My Dad's first car was a '39 Hudson Coupe.... sweet!

An excellent presentation. Much thanks.

So glad you kept this car mechanically stock, but it would have been nice if you kept it 6 volts and just made that system work well. It can easily be done, but most people under a certain age nowadays think that it just doesn't work well.

Groovy 👍

I've heard the sunshield above the windshield called a Dagwood. An old cartoon character, with big eyebrows...

The grille kind of reminds me of mid-50s Packards.

"All this wood . . ." -- That's not wood, it's steel painted to look like wood. The is the first time I've ever heard of someone thinking it's really wood

[@indymotorvault]

Good catch! It’s amazing how much effort went into painting the steel to closely resemble a veneered finish. When viewed from several inches away, only then can you see evidence of being painted. 🙌 Thank you for watching!

What's up with the home depot weatherstripping on the doors? Wildrick definitely didn't do that I hope.

For the upteenth time to you younger guys, THAT IS NOT A HANDHOLD!!! That is a lap robe cord. They weren't actually needed in post war cars, unless it didn't have a heater, but before the 40s, heaters were recirculating units, and they didn't do much to give heat to the back seat passengers, not quickly anyway, so there was often a blanket hung on those cords for the back seat passengers to use to keep their legs warm. Especially the ladies, as most women wore skirts or dresses.
