Fabulous Hudson Hornets............ Ignore or Delete if you are not a total automobile fan/geezer/geek like me.
I spend most of my days living in the past.... Reading any articles or books I can get my hands on about the past - construction / history / cars / boats / almost anything with an I.C.E. engine I am a fan of / addicted too and can't learn or dream enough about owning ,working on or enjoy driving ICEs.
That is unless I am getting beat up (playing) and drug around the house by grandkids. I have a 9 year old grandaughter / a six year old and a two year old grandson who are all just so full of energy I should see about getting a blood transfusion from them! OOF, they can be rough when they are young and like to jump all over me and the furniture and demand "Poppa play with us now!"
So my love of all things mechanical brings me to another Star of the Past I hope to share with any other motor heads here at BITOG. Been knowing abou the Hudson motor cars for years and some of their history. Found this article intersting as I was searching to find out why such a great American vehicle just went away. Always been a fan and lusted over American Motors Corporation muscle cars from their brief period of existence in the 70s. The AMX / Javelin / Rebel / Rebel Machine etc.... that I used to see ripping up drag strips and at times leaving the Big Three cars behind in a cloud of smoke and rubber..... I found out Hudson was merged into the corporation named AMC who took Nash Motor Cars and Hudsons under their wing to create one company. Unfortunately Hudsons run died out shortly after.
As I say - please ENJOY or simply DELETE.
