yes, very rare. All early Hudson (Terraplane) pickups or panels are cut down sedans done at the factory.

I could go look at it for someone for the right price.

Seems like a lot of money considering the condition.

It is pretty cool looking though!

If I had to pick 1 Terraplane it would be the 1933 8 convertible. i would argue one of the first "muscle cars" (big motor is small cheap car). I believe it held all hill climbing records of the time.

Hudson really outdid themselves and tossed the big straight-8 into the lightweight Essex-Terraplane chassis. This factory hotrod was supposed to counter Ford's strong and flashy new flathead V8, and counter the Ford it did. The 1933 Essex-Terraplane 8 produced 94 bhp from 244 cubic inches versus Ford's 65 from 221, and both marques offered roadsters weighing about 2500 pounds. The resulting Essex-Terraplane could top 95 mph and hit 60 in less than ten seconds - almost unheard-of feats in that day.

Yet more demonstration that 1938 was a banner year for US car styling.

Did you mean 1933? If so I agree. some of the very nicest designs were at the beginning of the depression (1932/1933). If you actually meant 1938 , it was also a good year just not as impressive as the early 30's IMHO.
