This is one of those places that it is almost impossible to know if it is worth going or not from a distance.

I had the misfortune of finding out that I missed a large auction sale of older cars not far from me years ago. The nephew was personally selling off the cars. The last and only time I went. They were dispersed in seven large barns.

The problem was he had serious issues with the prices that time.Many were good but just not worth half of what he wanted out of them. Ninety percent of the collection was composed of Hudson cars.

Around the mid thirties there were some spectacular art deco Hudson designs and he had some. Actually a quality car with a low current following. Nickle component in the engine blocks and cork clutches running in oil.

Like Studebaker their every day run of vehicles styling was not all that popular. It probably was a substantial contributor to their eventual demise. They entered a period of constant declining market share when the overall market was expanding. Car companies have suffered from executive managements that thought only short term all too often.
