1934 Terraplane

1934 Hudson Terraplane

TheTerraplane was a car brand and modelbuiltby the Hudson Motor Company of Detroit,Michigan between 1932 and 1938. In itsmaiden year the car was branded as the Essex-Terraplane. In 1934 the car became simply the Terraplane. They were powerful vehicles that were used in both town and country. The Terraplanename was used for both cars and trucks.

This is a 1934 Terraplane Business Coupe. The body lines were more artfully graceful than many other cars of that time period. From the shovel nose shape of the grille to the sweep of the front and rear fenders and the sweeping stylish reveals flowingthrough the front fenders, the running boardsand the rear fenders. The wheels were professionally scalloped to match factory wheel designs provided on Terraplane automobiles when new. This car is showing original mileage at 60,300 miles. The interior is original but sadly has areas along the bottom of the door panels and the bottom of the seats where it had become dinner to moths and/or small rodents. A quality upholsterer could correct this problem. This car is not a show car. It is a respectful and reliable driver. I believe that all of the chrome is still original factory chrome except, I believe, the bumpers have been replated but they do have some chrome loss and could stand to be replated again. The body is extremely sound. No evidence of any rust bubbling or rust repair in the past. The car has been repainted at some point in time the original factory black and does have some areas of blistering along the reveal lines and some minute blistering in various other areas. The fender welting is not in the best of shape and could be replaced but is still serviceable as is. The car starts, stops, runs and drives out well. It is still 6 voltsthroughout. This car draws attention wherever it goes.
