[Jon B]

This was called the Hudson "112" model. It was the lower-priced Hudson for 1938 and 1939. It replaced the "Terraplane" as Hudson's lower-priced car in 1938. The body is basicly the same as a Hudson's, but it has a shorter wheelbase and a less-powerful engine.

Here are some images:

[Jon B]

annnakarin, do you know the Svenska Hudsonklubben? http://www.hudsonsweden.org/index.html You should talk to someone in the Club, they would have a better idea of the value of this car in Sweden. We would be guessing at the value in America....it's not the same!

[jjbubaboy]

Wow! I like it. Nice looking Hudson!
Never been to Sweden either, but would love to help you work on it Annakarin!

[annnakarin]

thank you for the information everybody

[Paul Butler]

annakarin,

Please let us know when you find out what the price is.

If you don't want it I could give it a home in England!

[annnakarin]

he wants 3000 dollars for it

is this a fare price for the car

[nhp1127]

I doubt you are going to find another solid old American car / project Hudson in Sweden for $3,000 US. Obviously, you would have to pay for shipping from the US if you bought one here. If you have already figured out how and are willing to fix it up then I say go for it.

[46HudsonPU]

he wants 3000 dollars for it

is this a fare price for the car

From the dust, etc., I am assuming that the car has not been driven in quite some time. It looks like it has been somewhat kept out of the elements, inside storage.

From that perspective, it is most likely a 'project' for you - not driveable at present.

Assuming that it is pretty much complete and stock, and that the interior is in good shape - I would say that is a very decent price for the car.

Also, as Jon has said, you probably should make contact with the HET club in your area.

I have a '39 Model 90 112 pickup truck myself. The manuals, etc., are available for these vehicles - which should help you in getting it on the road.

Good luck keep us posted, & be sure to take a lot of photos, ok?

[Paul Butler]

I'd like to see some more photos to get a better idea of the overall condition of the car BUT if I had the funds available then I'd seriously consider paying around $3,000 for the car on the basis that it looks solid and restorable.

These old things seem to be getting harder to find so I'd say go for it and enjoy bringing it back to life.

[Uncle Josh]

annakarin,

Please let us know when you find out what the price is.

If you don't want it I could give it a home in England!

Hey Paul, my 39 is still available if you want to dig it out.

Annakarin,

That price is about right in US if the car is drivable and only needs a little work to be presentable.

[annnakarin]

its drivable and has a good interior

the car is all solid , the car is just dirty on the pictures

all thing in the car works

[KEL 39]

There is a member of the HET Club in Sweden that may be able to help
you since he has a couple of "39s one being a 1939 coupe convertible.
His name is Jan Wahren and his email is janwahren@hotmail.com
Good Luck

[annnakarin]

thank you im gona be a meber of the swedish hudson club

so i ask in that forum insted

thank you every body for your intrest

regards annakarin

[Jon B]

I agree, if it is all there (no parts missing), the fenders are not dented much, the body does not have a lot of rust, and the car runs....then this would be well worth $3,000 in the U.S. Or, at least it would have been, before the current economic slowdown, LOL!

[Kevin C.]

If the car is in the condition that you describe than it is well worth the asking price. From the picture you posted it appears to have all the trim that it should have, including the chrome strip that runs down the center of the grill (that piece is missing on many 112's). From what can be seen in the picture, the grill looks like it is in good condition. Just ask Rick (46 HudsonPU) how difficult they are to find! LOL

Ahh!!! Don't get me started Kevin! :rolleyes: :D
I'm still looking for that 'chrome strip' for the center of the grille, not to mention quite a few other pieces of brightwork, etc..

If that '39 was in the U.S. and close to me, it would very tempting to buy the car and use it for spare parts! :eek: But - to be honest, I wouldn't have the heart to do that to such a nice looking & complete car...

BTW - I still need to come by your place and see that '39 of yours, hopefully soon -

[Paul Butler]

Hey Paul, my 39 is still available if you want to dig it out.

Annakarin,

Hey Uncle Josh,

If times weren't as hard as they are right now I'd be there with my shovel!

Just been put on notice here in the UK so the belt is being tightened.

[annnakarin]

now is the car mine and i drive it today

the engine runs very nice but the tre speed transmission is a litle bit

strange to drive i think the clutch is to need a rebuilt maby

its not slipping but its hard to get the gears in

is there some trick to do with the gears on this old car when you drive it

mvh / Annakarin

[51hornetA]

Annakarin, good news that you now own the car. Welcome to the world of Hudson. You probably need to flush the old clutch oil and replace with new. The clutch is the wet type that needs Hudsonite a clutch fluid. Where in Sweden are you? you may be near my friend Roland and he has Hudsons and give you some advice.

mvh / Annakarin
Contact your local Hudson Club and folks - and buy a couple of bottles of Hudsonite (your local club may have it, and it is available for purchase from the HET Store (http://socalhet.org/clubstore/car_relate.htm)). The car has a 'wet' clutch, and may just need to have the fluid replaced. It usually takes six ounces of Hudsonite, and should be done on a regular basis.

