Nope, had a Hudson Hornet

The fabulous Hudson Hornet. Do you know if it had the Twin H engine...dual carbs, 308 cube flathead six ? Great handler and moved with that big six.

Yeah they were really considered a hot rod back then. They competed with flat head 6's v8s and straight 8's and the stove bolt 6's ( chevys) They were a coveted car for us hot rodders that were broke and could only dream.

I can remember being about 8 years old, in Chicago in minus 100 degrees, and having Dad let me start the beast. Can still remember the color; brown with a tan top on top of the banana shape
