I am in Hudson Heaven, I was the oldest out of five kids my father had a 49 and 50 Merc and me and my brother would go to the drive in with my parents on friday night and my brother and I would be in our pajamas and a blanket in the back seat while my mom and dad watched the movies it was so comfortable and a lot of fun getting in the car to go on the sunday Drives and drive in movies, My uncle used to come by and he had a 54' Hudson and I kinda liked his car better then my fathers and he also took me out for rides in his car and I loved it, anyway I have a whole new respect on the hudson and its history love part 1 and part 2 of these videos thank you

[@zacharyblake]

My grandfather worked for Hudson for 27 years! Love 'em!

I heard Bill's name mentioned many times. My Dad, Keith Chamberlin, Venice, CA, collected Hudsons. He had 13 Hudsons at one time. He sold Bill Albright his favorite Hudson, a 38 Hudson, Custom 8 Series. He always regretted selling it.

I grew up with a kid whose dad had several Hudson’s. If memory serves me correctly, he had a 37 a 51 and two 54’s (one was a Twin H). He would take us kids in them for short rides around town and it’s something I’ll never forget. Beautiful great riding cars.

[@fredbeck9674]

I watched this video just because of my interest in Hudsons. I heard a familiar name, Walt Chapman. I met Walt when I looking to get a road site repair vehicle. Walt knew so much more than me and our head mechanic. He told us what we needed and all we had to do is order it. We had never heard about using a nitrogen tank instead of a compressor. Best decision we made. I listened and marveled at Walt's stories about his racing. Every year your Hudson and Walt were in the Clarion Co. Autumn Leaf Festival parade. He was a great person and I am so proud to know him.

[@lyalltreliving3613]

what beautiful cars

[@2drcpe]

You were great Bill. Thank you!

[@richardskola3570]

I still have Hudson parts left from when I drove them years ago.

[@YOUGOTIT210]

This is the second time i have watched this video. Thank you for putting it up. I did not know much about Hudson's, as a boy - born in '46, but over the last few years i have grown to appreciate them. This is the best informative video i have seen.

[@dickbuelow8968]

Sure do miss my 51,,,would to have it back more than any other car I have ever owned

[@zenoslayer9618]

Dad had a 56 hudson bought new in New York when I was 5. Had till 1962 traded in on a 63 valiant

[@jasoncarpp7742]

Awesome video! I've always had an interest in Nash, Hudson, Rambler and AMC cars.

[@ckryses3962]

Wow!! Very very Rarely i get to see peeps saying ""i have an interest in Hudson AND Nash""..you combined Nash name next to Hudson is a big thing.. big respect mate!! Yes Nash is one gorgeous thing and highly underrated and underappreciated!!

[@jasoncarpp7742]

@@ckryses3962 I'm too young to remember when either Nash, Hudson, or Rambler were ever on the market. But I remember cars like AMC. My parents had a 1974 Matador 2 door. I had a neighbour who had a Gremlin.

[@1955RodHot]

That custom at the end of the video is one wicked car. I've never seen a Hudson done like a Mercury sled, but obviously they're natural candidates for it.

[@eldorado303]

the yellow one looks damn good let me tell you. and the black one ( last)is also spectacular. cheers for a fantastic work.

[@ckryses3962]

6:29 oh man i am looooosing it, actually i lost my heart to that beautiful gearhead factor cluster...wow i want that!!

[@dusterdude238]

My friend and I are Members of the HET Club & Knew Bill Albright. he was a good man. and he is sorely Missed BTW the 56 Hud at 3:07 used to be Our little Jewel.. we loved that car but it developed Mechanical problems And we had Our Eye on A 1949 Hudson so we sold it to someone who brought it to Bill and he Totally Re-Did it and last I heard it was Running like a top again.

[@SquillyMon]

I believe this fellow/location was in a Barn Find episode, If I'm not mistaken... Boy Howdy that Black Hudson Convertible is a real beauty! Looks like a fantastic body type for a very open style drop top.

[@37terraplane]

Hey Earl, I have a 53 Hornet club coupe and am doing a '37 2- door sedan slantback 8. Would be very interested in that '54 Hollywood...I LOVE Hudsons..in fact, my '53 came outta Tennessee!!!!

[@vernwallen4246]

I was thinking that Kaiser-Frazer 1948 had the first"slab side"automobile.Well i was wrong again.🔧🔧🔧🔧🔧🔧

[@dickbuelow8968]

I saw Hudson Hornet Brougham Convertible on an auction site,,,One Million Dollars is what it sold for

[@ckryses3962]

Ahhhh foolish of them!! These cars ain't meant for park in bedroom, they needs to driven, maintain and grind as hard as you can over corners!

[@ufoengines]

So Cool! I'd like to have a Hornet. That Nash looks pretty cool .

[@granskare]

a good friend of my dad's had a late 1930s Terraplane 4 door in black.

[@robertdiamondoil2384]

Hudson made beautiful cars they lost a lot of there beauty when they merged with Nash, beautiful collection thanks for sharing on this video

[@georgebelev1900]

From 0:00 to 1:00 heartbreaking!!!

[@petergarton3459]

Are there any Hornet "X" export models around? My (now deceased)father-in-law had one that he got through the factory's racing team mechanic.

[@JBC814]

The '54 Hudson Super Wasp looks a little smaller than the '53. I've never seen a '54 before, but it's an impressive improvement over the '53. They shouldn't have merged with Nash before giving the new body a run for the money. It looks a lot better than the '55 rebadged AMC model. And they could have bought a V8 with trans. from Chrysler to offer as an option.

[@nonelost1]

Great vid! One question though, why does that black '53 convertible not have a rear window in it?

[@UberLummox]

Most older convertibles you could unzip the rear window and lay it flat.

[@37terraplane]

what colors is it? how long ago was it done....twin H engine? Keep me posted!

[@Rebel9668]

Love the ad on that racecar, lol...pure sanitized gasoline. Is there such a thing as unsanitary gasoline?

[@dlwatib]

Gasoline was often very dirty and most engines had fuel filters. Presumably "pure sanitized gasoline" was passed through a filter.

[@UberLummox]

About a '53 Hudson.

[@markaustin4370]

Boo on the customs.. Keep them original

[@ramblergarage]

they didnt merge with AMC! Hudson merged with Nash to form American Motors. I thought he was supposed to be an expert?