[annnakarin]

thank you for the anwsers

i live in the south of sweden

is roland car blue metallic and does hi sell caravans too

in that case i was sitting in his car in a meet here in sweden *L*

do you have an e mail adress to this roland

Yes i think i must flusch the transmisson (with kerosine???)

is there oil inte the huse off the transmission to

where the gears are ? in that case what oil an how mutch is in int

regards / Annakarin

[51hornetA]

Hey Annakarin yes that is Roland with the Blue Hudson. I will send you a pm with Rolands address. He knows all the guys at the Swedish Hudson club so he is a good contact for you.

Yes flush with kersosine.

[annnakarin]

Hello agine *L*

is there anybody that can help me

the chassie number is 9043721 the same on the motor

they have told me that maby this car is a utility car (prodused in 680 exemplar)

can some of you look this upp for me please


Regards / Annakarin

[Jon B]

Yes, your chassis number 9043721 proves that you have a 1939 Hudson "112" model. It is impossible to determine, by the number, which body type you have. Hudson did product "utility coach" in 1939. I think that the rear seat was removable so that large objects could be loaded into the car through the trunk ("boot"?) in much the same way as in a modern hatchback automobile.

No further information is possible from the chassis number. The original records and data from the Hudson company was destroyed many years ago so it is not possible to know how many of the utility coaches were manufactured.

We do know that in 1939, Hudson manufactured 640 "commercial" automobiles. All of these would have been model "112"s like your car, but some of them would have been "utility coaches", some would have been pickup trucks, others would have been delivery trucks, or station wagons, or other models. There is no way to know the actual production numbers of each body style.

[annnakarin]

thank you for the answeres the car is sold new in sweden by a company

the back seat is remowable and the car is registed for 1 person

on the head lamp its stand export and the speedometer is in kilometer per hour

is this a rare car maybe

[51hornetA]

Anna,

your car was assembled at this Swedish Hudson plant which operated from 37-39. The cars were assembled here with export lights and km speedo. This picture was sent to me from the Swedish Hudson club.

[51hornetA]

You can't beat the feeling of driving away in YOUR Hudson now. Great job Anna, rescuing that car from the 23 year old guy. Good thing he saved the car for you to buy.

[annnakarin]

the guy should have keep it as it was
we have to promice him not to build a street rod of it

or else he would not sell it to me

so the car is gonna be like this for now





/regards

[rambos_ride]

Hello Anna,

What a nice find, great looking car for what I'd consider to be an outstanding price!

I wouldn't change a thing other than make it safe to drive - have fun and please, post more pictures!

Dan

[annnakarin]

thank you Dan

and yes the car is going to be just driveble

the brakes are new ,but im missing a fueltank

im going to do the tank myself untill i find an original tank

im working as a welder so im just gonna find a tank unit thats is in 6 volt

or can i take any thank unit , think its must be 6 volt

regards /Annakarin

[Hudson308]

6V/12V isn't the issue, Anna; Whatever tank you use, you must find a sender unit for it with the correct resistance (in ohms) to work with the original dashboard fuel gauge. Many 6-volt cars from different manufacturers used senders with different resistance measurements. I've read elsewhere on this forum that the sender from a late-1940's Ford has the correct resistance for later ('48-54) Hudsons. It may be the same for your '39.

[annnakarin]

thank you for that hudson 308

i didnt now obout ohms

so i will have that in mind

now to another problem

where can i find the vacum so i can connect the window vipers

i couldtn find it att the fule pump or on the intake manifold !!!!

but under the carb base on the intake there is a plugg can i connect it there

or is there another place to conect the vipers to

regards/ Annakarin

[Jon B]

There should be a connection on the intake manifold. Where was the wiper motor connected before?

You will probably have to repair the wiper motor because the seals become hard. Many people soak the inside of the motor with a leather restorative, like "neats foot oil". You suck the oil into the motor by turning the lever on the motor back and forth. Then you allow the oil to sit for a few days. This softens the leather seal so the motor will work again.

Also, you may find a company that repairs antique automobile wiper motors. In American we have several. One is at www.wiperman.com . They repair the motors, and they sell new blades that will fit your car.

