Less than 10 examples of this particular model are known to exist as of today. The car has changed hands and even was in the ownership of a noted Collector named Eldon Hostefler. There are extensive records of the history and work performed in this car throughout its recent history. The car is stated to be "never restored", well preserved and highly original in addition to its rarity. This information is all consignor-stated. The recent history can be traced due to titling. Exterior Looking much like the 1935-36 Ford with its teardrop headlights, small design details were changed, but it borrows heavily from this design which was wildly popular for the times. The teardrops are on either of the rounded fenders, and a wonderfully curvaceous horizontal ribbed grille curves around the front of the car. The bumper below has bumper guards for extra protection for the fancy grille. A pointed but rounded nosed hood with chromed trimmings tops this grille and is a front hinged version. Fenders and running boards are still prevalent in this era and this car is no exception. The rear fenders have skirts for the more "aero" look similar to the Zephyr of the time period. 4 doors with a common center B pillar hinge are minding their gaps nicely above the running boards. Glass is nicely preserved and a front split windscreen is on this model. The roofline of the car is long and sleek with it taking a dive downward to the bump out trunk neatly molded into the metal of the back of the car. At the top of the trunk is a solid oval rear glass. The pontoon-like rear fenders eventually melt onto the rear with elongated teardrop tail lights on either corner and a nice shiny bumper is framing the bottom. 16-inch wheels are wrapped in wide whitewall tires which weigh in at 6.50-16 in spec. Interior A swing of the doors shows off some stitched mauve colored mohair with panels that are straight with embossed art deco designs. Bakelite escutcheons are holding on to chromed actuators and cranks, and a small cream colored armrest on the back of the doors. A lower brown carpeted horizontal panel is showing on the bottoms and has experienced some tearing. In front is a nicely covered light mauve broadcloth covered bench with some light stitching for insert panels. The back bench has a nice armrest inserted on either side and a hold on chromed bar attached to the back of the front bench. Fronting the art deco styled dash is a banjo steering wheel rimmed in cream bakelite. The dash is faux painted wood and appears to be emulating birch or holly with a green tinting. Rounded over rectangular instrumentation is in this faux painted wood and also plenty of buttons and pull knobs, including a cigar lighter. A wonderful central dash radio is in and in front of the passenger is a large rectangular clock that oozes art deco as well. A dual heater is below, and the dash top is slightly lighter steel formed to the same shape as the dash. Black rubber matting covers the floors in front, and for the rear passengers, more upscale tan carpeting. The headliner is tan mohair and is nice and tight and stain free. Some damage to the fabric rope like material at the edges of the door seas is evident. Drivetrain Under the hood in a patinaed engine bay is a 254.4ci inline flathead 8 cylinder engine fitted with the Hudson Power Dome cylinder head. It has a 2-barrel carburetor on top and a 3 speed manual in back which is original to the car. A 4.11 rear axle is installed. Undercarriage Care and proper storage has protected this environment, but not without heavy surface rust on the floor pans frame and rockers. No invasive rust is noted even on the body hangers and undersides of the running boards. Leaf sprung suspension is all around, and drum brakes prevail on all 4 corners. Drive-Ability She fired right up and off to the test track which is the real test for a car. In this case though, it proved to be not a challenge as all was working just fine save for the clock. Nice smooth acceleration, good solid transmission, and decent handling for a large car. A rare version with only 10 known to exist. It borrowed designs from several manufacturers, however, does present uniquely as its own and as of course a Hudson.

This car was originally modified in 1958 and two years later was put into storage in 1960. Emerging from a 51-year slumber in 2011 this classic cruiser went through a mechanical restoration with meticulous care and attention to preserve this car's appearance in its as-found condition. The pink and black two-tone paint is a classic 50's color combination on this four-door Hudson. The finish is unrestored representing the condition it was in when pulled from storage and preserved. The hand-painted pinstripe throughout the body is a classic touch and compliments the base paint job. The chrome bumpers and related trim are all original showing pitting and are rich in patina. The trunk compartment is unrestored featuring the original rubber floor mat with the spare tire and jack tools all present. The trunk floor is well preserved no doubt due to the rubber coating applied 60-some years ago keeping the metal free of any rust-through. The front windshield visor and stainless side-window visors with the driver's side-mounted searchlight are classic 50's era owner add-ons. In the case of this Hornet these subtle touches accentuate the sleek body lines and the lowered stance on this classic. Opening the doors on this Hudson is like opening a portal to the past that takes you back to a time when dashboards were pieces of art adorned in chrome and ivory. The interior is all original and has simply been cleaned. The original upholstery is present and in good condition showing some light wear but no rips or tears. The seat insert fabric and door panels as well as the rear grab rail are great examples of the formal quality of car interiors that was so rich during this time period. The dash cluster has a heavy Art Deco influence with an oversized speedometer and clock framing fuel and temperature gauges and oil and amp indicator lights and plenty of chrome accouterments. The Motorola AM radio is still present and looking at it you can almost hear the classic doo-whoop music coming from the speaker. Under the hood the original engine was replaced with a larger 1956 Hudson 308cid inline 6-cylinder with a 262 cylinder head and the powerplant was gone through during the restoration process. Era-correct performance upgrades include a mild camshaft Hudson dual carburetor intake and Clifford Performance header that flows into a new exhaust with a glass-packed bullet-style muffler. Power is transferred through a column-shifted 3-speed manual transmission. Underneath the frame and underbody are unrestored however the frame and floorboards are clean with no signs of any rust-through issues. The lowered stance was accomplished using lowering blocks on the rear leaf springs and lowered front springs with new shocks on all four corners. The brakes have been rebuilt including new lines and rubber hoses. This car is truly amazing in its capturing the car culture of the time and is turn-key ready for cruising to share it with other enthusiasts.
