The modified 1927 Hudson chassis supports a beautiful Vanden Plas style tourer body, reminiscent of sporting Bentley and Stutz cars. The handmade aluminum panels rest on Brazilian Mahogany framework. The entire construction utilizes the absolute finest materials available. It is believed that this vehicle is the only supercharged Hudson of its era in the world today.
The interior features an engine-turned aluminum dashboard with mahogany trim. The convertible top-bows are made of American cherry. There is saddle-colored Connolly hide interior.
The most appealing aspect of this vehicle is the blower mounted on the front. There is a three-speed manual gearbox with new gears to alter the ratios.
At the 2002 Amelia Island Concours d'Elegance, this Hudson Sports Tourer was awarded the Chairmans Award. In 2009, it was offered for sale at the Automobiles of Amelia Island auction presented by RM Auctions. The car was estimated to sell for $140,000 - $180,000. The lot was sold for a high bid of $198,000, including buyer's premium.