Another thing to help the motor work better, is to add a "dual action fuel pump". This pump is in two parts. The upper part provides additional vacuum for the fuel pump. The lower part pumps the petrol.

[annnakarin]

hi jon b

the conection was off and just the rubber hose was there

when i took the hose the hose fellapart so i was in the garage today and lookt at it, but not so mutch i will go to the garage tomorrow
i will look att the rest of the rubber hose , is it under the manifold or over

thankyou for the tip with the oil to the wiper motor

thanks again all folks on this forum you make it feel mutch esier

sorry for my bad english

regards / Annakarin

[Hudson308]

Your English is much better than our Swedish!!! :D
You shouldn't use the port on on the base of the carburetor for your windshield wipers. This port has a different vacuum signal which is designed for the vacuum advance on the ignition distributor. The vacuum port for the wipers should be on the intake manifold somewhere. Hopefully someone with experience with a '39 can tell you exactly where it is.

[annnakarin]

hopefully i will find it tomorow when theres light in the garage

maby the hole is just pluggd with something

and its idle a bit high , think thats bicouce its a vacum leak where the vipers will go (hopefully)

[Paul Butler]

i have the bumpers to the car and the back windows to

its my husband thats driving it when we was bying it from a gay thas just 23 yers old that loves old cars an motorcykles
Only just able today to get back onto the forum due to some strange errors about "no permissions" ...

It's great to see that you have purchased the car Anna Karin and the pictures you have posted are just dandy. I ALWAYS like to see these old things been driven and it looks as if you've got the right ideas about getting it back on the road.

My 112 is starting to look and sound tired at the moment but it still drives and still turns heads where ever I use it and that's all part of the fun of owning these old cars.

Enjoy it - I'm sure you will!

[annnakarin]

do you have any spare parts for this modell

i am missing a fuel tank , back light, passengerside

Hi AnnaKarin,

I have sent you an email regarding parts etc. I have a few spare parts but not much that would be of use to you. Spares for these old cars are becoming harder to find on this side of the world and my search has taken me over to Australia before now!

Barry - if you read this I've lost your email details (don't ask - long story!) so if you could drop me another one I'd appreciate it.

[annnakarin]

hello every body

its annakarin here *L*

i looked under the dashboard

and found 2 fuses, one was broken but i cant understand what it is for

everything is working

what is this fuse for ?? theres only 2 fuses in the hole car i think

regards / annakarin

[mars55]

Thats true Hudson used circult breakers. Generally Hudson used fuses for accessories like a radio, heater or clock.

[annnakarin]

ok thank you mars55

Annakarin

1 fuse is for the ignition system, interior lighting, gauges, etc. the other fuse is for the headlights, tailights, rear license lamp, etc.

You might want to buy the manuals for your car. These can be found online very easily. The best one for your current situation would be the 1934-39 Hudson and Terraplane Repair Manual. It is a reproduction of the original Hudson Mechanical Procedure Manual.

Hello again

sorry to say but my clutch are begining to slipping now

so now me and my husband must change the clutch

how thick is an original cork clutch ?

the oil was all black (have changed the oil )

it was begining to shatter and the clutch is slipping now :(

i have found another clutch and presureplate for the car

he have both 9 and 10 inch clutch , does both fit or is it only the 9 inch that will fit ?

is it difficult to do this jobb yourself ?

my husband have been working on american cars before but not on a hudson

i want to do this by myself but i think i must ask my husband for help

this time

thanks everybody for this exelent forum

regards

Annakarin from sweden

[Jon B]

You are fortunate, for we have the Clutch Expert on our Forum! The "doctor" will tell you exactly what to do. So, just be patient, and wait for him to leave a message for you.

[annnakarin]

ok Jon B

hopfully the doctor will have the awnser for me

so i can cruise this baby soon *L*

Annakarin from sweden

[Kevin C.]

Annakarin

When you replaced the clutch fluid, did you flush out all the old fluid? What kind of fluid/oil did you replace it with? Before you change the clutch you might want to try to make sure the clutch corks are clean, especially since you said the fluid you removed was black. The Mechanical Procedure Manual says to use kerosene to flush out the clutch. Perhaps one of the guys that deal with Hudson clutches can make a better recommendation on what to do.

Your car came from the factory with a 9 inch clutch. You can use a 10 inch clutch but you must have a matching 10 inch pressure plate AND flywheel!

You can do the job yourself but you might need help in lifting the transmission out as it has to be removed from the interior of the car. It is not necessary but I would recommend that you remove the front seat to do this.

If you haven't already, you need to buy a Mechanical Procedure Manual.

Good luck and I hope you will soon be cruising again!

Kevin C.

[Huddy42]

Hello Anna,

First question, how much oil did you put in the clutch.?? The correct amount is 1/3 of a pint .

