posed) by motorcycles, we can avoid needless accidents and safely share the road with our 2-wheeling friends.
Stick these knowledge feathers in your safe-driving cap and continue down the path to enlightenment by reading our other driving tips.

WATCH FOR MOTORCYCLES!
As the weather warms up and riders feel prepared to go ride, they keep in their hearts that other motorists will pay attention to them when driving. We just lost a loved one last night because people were not paying attention to him on his bike. He leaves behind an amazing wife and young children. Prayers to them and our family.
Please......we cannot stress enough to others to please exercise proper driving and precaution when you see a biker. When you hear a biker, please pay attention. They are sons, daughters, mothers, fathers, brothers, sisters and more. They are loved and so are you. Please drive and ride carefully! We want everyone home safely.
