Lot #930.1 - The Pacemaker was an all-new model for Hudson in 1950. It had a 119" wheelbase, weighed 3460lbs, had a 232cid 6-cylinder producing 112hp and sold for $1,933. This Hudson was sold new in Ohio to a farmer. A neighbor, Joseph Simek, purchased the car in the early 60's when the car had just over 8,000 miles. He rarely drove the car and after a fresh repaint, gave the car to his son in the late 80's/early 90's. At the time, it had 16,000 miles. Joseph Simek Jr. shipped the car to Phoenix where he used the car sparingly. Finally, he retired to his home in San Diego with this Hudson. The current owner acquired the car in June 2007 with 17,700+ miles. The interior, carpets and door panels are mint original. This Hudson runs and drives as only a 17,000 mile car can. It is a rare opportunity to find this kind of survivor.
