Doc Hudson visits Lucille

One of my good friends owns a '53 Hudson Hornet (he was the first to register it way back in 1974) and he stopped by to borrow a mighty vac to bleed his brakes. I snapped a few pics because this is one sweet car. I love the movie Cars and with Lucille in the driveway I couldn't help but think of Mader!

Nice pics. Like all that chrome but wouldn't want to have to polish it.

That is a beauty! My father-in-law would like one of those. Shoot, I wouldn't mind having one either, very nice.

The style of the Hudsons and Packards of the late '40's and early '50's was the epitome of American design IMO! That's gorgeous. They had some serious get-up-and-go, too.

I concur... very stylish car, they don't make 'em like that anymore... not even close. Here are the rest of the pics I snapped.

What a beauty! The style of the Hudson's is special. Thanks for sharing. Oh, and Lucille looks just fine too.

Yep, that Hudson is an eye-catcher. Lucille looked like a little peanut next to that tank!
