good looking design
and the shifter stalk, about the size of a normal flashlight... good looking elegant design for the 1930's. The Tucker had the same shifter Saturday, December 18, 2010

This grill gets it.... the Hudson Terraplane hood ornament is not easy on the eyes... so this one has a Plymouth piece instead, and looks awesome

images via Garage Journal member BB767 (Thomas) http://www.garagejournal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=51567&page=4 but if you think the Terraplane that the tree osmosised with is far out, look at page one of the thread an see how Thomas keep after and restored a 5 acre piece of land with a 1930's mechanics garage that included a pre 1935 "Rotary" brand car lift, a Pepsi machine, 35 ton floor press, 48 tons of junk scrap steel and 278 varous tires, a 57 chev with title but totally clapped out, two tractors an IH and a Case, NOS auto parts from the 40's, 50's and 60's and maybe best of all, a few flat head engines and a a Sun Engine Analyzer built in the late 1930's and used by a father as a blacksmith/welding shop and later in the 50's one of his sons did automotive repair there until his death in the mid 1970's. The father carried on until his retirement in the 1980's.The shop was then was slowly under used and finally abandoned. http://www.garagejournal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=51567
The above 46-49 Jeep work truck for the shop that this terraplane became a permanent fixture of. Work trucks (real ones) beng rarely photographed, and who ever heard of a Jeep work truck? I had to post it. Friday, December 4, 2009
1938 Hudson Super Terraplane, barn find... with the coolest dash and gauges

I dig the hood and grill chrome
It's got the most interesting shifter, but look just past that and see the oil pressure indicator... and it doesn't read numbers when not running, it simply says NO oil pressure... simple, straightforward, to the point. How did this not become the norm?
No oil pressure and not charging, I love it!
