My father and his father and my uncle, my fathers sisters husband were all Hudson men. Unfortnately they are all gone now. My uncle just passed 3 days ago at the age of 82. I had to put my mother in a nurseig home a year ago and when I cleaned out the house I found pic's of my fathers first car a 28 Essix and a few of his other Hudsons includeing a pic of my uncle's 57 Hudson. My uncle also had a Marlin and a few Ambo's too. He loved his 69 Ambo wagon and sold it still in goood shape running after 150,000 miles even with that horrible BW trans that was never rebuilt. But it was a 343 and had the cast iron one not that crappy aluminum one.
