Someone may step in here to correct me, but I believe the factory production figures for body styles are no longer available. They were pitched out at the time of the Nash-Hudson merger in 1954.

H-E-T Club members keep various registries for surviving cars of a particular make, model and body style, but these only list those vehicles which are reported to the registry keeper by their owners. There are probably many other cars out there whose owners don't send in the information to the registry keepers.

Jon is correct that the production by series is not available. It's my understanding that Hudson did not maintain records of production by series.

From my own experience with a '36 Hudson convertible, I believe there are only eight known to exist, and all are 8-cylinder models.
4 in the USA
1 in Norway
2 in Russia (but one has all-Russian drive train)
1 in The Netherlands

And how many of these are different types? Mine is with dual spare tires in the front fenders, I see the photos of others have a spare on the rear. Was there others?

One in the US has twin "sidemounts" (though originally just one on the right side), the one in Russia with Russian drivetrain also has twins, the other has the single at the rear. I believe the other three in the US also have the single spare on the rear.

There's one of the USA ones at the LeMay museum in Tacoma, WA.

Thank you, seems like i got a very rare car then. Mine was at a museum here in Norway for many years too, but now it will be used for the sunny days!

Tim, that's my former '36 convertible, a product of eight years of labor and money! It's now owned by Italian jewelry magnate Nicola Bulgari, and was (is?) on loan to the LeMay facility along with a few other cars of Bulgari's.

Raymond, I'm happy to know that your car is now out of the museum and "on the road"!

Park,

Beautiful car! The Bulgari collection was a real treat to see there at the LeMay. I thought an HET member probably owned it at one time. Thanks for sharing those photos, so nice to see what you started with.

Thanks Tim. It was a labor of love once I got past the decisioon point, whether to just do a half-way job on it or swallow hard and dive in to a long restoration. The decision was easy once I realized that even to do the minimum I'd have $35k in it, and it would still be sitting on a rusty frame! That just didn't make sense, so it was either abort the whole thing or dive in and go all the way. That choice was rather easy.

Yep, it's all over on the first bolt out if you really want the nice car. Where can you find these today? It was worth it!
