Description
Lot #992 - This 1932 Hudson Indy Car re-creation was inspired by the one-off Hudson Special raced by Al Miller and mechanic Howard Creith at the 1932 Indianapolis 500. This car was professionally built from the ground up by a father and son team over a 14-year period. Virtually every part of this car was built from scratch, using period photos and information. The frame was custom-made and utilizes a modified Hudson front suspension with a Ford 9” rear end. The body was hand-formed from aluminum and finished to a concours-quality standard, down to period-correct Hudson Special livery on the cowl. The engine has been bored and stroked to 254ci and features a host of special upgrades for racing, including a dry-sump oiling system with cooler, alternator and four single-barrel Weber carburetors. A special camshaft was designed by Isky Cams and personally ground by Ed Iskenderian. The exhaust is a custom eight-into-one pipe in stainless-steel. The transmission is a 3-speed manual gearbox. The racer is authentically equipped with a central gear lever and an outside brake handle. This car has been built to drive and has been proven on the racetrack. It raced on the track at the 2014 Millers at Milwaukee Mile Speedway.