What type of oil did you use.??
When a clutch shudders the main reason is Not enough oil.There are other reasons but that is the main one.

If it slips- too much oil or the corks are worn.

Yes you can use the 10" plate but you must use the flywheel and pressure plate as well.

The thickness of the corks should be .218 just under 1/4' over all.

If you need the clutch reconditioned I recommend Dr Doug, he is the guru of the Hudson clutch in the USA.

I have done them in Australia and have done for many years, but Dr Doug is your man.


Les.P Down Under.

[annnakarin]

thanks for all the anwsers

i will flusch the clutch and then i will put in some hudsonite


will the clutch work directly or schould i drive it for a wile before it wile
work as i should ?

im thinking if the cork is glaced ( i think there was to moutch oil and wrong oil in the clutch):confused:

i have the manual to the car

and it says the car should be driven a couples of hundred miles before the clutch will work as it should be

regards

Annakarin from sweden

[Huddy42]

At this stage I think I would just flush, refill and see what happens, the amount of oil is critical.

[annnakarin]

ok huddy i will do this and cross my fingers and hope this will fix it

here are some pictures

Annakarin from sweden

[Lee O'Dell]

Anna, thank you for sharing the pictures. I can only dream of having a garage that big. Is that ice inside the garage? Good luck with the clutch. Lee

[annnakarin]

yes lee thats the garage no its not ice

im with a car club here in sweden (the saints )

and we have a garage we rent this garage with the picture

is only one of the garage we have 2 garage in this size

we have 70 members in the club and its the second oldest car club in sweden it was est 1963

Annakarin from sweden

[annnakarin]

now i have fluschd the clutch and have put 6 ounce new hudsonite in the clutch

and yes the clutch is starting to grip more and more (how long time will it takes ?)

but its still slipping in 3 gear
so i will drive the car a bit more and then change hudsonite again

im crossing my fingers this will help

but now the car is shutter( grabbing shaaking) when the clutch i releasd

hopefully new hudsonite will help

or what do you think ?

Annakarin from sweden

[annnakarin]

the clutch is still slipping

is the clutch worn out

or maby its the linkage

what do you folk think

regards / Annakarin from sweden

[Jon B]

Did you put new Hudsonite oil in the clutch?

Have you joined Svenska Hudsonklubben? If one of their members lives near you, he or she may be able to help you, or to recommend a mechanic who can rebuild your clutch.

When the clutches are fixed, they work very well.

[annnakarin]

thanks Jon B

yes ive put in new hudsonite in the clutch and its working better now but its slipping anyway

[Billy K.TN.]

Have you adjusted the clutch linkage per the manual? If it is adjusted correctly and you have pedal clearence my thoughts is that the clutch is worn out. Only way to check for bad clutch and other parts is pull it out.

[annnakarin]

ok just what i dont wanna do right now when the wether in sweden are so fine

just my luck

thanks for this exellent forum and all the folks thats helping me

Well Rick as I've posted on here before my Old Girl has non standard headlights , non standard rear lights (although I have a pair that look right which I will be fitting on soon) , she's missing the chrome strip down the grille , the grille isn't in the best of orders , the paintwork is showing it's age - I could go on.

However I still enjoy driving her and I know that over time as we grow old together I'll be able to fix her up so that's she in a better state than me!

Hi Kevin,

Yes long time no activity here but for a long time I couldn't get onto the forum! I kept on getting an error which suggested my ISP was "banned" which I eventually traced to a possible issue with this forum having moved servers and my ISP not purging the old DNS entries. As you can see all is well now.

My car has tailights on the fenders however they are UK taillights and not at all correct for the car as indeed are the headlights. I'll post some pictures to illustrate. I did manage to pick up a pair of 38/39 rear lights which I intend to put on the car at some stage and one of my questions was going to be "where?" as I have seen cars with lights on the body and on the fenders.

I think to keep in with UK laws and legislations that I would mount the lights on the fender.

As for a bumper and the associated over-riders ; yes indeed I am still on the lookout for both a front and rear one. The front is my highest priority because , again, the one I have on the car is non-standard and the chroem has now started to peel on it. I don't want to go through the expense of stripping and chroming a non standard bumper if I can get a proper one.

Do you know of one anywhere at all? It's a slow process getting the bits together and my car will never be concours but then again that's not what I want it to be. I like to drive these old things , always have done. and as long as they look nice then that is good enough for me.

Thanks,

Paul

Just in case - be prepared to have the clutch rebuilt...

However it may have been that the clutch was lacking fluid, and took a little while for the Hudsonite to soak in & penetrate the corks.
