I had a 1949 Pontiac "Beetleback", that had the OHV straight eight. Also had the first type of Hydramatic trans that Olds, and Pontiac shared back then. I do remember the old Hudson "Twin-H', that was a great road car also. Folks had a 1951 Hornet, that was a dream to ride in from China Lake, CA., to Los Angeles, with all five kids, and two adults. Remember..."you step DOWN into your Hudson" That was their motto.
