DU SITE
D'ENCHERES <<E-BAY>> usa
|
- hôte
: e-bay,
le fameux site d'enchères aux USA qui comprend
toujours entre 1 et 2 millions d'objets à
enchérir. C'est celui aussi qui a acheté
notre iBazar national avec ses 4 à 600 mille
objets aux enchères et qui est devenu
ebay.fr
- voitures
américaines : il y en a toujours beaucoup avec
de superbes photos sur le site
américain.
Le site
français
propose en général entre 2 et 4 pages
d'objets et de voitures avec une certaine modestie pour
les photos. Ceci va sans doute changer
- photos
: elles sont du vendeur Bob Adams qui habite Scottsdale
(Arizona)

Description : 1955 Hudson Hornet Custom - California Car
- Restored!
- Here
is a Rare and Unique 1950's cruiser! It is a 1955
Hudson Hornet Custom 4-Dr Sedan Built by the American
Motors Corp. It is a Black Plate California car
with 77,680 actual miles and has spent most if not all
its' life in sunny California! 1955 was the first
year for the V8 engine for Hudson and this car is
equipped with the Packard supplied 320 cu. in. V8 engine
and the Packard Twin Ultramatic transmission. It
also comes equipped with the factory Continental Kit and
Reclining seats that transform into Twin Travel
beds.
- This
little Hudson was restored 10 - 12 years ago and still
looks great as my photos show! It is painted its'
original colors of Sunburst Yellow and Black two tone and
although the paint is not new, it is still quite
attractive. I would call it a very nice, driver
quality paint job. The bumpers have been rechromed
and are gorgeous. The rest of the chrome is very
nice original with only an occasional ding in the
stainless. The glass is all in good
condition. An interesting detail is that the grille
emblem lights up with the headlights.
- The
interior is restored and although not necessarily the
correct fabric, it follows the original pattern and it
looks great! It has a unique AMC feature of
full reclining front seats that produce Twin Travel beds
when lowered. The plastic armrest bases need to be
replaced but the dash and gauges and steering wheel are
all in excellent condition. Even the original
tinted plastic sunvisors are nice.
- Mechanically,
it seems to run and drive very nice and it cruises at 70
to 80 MPH! The prior owner has driven it over
10,000 miles in the past 6-8 years and regularly took it
on 200+ mile trips and even volunteered to drive it from
Carmel, California to Phoenix for me! The car has
only 77K actual miles. The engine runs well and the
transmission shifts as it should. The brakes have
been rebuilt with new shoes and rebuilt booster.
The exhaust is quiet and two of the tires are somewhat
worn. The steering gear box has a little tight or
flat spot but is not that objectionable. The engine
has a small oil leak and a transmission seal leaks a
little when it sits for a longer time. Most of the
gauges work and the gas gauge and radio do not.
Most of the lights work as well as the heater and
wipers. It really is a FUN car to
drive!
- The
body is, for the most part, very solid and rust
free. There is a slight dent in the roof and the
body is otherwise very straight. In the interest of
full disclosure, I will mention a small area of rust, low
in the LF inner fender well and a few small blisters on
each rocker panel and the corner of the LF fender.
The floor pan has a couple pin holes but otherwise, this
car is as rock solid and rust free as you would expect a
California car to be!
- This
is a great and unique 50's Cruiser and surely will be the
center of attention at any car show! It looks as
good in person as it does in my photos, so please
consider bidding on this Classic Hudson Hornet!
Included with the car is a box full of extra parts, the
original Owners Manual as well as a Shop Manual and a
fitted car cover! Please call or email with
any questions and I can help with shipping quotes and
arrangements.
