Doesn't seem to be the seam along the top on the back of the cab outside. Given the dash present, it would have to be a 42 then.

My guess was a 41-42, just based on the radio plate in the dash. However, I gave the seller instructions on locating the serial number plate, and he was able to find it - 383832. Based on that alone, it is a '46. My guess would be a very early '46 (due to the earlier radio plate - Hudson used the commercial series to dispose of excess parts from earlier years), however a radio could have been added by a dealer or even the owner subsequent to purchase...

383832 - Model 58 built in Dec 1945 (3344-5174).

Yes, the pictures was not very good and hard to see. Definitely not 41. That has a completely different dash and radio grille. Anyway, it's an early 46. Interesting they must have changed their manufacturing procedure after they got going.
