Ample trunk space. (UPDATE II: 1921 , driver Ben Harper!)

• 

One of the most inspiring photos we have ever seen. Think of doing a coast to coast in a Hudson "V" Speedster. Ample trunk room at the back, a good tire sponsor, a true friend to change places now and then 3000 miles of adventurous road ahead. If this is the American Dream, we'll sign up. (collection John Wiser, US)

UPDATE II: Alex Burr reports: "I have two photos of this mystery Hudson on my website. Captions on back of the photos states this car was a 1913 Hudson driven by Mr. Ben Harper of San Francisco, driven Frisco to NYC in 1921 - and back again." Hudsonly Alex Burr
UPDATEs came in from Peter Ransom, Mark Dawber and Kit Foster. Alll three carefully explaining us that the 'V' on the Hudson's bonnet is nothing more than the lower part of Hudson's triangular logo. Moreover Peter Ransom was happy to hear about D.J. Kava's theory on the 6-54 chassis of which he sent us a photo. (available on request)
