Seller's Notes

GR Auto Gallery is excited to present this 1940 Hudson Traveler, a rare prewar classic finished in deep black with tan leather bench seats. Its graceful lines are accented by chrome bumpers, black steel wheels with chrome hubcaps, and wide whitewall tires that perfectly capture the elegance of the era. From the hood ornament to the subtle factory details, this Traveler embodies the dignified style that made Hudson a standout in American motoring history.
Under the hood sits the original 175ci I6, paired with a 3-speed manual transmission. This drivetrain has been thoughtfully maintained and refreshed over the years, with recent work including new pistons and rings, a rebuilt carburetor, rebuilt starter and generator, rebuilt fuel pump, new plug wires, and a fresh tune-up. Additional work includes four new shocks, new U-joints, a new muffler and tailpipe, and a professionally cleaned radiator. The head has been removed, milled, and fitted with a new gasket, ensuring this classic runs as smooth as it looks.
The interior remains largely original, with a rare factory clock, fuel, temperature, oil pressure, and charge gauges, along with an analog clock, all evoking the atmosphere of a true prewar driving experience. Service stickers from decades past remain on the inside of the driver’s door, adding to the authenticity. This Traveler is manual in every sense, from windows to locks, offering a direct and engaging connection to its mechanical roots.
Having spent nearly four decades in a museum from 1976 to 2014, this Hudson has been preserved with care, carrying both historical significance and a large folder of service records to document its journey. It’s a true survivor that blends originality with dependable roadworthiness.
