1938 Hudson Terraplane

VERIFIED SELLER
SOLD

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.

1949 Hudson Commodore Six Convertible

Current Ask
VERIFIED SELLER
SOLD

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.
