Show us them cars!

Don't have a lot of pictures of my cars from the past, there have been MANY! I'm 78 and got my first car when I was 15. Started restoring old stuff in the 60's. Here's one that took me a few years to do..

Do you know what it is? Make, model?

I'm going to guess '46 Hudson Super 6.

Excellent...only off by 1 year. It's a '47. Only way to tell the difference is the lower hood ornament and the trunk ornament and of course the serial number.

It was a 50/50 for me on the year and I was a little unsure of model, but it looks like it had less trim than the Commodore, so I went with the Super 6. I'll admit for the last bit, I cheated by looking at pictures.

Not an easy car to guess. When I was trailering it across country (open trailer) in the days of CB radios, most on air guesses were Buick.
Thanks for playing along.

I have a couple Avenger GT12s. And if you look in the background you'll see my two dune buggy projects, one of my daily drivers a 1954 Ford Customline and way in the back is a '51 Studebaker. (One of three Studes)

That is a real cool looking Avenger...we have an old Fiberfab building somewhat local, always wondered if it was somehow connected to the kit car manufacturer, Fiberfab. The local one makes, or made, bathtub stalls...probably not related, though they both used fiberglass to make their products .

Here's another one I had some time ago....guesses on year, make and model?

Not a Ford...or any of the "big 3".

Here's another driver I had in the 80's. Southern '66 Impala. I lived in Michigan but NEVER bought cars from the north.

1933 Studebaker Dictator? Though, I don't think they called it a Dictator in '33. Maybe a 'model 50' or something like that.

That's probably it...'34 Hudson. I was looking at Nash, but forgot Hudson.

 

[Duchess]

My grandfather used to speak fondly about the Hudson/Essex Terraplane. I'm going with that, too.

 

[mickeyc]

Good eye guys.....

 

[mickeyc]

Here's another of my many cars....Sold it in '92.

 

[mickeyc]

This one was too big a gas guzzler to keep, but it was a beauty!

Fully loaded with all the bells and whistles.

My first brand new car. Bought with my discharge money after the army. Wound up racing it some...headers, balanced and blueprinted engine, shift kit in the torqueflite, suspension mods. Wife wouldn't drive it, too fast.
