A World Animal Day Mystery? (upd. 1929 Hudson Model L Sport Phaeton)


Let's not forget to give some attention to our friends today. It's World Animal Day! Be it your horse, your cat or dog they all deserve more than average attention. Possibly an extra portion of extraordinary pet food. But in general 'quality time' like shown in the Swedish scenery above is best. Looking at the sympa picture we thought the car to be a twenties Fiat 525 tourer, yet the hubs are wrong (we think). We hope to hear your opinion. Yet of course only after you spend some time with your pet friends! And we're not sure that at a leash on the running board is the best idea. Why not consider to give him/her some real, uncut Quality Time! (restored link)(enjoy!)

So going from the knowledgeable information supplied (re the wheel spokes and side lights), this is a 1928 Hudson. I guess still a long wheelbase model, the Model O on the 127" wheelbase, with the Custom Four Door Phaeton body. Hudson-built I guess? Or maybe to a Murphy design? Biddle and Smart only came in for 1929 I believe.

It is a 1928 Hudson Super Six, twelve wooden wheel spokes, 1929 had ten wooden spokes.Another clue is the sidelights, 1929 mounting curved back to keep the light away from the bonnet when it was opened. Essex had the same spoke and sidelight update for 1929 as well. My 1928 Essex sidelights can be hit by the bonnet when it is opened.

More re Hudson; according to The Standard Catalog Hudson dropped the 'Super Six' moniker for 1929 and called the car The Greater Hudson. I know most people still refer to the '29s as Super Sixes though. Of course from 1930 it was replaced by a totally new, smaller, eight cylinder model. Comments from a Hudson expert?

Yes, a Hudson, maybe not a '29, and definitely not the dual-cowl Sport Phaeton (there's no rear cowl). Probably a seven-passenger phaeton. Will have to wait until I return to my library for better ID.

The latest it can be is 1928, as that's the last year Hudson used the triangles on their hubcaps and had the rear spring lubrication access hole in the valance panel.

The car in question is a 1929 Hudson Super Six , Hudson always used a white triangle on the radiator emblem and a triangle on the hubcaps. This car appears to be a long wheelbase model.

Now that is what I call a real automobile! I agree with Mark Dawber, definitely a 1929 Hudson Dual-Cowl Sport Phaeton: A flamboyant finish to the Roaring '20s. Patricia, please, please remember that I have another birthday coming up soon and this car would make me very happy!!!!

I think the 'leash' is shadows, but what about the bullet hole in the rear wing?
David Barker.

editor: of course you are right about the leash & shadow.Too many hours at the monitors...

I bow to the wisdom of others re the Hudson heritage, but to my knowledge the Fiat 525N were never fitted with wooden wheels. Only disc or sankey type. Car looks too long to be a 525S shirt chassis car.

Triangular badge on hubcaps - Hudson. I think it is a 1929 Model L (on the 139" wheelbase) with a Sport Phaeton body by Biddle and Smart.
