Rare Find!

First of all, I need to thank my wife (and now business partner) Jocelyn for helping create the new blog.  Also, thanks to our new followers!  We've had 6 followers join in just 12 hours!!  Now on to today's post...

Last week, we had a piece of automobile history roll right in to our shop on Columbia Avenue.  I am a bit of a car junkey, as are some of our staff, so we were naturally excited.  It was a 1954 Hudson Super Jet.  This car kind of gained a bad reputation as the car that killed Hudson.  That, however, was not really fair to this little gem of a car.

It was referred to as an engineering masterpiece by Road and Track magazine when it debuted.  It was quick, reliable, and well, kind of ugly compared to its competition.  At a cost of just under $2,000, it was more expensive than rival Chevy's and Fords.  It also featured short, stubby body lines and a in-line 6 cylinder engine, where the other Detroir-produced cars were low, long, lean, and powered with big V-8 motors.

Now looking back, it's a cute car, and a working piece of history.  Seeing and working on these vehicles is what inspires us!  We love that our customers trust us with their prized cars.  So here's the questions:  What is your favorite classic car?  Feel free to leave your comments!
