Chad, this is too rare to hotrod. Let's see you show us your restore skills!

What a gem of automotive history! Beautiful connection with the gentleman who took his driving test in her. Would love to see her restored to her stately beauty.

Such a beautiful car Chad! The curves, the grille, windows speak pure elegance and class! This one deserves a restoration/rustoration to make it live once again! I love the custom cars, but this beauty deserves to shine again!

That's a beautiful old car. You can tell it meant a lot to that gentleman. He wanted to restore it. Can't wait to see it cleaned up!! 🍻

Great find on this one. With the history of this car; I would hate to see it get chopped up. This is not mine so I have to wait like everyone else. Keep up the work Chad and Jolene.

I love seeing old junk customized but that car is a time piece gem. After meeting the owner I could never take that car home and cut it up : that car has survived this long intact it should be preserved or restored.

HELLO TO CHAD AND JOLENE ** it’s Sarah, the wife of ‘the guy with the beard (Arron)’ haha! Sorry this post isn’t coming sooner. It was lovely to meet y’all and I’m so happy to see the car getting so much attention and new life. To all the viewers, Wayne is my uncle and he was never told the car was going to a museum. My husband mentioned to Wayne that chad keeps his car collection after he puts his touch on them. Wayne had watched his videos before Chad had even come to see the car. There was no misleading and there should be no hard feelings towards chad as that was never the case. When you buy something, it belongs to the BUYER to do with WHATEVER they can dream up. Our family is THRILLED to see the car coming back to life and my son Isaac has been watching every video with excitement! Hope to see the old Hudson after it’s makeover some day!! ❤ keep up the good work!!

We had an old Hudson that sat in our barn for about 40 years. My dad got it from his grandmother. He drove it for a bit, but he didn’t really like it. He liked V8’s and power brakes. He sold it to a buddy that was into Hudson’s. I saw it a couple years later at a car show. It was nice to see someone using and enjoying it.

Just wanted to ad that I like it when you show us viewers parts of these towns / cities that you drive through ...adds something extra to your videos ❤

Please, please don’t chop it up! It has too much history. Please respect the wish of the 80 y/o guy you bought it from - restore it, doesn’t have to pristine. The patina on the paintwork would look great when cleaned up. Awesome camera work as usual from Jolene.

We have a 1934 Terraplane owned by our family since 1948. It was parked in my Gma’s garage in 1950 till 1990 then we spent over 20 years restoring it to original.

What a treasure ! I subscribed JUST to see what you do with it ! Couldn't be prouder of Chad and crew showing the respect to this family and their grandfather's heirloom Hudson. The grill alone is a work of art. I believe the hood ornament lights up on these old beasts ! Anxious to see the steps you go thru in restoring her. I'm afraid I couldn't have resisted cranking her up and hearing her run !

My first car was a hudson teraplane. 19and 36. Good drivable condishion but missing right front fender. I drove it around the blueberry field one whole summer then traded it for a 1964 chevy convertible with a oil burning 6 cylinder. A good start for a 14 year old boy. Your brings back great memories. Thanks for showing.

Chad we all hands down respect everything you do!! That care deserves to be pristine, like that old man kept it for…you can customize thousands of cars!! But this one…like the old man said please restore it. You would be the man to do it!

I completely understand that this your car your show and your money. I really enjoy your show. Please consider how few of these car still exist. I've read several comments and a lot of us would love to see you restore this beautiful peace of history. You have an amazing fabrication skill . Please consider how rare it is. Thank you very much .

My Dad owned a 36 4 Dr during WW2 and hauled workers back and forth to the shipyard is South Portland Maine for about 4 years. He’d haul a bunch to the yard, they would work about 10 to 14 days, then come home. Working 12 hour days. 36 miles each way. After the war he sold it for the same money because metal was at a premium. Nice nice grille!! Thanks Chad!

Please restore this beauty to its original glory.

This is a beautiful car. I would not modify it at all but restore it. Well maybe modern brakes and a few other mechanicals but that body style with the suicide doors is exactly what I would want.

This one is a real beauty and it looks like it is all there. Please don't cut this one up. SHOW US YOUR RESTORATION SKILLS CHAD, we all know you can do it. It would be nice to see it finished and drive it back to show the family. Bill

Thank you for taking the picture of them with the car. Jolene I now know why he praises the ground you walk on it is your great soul! Chad says it best, I am a lucky man! Chad! God bless you two! 🥲😉

I love watching your creative abilities come alive with your builds, but this one is an absolute beauty in itself! I'd like to see you restore it and keep a similar color as well. So much history in this one ❤️ Thanks Chad and Jolene!

This is a truly beautiful and exquisite car! No doubt it would be a great platform for one of your custom creations but it’s too unique and I hope you will preserve its legacy. If it was a ford or Chevy I’d say Chop Away, but this one is amazing as is. I’d love to see it when it’s cleaned up and maybe even leave the original paint as is.

Scrolling through the comments, it seems that there's a strong encouragement to restore it. It is indeed a unique car, Hudson's were in many ways ahead of their time in innovations and body styles. As you well know restorations can be pricey, especially interiors and chrome work. It's your now, to do with it as you will and envision. I'm glad you are off to Australia for a holiday, it will give you time to weigh the pro's and cons of modify or restore. That horn under the hood is going to sound so cool. The brits used to call them Claxton's. Can wait to see Jim's reaction to it. Thanks to Jolene for another great video. Good to see Fina get her usual cameo appearance.

