March Newsletter The North Texas Chapter of the Hudson-Essex-Terraplane Club, Inc. The Hudson Monthly Volume 44, Issue 3 Dedicated to the Preservation of the great cars built by Hudson March 2015 Chapter Officers Sweethearts & Orphans XVI President - Calvin Buchanan Well, another Sweethearts & Orphans Meet has passed into history. 1382 CR 4191 Decatur, TX 76234 S&O XVI brought another very rewarding and successful year. The weather 940-627-5229 for the show, while cooler than the 70s that were predicted earlier in the week, Vice-President - Mike Harrel was decent, if not outstanding. I’m glad the meet wasn’t a week later! Whose 241 Richerson idea was it to have a car show in February, anyway? Still, it seems like we have Denison, TX 75021 903-327-8209 more good weather than bad. It’s almost time to start holding our breath for 2016! Secretary – Clinton Webb 194 County Rd. 197 Gainesville, TX 76240 As usual, the “S&O family” turned out in force.

We had 67 pre-registrations plus 20 more registrations at the meet, for a total of 87 registra- tions, but we had only 67 orphan cars present. I think there may have been a few more that weren’t regis- tered because I’m pretty sure that I counted a few more than 70 orphans while walking around the square, but the ratio of registrations to cars was still about 4:3. We only had four “no shows” among our pre- registrations, which was also an outstanding number. Two of those were understandable: our own Don Mozynski needed to work over the weekend on a critical situation so he couldn’t make it; and the other was due to a failed oil-line on Marty Bricker’s ’74 AMX. We missed you, Don, hope your alternative weekend was successful! That left only two others that I will follow up on so they know we hope to see them next time. On one hand, this oddity was great because it shows that we’ve built commitment. People come to the meet even if they can’t bring their cars. On the other hand, S&O is a car show and it’s im- portant to have as many cars at the show as possible. Still, on bal- ance, I am pleased that people love the event so much that they come even when their cars can’t make it. Thanks to all who have that kind of dedication! But, please, if you possibly can… Bring your car! You may be interested in some of the numbers. There was a nice distribution of orphan marques: 12 Oldsmobiles; 10 Hudsons; 10 Studebakers; 7 AMCs; 7 Corvairs; 5 Pontiacs; 3 Kaisers, 3 Nashes, 3 Plymouths, 3 Willys (two Willys- Knights and a Whippet), 2 Packards, 1 Franklin, and 1 Mercury. There were 25 cars from the 60s; 14 from the 50s; and the rest were pretty evenly divided among the other decades. The oldest was a 1909 Sears Mo- tor Buggy and the newest was a 1985 Olds Cutlass Supreme. It was a banner year for the North Texas Chapter. There were ten categories where Peoples’ Choice ballots were cast. Hudsons weren’t eligible for three of them: 1960-69, 1970-79 and 1980-89, but Hudson products won or tied in five of the seven categories in which they were eligible! Congrats to the winners - an outstanding showing by any standard! Here are the winners of the Peoples’ Choice Awards, Drivers’ Award and Sweethearts’ Award: 1919 and Earlier Clayton Adams* 1915 Hudson “Mini-roadster” 1920 to 1929 Don & Ferne Tremelling 1929 Willys-Knight 1930 to 1939 Calvin & Virginia Buchanan 1932 Essex-Terraplane 4-Door Phaeton 1940 to 1949 Lew & Vicki Bird 1947 Hudson Super Six Club Coupe 1950 to 1959 (tie) HETHS 1951 Hudson – “Doc Hudson” Replica 1950 to 1959 (tie) Gene & Elaine Breece 1958 Packard Hawk (Continue on page 5) VOLUME 44, ISSUE 3 THEHUDSONMONTHLY PAGE 3 North Texas Hudson Dealers March Business Meeting Date: March 21, 2015 Location: Flips Patio Grill-Grapevine, TX Address: 415 West State Highway 114 Time:12:00 Noon Directions: Flips Grill is located on the south access road of Highway 114 east of William D.

