1955 Hudson Metropolitan

This 1938 Hudson Terraplane Rat Rod is a bold fusion of pre-war American design and modern hot rod engineering. Built on a 1971 Chevrolet ¾-ton chassis, this custom creation abandons originality in favor of strength, capability, and unmistakable presence. The rat rod philosophy is fully embraced here, combining an intentionally weathered appearance with serious mechanical upgrades underneath. Powered by a 355ci V8 and riding on modern suspension components, this Terraplane delivers a driving experience that is raw, aggressive, and purpose-built. It is not a restoration, but rather a carefully executed custom hot rod designed to stand apart from conventional classics.

Hudson was a Detroit-based automaker that was founded in 1909, but merged with Kelvinator in 1954 and subsequently died off. Their most opulent offering during the 1940s and early 1950s was the Commodore. This full-size car came in various forms, including as a sedan, coupe, convertible, and even a short-lived pickup truck. Made across three generations, today’s 1949 Hudson Commodore Six Convertible comes from the third and last generation. Residing in Naples, Florida, this quintessential 1940s classic car includes the spare tire, jack, and lug nut wrench as well. The current owner says that only 656 Commodore Convertibles were made in 1949, so you’re a part of a club that’s more exclusive than some supercars! This car was even displayed at the Meadowbrook Concours d’Elegance in 2009, we’re told.

Hudson – a brand that you may not have heard of, but your parents and grandparents definitely have. This interesting American automaker was born in 1909, but defunct by 1954 as they merged with Nash-Kelvinator. If you trace Hudson’s history further forward, you’ll find that it eventually traverses into AMC. Nevertheless, in its heyday, Hudsons were famous for their distinctive styling cues. The Commodore ran between 1941 and 1942 before World War II necessitated a stoppage of civilian automotive production. It returned by 1946 and was made for a further six years. The Commodore represented the largest and most luxurious automobile from Hudson’s product line-up. Today, finding a Commodore isn’t easy, but we’ve got one right here. So if you wish, call or DM us and pick up this 1950 Hudson Commodore Six Convertible from its current home in Los Gatos, California. It’s a lovely classic car to own and drive, as well as being something rather rare.

The fourth-generation Chevrolet Corvette brought a dramatic transformation to America's sports car, introducing a sharply styled, aerodynamically efficient body, advanced digital instrumentation, and a sophisticated chassis designed to challenge European performance cars.

Twelve cylinders, six liters of displacement, and an engine with a bloodline that extends all the way to the legendary Pagani Zonda. The R129-generation SL was developed during an era when Mercedes-Benz placed extraordinary emphasis on engineering, refinement, and technological innovation, and the V12-powered SL 600 stood at the very top of the lineup. Its sophisticated M120 V12 engine would later provide the foundation for the Mercedes-Benz and AMG powerplants used in the Pagani Zonda, including the enlarged 7.3L versions found in some of the Italian manufacturer's most celebrated supercars. This 1996 Mercedes-Benz SL 600 Roadster, showing just 45,039 miles, comes finished in classic Black over an Exclusive Mushroom leather interior, creating a timeless combination that complements the R129's elegant design. Equipped with a naturally aspirated 6.0L V12, a five-speed automatic transmission, and desirable factory options including Xenon headlights, Electronic Stability Program, and a premium sound system, this example offers an appealing combination of performance and grand touring luxury. With its removable hardtop, power-operated convertible roof, and remarkable twelve-cylinder heritage, this SL 600 delivers a distinctly sophisticated chapter of Mercedes-Benz engineering history.

The 1957 Chevrolet Bel Air is one of the most celebrated American automobiles of the 1950s, and its distinctive tailfins, extensive chrome detailing, and unmistakable styling have made it a cornerstone of the classic car hobby. As the final installment of Chevrolet's iconic Tri-Five generation, the 1957 model introduced sharper styling and further refinements to the small-block V8 that had helped transform the brand's performance reputation. This 1957 Chevrolet Bel Air Sport Coupe, showing just 1,642 miles, captures that golden era of American motoring with its striking Onyx Black and India Ivory two-tone exterior, Black and Silver interior, and abundant polished chrome. Beneath the hood sits a 283ci V8 equipped with dual four-barrel carburetors, paired with a desirable Muncie M20 4-speed manual transmission. Additional highlights include polished aluminum REV wheels, a dual aluminized exhaust system, a 3.36 rear axle ratio, and several mechanical updates designed to enhance its driving experience. Combining the timeless appeal of a two-door hardtop with V8 performance and a traditional four-speed manual gearbox, this Bel Air offers the distinctive character that has kept the Tri-Five Chevrolets at the center of American automotive enthusiasm for generations.
