I don't particularly care for trucks, but I'd own this one if I could:

The newer 1947 body Hudson truck model is my favorite .Look one up. Tom a member on our site has a very nice again to me designed truck. In a nineteen thirty nine studebaker.

The Hudson brand was well built but perhaps too off the wall designed over the later years. To sell well. They had a wet clutch and a lot of nickel in the engine block castings. Their later straight six engine dominated NASAR racing in the early 1950s.

I was in my fathers 1947 Hudson when it lost the brakes. Dad got it stopped by driving it into a sandbox. No big deal but after I remembered that it was like yesterday. My mind presented a pretty good picture. There was a bicycle leaning against the large sandbox and dad replaced that for the owner. The large sandbox was probably to service the streetcar needs. This was more than a few years ago now.

The streetcars then had a coal stove to heat them. . I got to know a lot of Toronto probably for a nickel or a dime for a fare. The price escapes me. That is the one thing that bugs me a little. What I used to buy for a dollar in many cases is fifty to a hundred dollars today. You could buy that truck in decent serviceable condition for 100.00 in my time.

I too think the Hundson pickups were beautiful .

My favorite (I used to have one) is the 1941 ~ 1946 Chevrolet trucks .

My Decades gone Stepfather Lawrence took his fathers then new 1937 Terraplane out late on night in New Jersey, drove it over 60 MPH loaded with his High School buddies and bent all the connecting rods .

He in time became an engineer and told me the Terraplanes were beautiful but delicate .
