We are working on a 51" Hudson Pacemaker, bringing her back from her fate. Will enjoy reading this blog. Waiting for more stories.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the comment! That 51 will be beautiful. I see that your going to document the build maybe? We are very interested in that progress. I am building a 1939 Hudson coupe and will have the build progress and story documented on here as we go.
ReplyDeleteYes, I plan on keeping a blog on the process. My husband bought it years ago. We drove it off and on for 2 or 3 years and then one winter the rabbits ate the spark plug wires off. So she sat for years as one of those projects that never came about. The reason that we bought it was because our sons name is Hudson and the car would have been 50 years old when he turned 16 and got his license. Well it never got done. So my son decided to take her home and put her in his garage and start getting her up and running. She is just about ready to start, trying to turn over so we will be posting the process here.
ReplyDeleteThe Pacemaker, although the entry level line for Hudson, commencing in 1950, while not a Hornet, did earn respectibility in performance, offering performance equal to the top line Nash Ambassador, which was a better than average perforer in its class. My father, in late 1950, bought a Pacemaker 4 door sedan with the optional powerdome aluminum head with 7.2 compression ratio. The standard steel head had 6.7 compression. My father mentioned he had sucked a lot of cars up the exhaust pipe with his Pacemaker. He was very happy with it, and kept it until mid-1955.
