1953 Hudson Hornet

I am listing a 1953 Hudson Hornet sedan. this car I purchased on a auction along with another Hudson and many various parts. The individual that owned this car was a very avid Hudson collector. He took very good care of his vehicles and kept very good records. This car was his daily driver antique car so to speak. He made modifications for him and his wife so that it was more comfortable to drive.  
This Hornet I believe was repainted at some point in its life and when I get a chance to read through his records it may very well say when it was painted. I am told he has information on previous owners as well but I haven't read through the file yet. You can see it in one of the pictures.
The car was always covered in his garage along with the interior as well. Interior was also redone at some point but details were taken to keep much of the original inside pieces as possible. (Dome switches. trim on seats etc)  Dash and rear dash are in good original shape. Chrome inside the car is nice as well.
This car runs and drives very well. It has the straight six engine and hydromatic transmission. Both run as they should. The tires are the whitewall original style. tread is good but when driving they do feel old or kind of rough. I just had the master cylinder and wheel cylinders replaced. That is all new along with the car battery. This car is equipped with air conditioning and the pump was checked and is OK but does need refilled with Freon. Cruise is also added on and works. Radio inside works as well. The paint and chrome on this car are good but not perfect. There is no rust on the car and from what I can find there is no bondo!
Only things I believe this car needs is a good wash detail job. along with Freon in the air conditioner and probably new tires. New owner will get records.  
I have driven this car and love it but have many other old cars so am listing two cars this week to sell plus I am probably going to keep my other Hudson.
I have sold on Ebay for many years and try to point out all negatives to people because some can not view it in person. If you are close enough that you would like to come see this car please send me a message and I will set it up. I will be leaving on this Sunday the 11th for a few days so please try to reach me before that. I can store the car for awhile if the buyer needs to set up a hauler. and will assist with loading. Feel free to ask questions. Title will be mailed out priority USPS once payment has cleared.
