Junkyard Find: 1952 Hudson Wasp Four-Door Sedan

The American Motors Corporation was formed by the merger of Nash-Kelvinator and the Hudson Motor Car Company in 1954. The Hudson brand went away after 1957, which means cars bearing the name of the founder of Hudson's Department Store are tough to find in junkyards today. I managed the feat on a recent trip to a Northern California car graveyard, and here's the car.

Redapple2 I have love for the Challenger, Wrangler (untarted up) and the best Pig Ups on the market. Ram. Thats it.
Jalop1991 I had the Chrysler van, PHEV, 3.5 years old. We were going to go a different direction, and get a Bronco. I asked Carvana and Carmax, how much will you buy this from me for? They each gave me a number--the same number. I drove the van to the CDJR dealer and asked; he gave me a number significantly lower, something like 19% lower. I said hmmm, ok. I told him I was looking at Bronco; he said let's go look at Jeeps. Sure. WOW, those prices. What, made of gold? ✔️ So: lower trade by far, higher price by far. Yep. We went and got the Bronco. Ford knows how to unweld those tires from the lot.
