Hudsons, quite the difference between stylish cars, and odd looking trucks

The owner told me a bit of Hudson Hollywood information I've never learned before, the Hollywood was fundamentally a convertible chassis with a coupe top. They had to switch them between assembly lines from the convertible line to the hardtop line after getting all the undercarriage and chassis done. This is why it has such a roomy interior

This one is new to San Diego... it was just purchased from Florida. What does that matter? Well, I like the Hudson Hollywood look a lot, and realised I hadn't seen this one before, so I asked if it had been here long or if it was recently brought to San Diego.

Fire trucks can show up in the most remote places, like Kathmandu and New Zealand

The above Morris was found in Kathmandu

The middle photo is a Hudson and bottom is a Buick, and they were photographed in 1962 in New Zealand.. and all photos are from http://www.oldclassiccar.co.uk/fire-engine.htm and I learned of it from Romano in Pakistan who let us know about the olod Merryweather fire engines he's helping to restore... thanks Romano!

Looks like an enjoyable experience!

Wow. Where did it go? Wouldn't this be a car show stopper if you drove in with it?

Not the most elegant design, but I think the blunt look of serviceabity is spot on for a mobile car repair type of business

Hudson hot rod, but doesn't the hood and fenders evoke a Cadillac look?
