Hudson Great 8
Read my story and find out why I'm so GREAT!

What's my story?
I'm a rare car, so rare that I have 98% of my original parts that I started with. I've been a part of two families and helped bring those two families much joy through my life. It's time that I find my 3rd family so I'm taking resumes! We'll actually I'm being auctioned off but that's the highlight of a Classic Car's life. I've won 1st in the only car show I entered and from what i have heard, I'm quite the looker and get lots of attention.
What else do you get by adding me to your family? You get to be part of a good cause. You see my last owner came down with Leukemia while bringing me back to my glory days. So unfortunately I will be one of his last pride and joy's but portions of my proceeds will go in helping out Leukemia patients.
