I would love to also get some information on routine maintenance. I just purchased a 29 Hudson Town Sedan from a long time Hudson member who recently passed away. He did not have the car running in several years. What do I need to check, lubricate, open, shut, fill, empty, clean, etc. to get this car on the road?

Here is one pic of bringing it out of the garage:

The paint has been redone, but the interior is original and despite some wear spots, it is in good condition. I was thrilled to find one with an original interior in that shape. The headliner has three small rips, the front seat frame that comes around the left side of the seat has worn through (2-3 inches of wood showing through. The door panels are very good condition. I will be looking to rechrome the radiator shell and bumpers. The entire car is complete and original. Will probably have some seat covers made until The previous owner was C.R. Thompson of Tulsa and had the car for around 40 years. I am having the car detailed by Dick Reynolds (club member) before it gets tranported up to Des Moines. Thought I could reduce the shock factor with my wife. I told my 7 year old that this was Doc Hudson's grandfather - color is right. Thanks for the comments!
