Hudsons, quite the difference between stylish cars, and odd looking trucks

The owner told me a bit of Hudson Hollywood information I've never learned before, the Hollywood was fundamentally a convertible chassis with a coupe top. They had to switch them between assembly lines from the convertible line to the hardtop line after getting all the undercarriage and chassis done. This is why it has such a roomy interior
This one is new to San Diego... it was just purchased from Florida. What does that matter? Well, I like the Hudson Hollywood look a lot, and realised I hadn't seen this one before, so I asked if it had been here long or if it was recently brought to San Diego.

Fire trucks can show up in the most remote places, like Kathmandu and New Zealand

The above Morris was found in Kathmandu



The middle photo is a Hudson and bottom is a Buick, and they were photographed in 1962 in New Zealand.. and all photos are from http://www.oldclassiccar.co.uk/fire-engine.htm and I learned of it from Romano in Pakistan who let us know about the olod Merryweather fire engines he's helping to restore... thanks Romano!
