1940 Hudson Six Traveler Series 40T Coupe

This Hudson Series 40T Traveler Six Utility Coupe was an intact original example when it was located in Ohio. It was complete with the optional sliding cargo drawer. A prior owner named John D. Lebold of Perrysburg, Ohio, had it fully restored with the frame off, using many NOS (New Old Stock) parts, including fenders and running boards. The original engine was frost-damaged, so a 1947-vintage unit was rebuilt by a Hudson specialist and installed.

In 1979, the car was awarded AACA Senior First Prize honors. The Hostetlers acquired the car from Mr. Lebold in February 1992. More recently, the car was on loan to the Gilmore Car Museum in Hickory Corners, Michigan.
