1931 Hudson Series T Boat-Tailed Sport Roadster

This boat-tail Hudson was given a restoration by a former owner. It was purchased by Dr. Atwood from a Canadian collector in November of 1984. While in her care, she gave the car another restoration by John Sanders' Antique Auto Restoration in Rockford.

In 1985, the car earned another AACA National First, followed by a Grand National First in 1986 at Asheville, North Carolina.

The car is painted in orange paint, with brown fenders and a tan canvas top. The interior and rumble seat are upholstered in brown leather. The chassis is painted gloss black. In the engine bay is a 233.7 cubic-inch L-head inline eight-cylinder engine that offers 87 horsepower. There is a three-speed manual transmission and four-wheel mechanical brakes.

In 2009, this Super Bearcat was offered for sale at the Automobiles of Arizona auction presented by RM Auctions. The lot was estimated to sell for $110,000 - $150,000 and offered without reserve. As bidding came to a close, the lot had been sold for $110,000, including the buyer's premium.
