Vehicle Description

1939 Hudson Series 95 Country Club 8

Exterior

Looking much like the 1935-36 Ford with its teardrop headlights,

small design details were changed, but it borrows heavily from this

design which was wildly popular for the times. The teardrops are on

either of the rounded fenders, and a wonderfully curvaceous

horizontal ribbed grille curves around the front of the car. The

bumper below has bumper guards for extra protection for the fancy

grille. A pointed but rounded nosed hood with chromed trimmings

tops this grille and is a front hinged version. Fenders and running

boards are still prevalent in this era and this car is no

exception. The rear fenders have skirts for the more "aero" look

similar to the Zephyr of the time period. 4 doors with a common

center B pillar hinge are minding their gaps nicely above the

running boards. Glass is nicely preserved and a front split

windscreen is on this model. The roofline of the car is long and

sleek with it taking a dive downward to the bump out trunk neatly

molded into the metal of the back of the car. At the top of the

trunk is a solid oval rear glass. The pontoon-like rear fenders

eventually melt onto the rear with elongated teardrop tail lights

on either corner and a nice shiny bumper is framing the bottom.

16-inch wheels are wrapped in wide whitewall tires which weigh in

at 6.50-16 in spec.

Interior

A swing of the doors shows off some stitched mauve colored mohair

with panels that are straight with embossed art deco designs.

Bakelite escutcheons are holding on to chromed actuators and

cranks, and a small cream colored armrest on the back of the doors.

A lower brown carpeted horizontal panel is showing on the bottoms

and has experienced some tearing. In front is a nicely covered

light mauve broadcloth covered bench with some light stitching for

insert panels. The back bench has a nice armrest inserted on either

side and a hold on chromed bar attached to the back of the front

bench. Fronting the art deco styled dash is a banjo steering wheel

rimmed in cream bakelite. The dash is faux painted wood and appears

to be emulating birch or holly with a green tinting. Rounded over

rectangular instrumentation is in this faux painted wood and also

plenty of buttons and pull knobs, including a cigar lighter. A

wonderful central dash radio is in and in front of the passenger is

a large rectangular clock that oozes art deco as well. A dual

heater is below, and the dash top is slightly lighter steel formed

to the same shape as the dash. Black rubber matting covers the

floors in front, and for the rear passengers, more upscale tan

carpeting. The headliner is tan mohair and is nice and tight and

stain free. Some damage to the fabric rope like material at the

edges of the door seas is evident.

Drivetrain

Under the hood in a patinaed engine bay is a 254.4ci inline

flathead 8 cylinder engine fitted with the Hudson Power Dome

cylinder head. It has a 2-barrel carburetor on top and a 3 speed

manual in back which is original to the car. A 4.11 rear axle is

installed.

Undercarriage

Care and proper storage has protected this environment, but not

without heavy surface rust on the floor pans frame and rockers. No

invasive rust is noted even on the body hangers and undersides of

the running boards. Leaf sprung suspension is all around, and drum

brakes prevail on all 4 corners.
