Chassis no. 7B155382. Green with dark green cloth top over black leather. 308, column shift automatic, wire wheels, whitewalls, fender skirts, sun visor, dual mirrors, factory radio.

Evaluation: The paint is beautiful from a short distance but there are some small blemishes on the front fenders and the hood is a few shades lighter than the rest of the car. Very good chrome. Clean top. Beautiful interior.

Bottom Line: Not sold at a $78,000 high bid at Worldwide Auburn last year and let go here for a higher but still somewhat modest amount. One could argue that this is a six-figure Hudson, but the seller wisely decided to take the money on the table rather than hop on the Mecum tour for a few rounds of seller and transport fees.
