Looking for a new toy? A car to attract attention and turn heads? MotoeXotica Classic Cars presents this one of a kind 1936 Hudson Terraplane Rat Rod for your consideration. It has slightly more than 2,000 miles since it was built so we know the previous owner really shook the car down mechanically. It is still titled as a 1936 Hudson Terraplane!
The exterior, a light pistachio green with patina, is in overall very good order. The bodywork is solid and straight, the engine cradle is very tidy and the battery is good order. In addition, the rat rod wears Ford two-lite headlights with amber foglights below that. The car also has custom, green LED lights underneath.
The Hudson rolls on Milestar Streetsteel radials, 215/70R15 in front and 255/70R15 in back. The tires have fewer than 500 miles on them. Each tire is mounted on Weld vented alloy wheels. The wheels and tires are in very good order.
Between the front wheels rests an overhauled Ford 302 CID V-8 engine with a mild camshaft. Backing this motor is a rebuilt three-speed automatic transmission with a rear differential from a 1980 Chevrolet Malibu with 3.73 gearing. The previous owner reports that the car easily attains 80 mph. Driver convenience features include power brakes and tilt steering column.
Open the suicide doors and inside the car’s teal bucket seats are in great shape while the headliner is in good, original order. There’s a three-spoke steering wheel with a wood rim that is in very good condition. The inner door panels are in good, original order while the wooden dashboard features a full array of Performance Gauges. The shift lever, which almost touches the roof, is also in good, original order. Extras include an air horn and compact disc player.
If you want something that stands out at a car show or a cruise event, this could just be the ticket as you probably won’t see another Hudson at a show, much less a Terraplane Rat Rod. If you enjoy being the center of attention when you step out, then you owe it to yourself to check out this Hudson Rat Rod at MotoeXotica Classic Cars today!

About Hudson
Buckle up, folks, because we're about to take a thrilling ride through the incredible history of Hudson, the American automaker that roared through the golden age of cars with style, innovation, and a whole lot of spirit!
Born in the USA:
Hudson was as American as apple pie and jazz music. It rolled onto the scene in the early 1900s, right when the automobile industry was hitting its stride. From the start, Hudson was all about making cars for the everyday American, and boy, did they do it with flair!
Step On It!
Hudson was known for its performance. The Terraplane, introduced in the 1930s, became a legend for its speed and reliability. It was the kind of car that could outrun anything on the road and still have room for a family picnic in the back.
Innovators Extraordinaire:
Hudson wasn't content with just being fast; they wanted to be first. They introduced the "step-down" design in the late 1940s, making their cars lower and sleeker for better handling. It was a game-changer in the automotive world and set the bar for everyone else.
Racing Legends:
Hudson wasn't just about making cars for the street; they wanted to dominate the racetrack too. They stormed into NASCAR and became legendary for their racing successes. Drivers like Marshall Teague tore up the track, making Hudson a force to be reckoned with.
The Hudson Hornet:
When we talk about Hudson, we can't forget the Hudson Hornet. It was a true icon of the 1950s, winning countless races and stealing the hearts of car enthusiasts everywhere. That sleek, low-slung design and the unmistakable hornet emblem made it an instant classic.
End of the Road:
Unfortunately, all good things must come to an end. Hudson merged with Nash-Kelvinator in the 1950s to form American Motors Corporation (AMC). While it marked the end of the Hudson brand, its legacy lives on in the hearts of those who remember the "Fabulous Hudson Hornet" and the roaring spirit of a true American automaker.
So, there you have it, the incredible journey of Hudson, the American underdog that roared through the automotive world with style, innovation, and a whole lot of high-spirited determination. Cheers to Hudson, a name that will forever be etched in the annals of automotive history!