E-mail [email protected] Fan to Radiator Clearance Proper clearance between the fan blades and the radiator is important and should be carefully checked par- ticularly if and when installing a radiator core. Should the fan be too close, there is danger of damaging the core on an emergency stop, also there is apt to be an objectionable fan noise. If set too far from the core, cooling efficiency will be impaired, particularly at low speed. This clearance should be 5/8 to 7/8 of one inch. Provision for moving radiator core forward or aft is by means of elongated holes - four in each side of the radiator Mounting Channel Assembly. Two Brackets at each side secure the Radiator to the Mounting Channel. A cap screw and a lip in each Bracket fits in elongated holes and limits the amount of adjust- ment. Fan Blade Assembly, 305153, that was originally used on 7A only, is now standard on all series A en- gines. The blades of this fan are slightly cured at the tips to improve its efficiency.

Congratulations, Clayton! He exemplifies what is need- ed to keep our great club going and growing! Hats off to you, too, Jody and Rachel, his parents! You, too, Grandpa and Grandma! “Doc Hudson” contin- ued to draw fans and friends. In addition to the Peoples’ Choice Award that “Doc” won, he drew crowds and made friends throughout the day of the show. It’s really been an eye-opener to see how people are drawn to this car, and how well he’s ac- complishing his mission in getting the Hudson name out and creating visibility for the HET Club and the HETHS. It’s been a blast hosting him! If all goes well, he’s headed for South Texas in March.

  • 1 “I Grew up Loving Cars and the Southern California Car Culture. My Dad Was a Parts Manager at a Chevrolet Dealership, So V
    “I grew up loving cars and the Southern California car culture. My dad was a parts manager at a Chevrolet dealership, so ‘Cars’ was very personal to me — the characters, the small town, their love and support for each other and their way of life. I couldn’t stop thinking about them. I wanted to take another road trip to new places around the world, and I thought a way into that world could be another passion of mine, the spy movie genre. I just couldn’t shake that idea of marrying the two distinctly different worlds of Radiator Springs and international intrigue. And here we are.” — John Lasseter, Director ABOUT THE PRODUCTION Pixar Animation Studios and Walt Disney Studios are off to the races in “Cars 2” as star racecar Lightning McQueen (voice of Owen Wilson) and his best friend, the incomparable tow truck Mater (voice of Larry the Cable Guy), jump-start a new adventure to exotic new lands stretching across the globe. The duo are joined by a hometown pit crew from Radiator Springs when they head overseas to support Lightning as he competes in the first-ever World Grand Prix, a race created to determine the world’s fastest car. But the road to the finish line is filled with plenty of potholes, detours and bombshells when Mater is mistakenly ensnared in an intriguing escapade of his own: international espionage. Mater finds himself torn between assisting Lightning McQueen in the high-profile race and “towing” the line in a top-secret mission orchestrated by master British spy Finn McMissile (voice of Michael Caine) and the stunning rookie field spy Holley Shiftwell (voice of Emily Mortimer).

  • Cars” Scene Guide
    “Cars” Scene Guide “Cars” Scene Guide One thing that makes the “Cars” DVD enjoyable is the ability for fans to repeatedly watch their favorite scenes. Here’s a comprehensive roadmap to the scenes of “Cars.” 1. Dinoco 400 [9:26]. Title sequence introducing rookie race car Lightning McQueen as he psyches himself up for a big race in which he’s set to challenge the current champion, The King, and Chick Hicks, who has long raced in the champ’s shadow. McQueen enters the Motor Speedway race track to the cheers of a packed arena and effortlessly passes the competition. 2. Victory Lane [4:10]. McQueen maneuvers his way through a bad pile-up on the track to take the lead while The King and Chick Hicks make pit stops. McQueen decides not to enter the pit, against the advice of his own pit crew. McQueen says he doesn’t need his crew and ends up blowing two tires just before he reaches the finish line, giving The King and Chick a chance to catch up. The big finish is too close to call. 3. Rust-Eaze [2:30]. While judges replay film footage to determine the leader, McQueen dreams of victory, and fantasizes about winning the rich Dinoco sponsorship and leaving his original Rust-Eaze sponsors in the dust. But judges announce it’s a three-way tie that will be broken in a winner-take-all race in California the following week. 4. "Life Is a Highway" [3:33]. Montage of McQueen riding in the back of his fancy car-carrier driven by loyal Mack, the only pit crew member that hasn’t deserted the pompous McQueen.
