am interested in contacting anyone with Model 33. Very short production numbers and time so most parts I have to make from pics as reference for my "33'

If you are a member of the H-E-T you can simply look in your roster and find all the people who own the same model.

Another way is to contact the person who keeps the registry for early Hudsons. Look under INFO dropdown above, and follow link to Vehicle Registries.

Fred, I guess the first question is if your 33 is one of the "Mile a Minute" Roadsters. The best way to tell is if the floor on your car has two levels on it. This was only on the Mile a Minute roadsters. Here is some photos of the one in Salt Lake city that I took today.

This 1912 Mile-a-Minute roadster is in Salt Lake City, Utah in the private collection of John Price. John has a collection of racing cars (including the Mormon Meter) that numbers around 30. The display plaque reads that it is one of two known to exist. This tan car is originally from New York and was purchased and restored by Eli Williams in the early 70's. Eli also purchased and restored one in the gray colors and later sold the car to a gentleman from California. It was originally from Washington.

My car was acquired from estate of car enthusiast who was having his Mile a Minute made . It has a Continental motor, Spicer universal behind the transmission and the "shelf" as was built on the first 100 or so cars I believe from parts book.
When I got the car it did not have spoke wheels but a rear end from Studebaker and Dodge front wheels (all solid).
I have had the 12 and 10 spoke wheels made and in process of fitting rims. This may not be an authentic car but it is what previous owner wanted to replicate. He had many parts copied from his friend who has one.
This project has a 12 year history of restoration and I hope to have it up in a couple months. Just rebuilt 2 ea. DU4 mags that work excellent so hope to have spark and on rubber soon.

Thanks for reply. I have many small parts to make and always looking for detail photos of other "33:

I have only found one other pic of this car and did not know location or any details. I like the almond/brown combination as well.My car is painted yellow with brown trim and brown leather. I like this more than the yellow /black combination
Another member has brought his "33" touring home but I have yet to see it up close and personable!!.
I have tried to find out as much as I can about the Hudson of this era so there is only 7 or 8 I know of to date.

Fred, When our Utah Chapter visited the John Price Racing Car Collection (Google this name and see what he has posted)this past Saturday the folks there were very protective of the collection and limited us quite a bit on what we could see and photograph. The photos that I took were all from in front of the car and all the cars were about a foot apart from the next car. The fellow who runs the collection is a long time friend of mine and in speaking with him I mentioned that I would like to take some photos to use for an article for our WTN. Long story short, If he can obtain permission from the owner, I will return this next week and we will take the car out for some photos. I plan to shoot a ton, but is there anything I should be capturing to help you with your project?

I can understand why they are very protective as there are so few left. Paul Inuario has #160 and he has helped with some details and facts. I am really looking for some pics of the spark and throttle linkage on the carb side. I have had to fabricate the wheel controls as there were none, and will be making the linkage for the car. It seems that every dash has "similar" layout for gauges but they are not all the same????? My magneto does not have the extra coil as it is an early model( early 1911 - 1912).
I do not have the pin stripping done yet as it will be the last item but always check other cars.
Not sure if I can send my pics on HET but can email to you if you are interested,

Fred

Fred, I checked our HET roster and I guess you must be a new member of the Hudson Club. Anyway, where do you live? I would love to see your car. I have a love for the rare and old. My oldest is an Essex 28 (Modified) roadster pick up--but, that is ok because I call it a resto-rod. Would love to see some photos. My email is browniepetersen@readytek.net

Thanks
