Description:
1954 Hudson Hornet Club Coupe ExteriorAll bulbous design panels with the early "aero look" drape this allsteel car. Some design features give us hints of the big 3manufacturers, but ultimately the car stands on its own as a uniquepiece manufactured by a 4th company. We shall start upfront wherethe headlights and grille are reminiscent of the Chevrolets of theday with a single bezeled headlight on either front quarter, asomewhat bulbous hood and open chrome encircled grille below. Asingle large cloisonne badge in the grille center in red,designates it a Hudson as does the H U D S O N badge the hoodfront. A view from the side of this car is the centerfold shot asthe roofline rear glass and use of italicized spears on the sides,fender skirts, and Cadillac styled rear quarter uppers and taillights add in a touch of class. All steel is rust free and paintedin Pasture Green which has been very nicely applied but not withouta few faults and flaws. On the rounded over trunk lid is alsoplenty of badging with the Twin H power badge and a spaceshipstyled rocket HORNET badge taking off on the passengers side.Below is the large chrome edge of the trunk lid along with a widebumper with a center protective frame for the plate and verticallyrounded over bars exaggerating the actual size. On this rearquarters is also an additional trimming which cants rearward isnice and wide with ribs and it starts another spear which runs backto the back wrap around bumper. The car floats on wide white walltires with shiny badged moon caps in their centers covering thewheels. Right down to the chromed side glass visors and wide rearglass trimmings this car drips of early 50s styling.InteriorI swing open the doors and horizontal ribbed green panels in vinylare running across the sills, and lowers. In the center is a darktan rectangular insert panel which has a sexy armrest topped in aband of dark green and the shiny cranks. Moving inside reveals thecurvaceous seats which are in smooth green vinyl bolsters and tuckand roll dark tan inserts. These are in an upholstered "tub" if youwill, and are like new. An overstuffed rear bench with plenty ofroom for at least 3, stretches across the back. Up front the dashesis all original and truly unique in its shape and use of materials.A large glass panel oval with a circular bump up in its centerhouses a semicircular speedo and other gauges and lights with aclock on the drivers right. Sheridan style numerals jump out atyou on the speedos black background. Some ribbed chrome edgingpersists throughout the dash and a central radio from the factoryis installed. More horizontal trim ribbed panels are on theremainder of the dash fronting the passenger and all the remainingdash is in deeply painted green steel. A central heater is mountedbelow the dash and floats above nice brown loop pile carpeting.Above is a beautifully tight tan headliner. Some kudos to the trunkwhich has also been carefully restored and has a covering of moreof the brown loop pile carpeting.DrivetrainUnder the hood in a fully restored and deep green painted enginebay resides the original 308 ci inline 6 cylinder designated as aTwin H power mill. It has dual single barrel Carter carburetors ontop, and aluminum Powerdome head is on the top of this I6. AHydramatic 4-speed automatic transmission powers a 4.09 rear axle.No rust, supple wiring and hoses, and all shiny and brite underthis hood.