Why do these folks keep saying they’re glad it’s going to a museum??? I hope they can handle it when the car gets cut up

Here is your opportunity to get lots of respect from your viewers, the previous owner, and yes your haters. Please restore it. Show us your talent we all know you have and your appreciation for a great car that was designed so perfect. Thumbs up from Michigan.

My family once owned a Hudson dealership, so I enjoyed this episode.

Absolutely brilliant, love the Hudson 36 and what a lovely family. Look after it Chad treat it good...Good camera work again thank you Jolene.

Hey there Chad & Jolene, great episode as always! I just wanted to mention that the grill on that '36 Hudson is by far the sexiest, beefiest most amazing grill of any vehicle ever! Seriously fabulous purchase!

I'm a Hudson guy. Owned a 1929 Hudson Hot Rod pick up, and still own part of a 1928 Super six Hudson. 1936 was the introduction of the triple safe brake system. There were 12 different Terraplane models that year, all powered by the six cylinder engine.

You know I never really cared for those old cars til I started watching your show. Now, I appreciate them a little more. Thanks Chad and Jolene 😊

Now that it's your car do what u want with it cause it's your car. It is a Hudson and it is a good lookin car but it is a 4 door,by you workin your magic your making it better looking and more valuable. It seems alot of people in your comments don't understand in the slightest bit. The family u baught it from are so lucky u baught it,u will make it look better then it ever has and you'll keep it and watch over it a long time..what a car that's going to be.

Kind of feel sorry for the man, so many memories!!!

Nice find , Fun Fact, the front ends from the car were the exact same as their trucks used. Watched a special where some guys found a 1942 Hudson pick up up there in Canada around Saskatchewan. Less than 250 built. Gotta a pretty rare find but there are still guys up there in Canada that probably has any parts you might need. I realize you'll make the body but I am talking mechanical or info. Good luck and can't wait to see and watch the transformation. Jolene nailed the video once again !

DO THE RIGHT THING BUD!!.RESTORE EVERYTHING.!!!!!This reminds me of when they told the old French guy on "the green mile" that his mouse was going to a mouse circus befor he died. The old guy thinks it's getting restored but everyone knows how many coat hangers are going into this historic peace of machinery

❤️love how Finna was out and investigating before y'all 😂 and all those who are having a fit about Chad's going to this an that 🤫 it's now his to do whatever he wants 👌 that ole Hudson now has the best chance of getting loved like the previous owner had just in a different direction than planned ...great history makes it more interesting 👍✌️💪❤️

I love the car as is and what a rare piece of automotive history! I will shed a few tears if you cut that one. Jesse James did that to a pristine Model A to build a hot rod lowboy. I have never forgotten that. This would be worse.😢

I agree with lots of fans that it would be a sin to cut the car up. Please let’s see you have it in you to do a restoration. I picked up a 46 Studebaker an was going to doll it up. When I saw it couldn’t do it. Keeping it all original. Runs great and is a survivor. That Hudson is the same. Once it is modified the damage is done and history is destroyed.

As a purist, I would restore this rare beauty back to original condition.

The glass in the front doors of the Hudson Terraplane: in 1965 my first car was a one-owner 1935 4 door Terraplane. My friend had a 1934 Terraplane and her front doors had hinged quarter windows. After you wound down her front door windows you could also wind down the quarter windows if you wanted to have a clear open window. I believe the quarter windows were an option on the '34 and '35. My car had windows like yours and the "tricky" part was after I wound the window up to the top of the door frame the next turn of the winder made the glass move forward horizontally and completely seal against the window frame. When you were making glass for the door you had a gap which you thought would be cured by welding in a piece of steel. Not necessary! The flat piece of steel attached to the trailing edge of the window frame is there to allow the forward movement of the glass and not leave a gap on the trailing edge of the window frame. Appreciated the time you gave on the show to your Australian trip. I don't think Nth Americans are aware of how big the classic car hobby is here. Finally, think you were way too hard on yourself on the front guard placement of the spare wheel. My '35 had a brilliant factory lockable support bracket for that spare wheel.

In HS a buddy had a 1937 Terraplane! Great seeing this one! Brought back good memories!

This car is too rare and cool to modify, please don’t chop it up, I know you can make something cool but this car needs complete restoration, ❤ live in love my friends

One of my fave vids by Jolene! The owner and family sure were great! Fantastic story/history and I really like the 36 Hudson. It went to the right place with you guys...we enjoyed the adventure and scenery and seeing Fina! Best wishes with this barn find what ever you do with it...peace.

WOW chad that’s a pretty slick ole Hudson,,when I was a kid my nabor friend had a 36 Hudson that was given to him from his granpa and we had a lot of fun with it,I was about 16 then,,it was the same color too,,I’m thinking that hood orement had a pice that stuck out the back of it to a point,,I’m happy to see you got and excited to see what you do to it,,thank you chad an Jolene for takeing us along with you agian,,luv ya’s,,👍👍😀

I grew up 10 miles from Pictou . I was born in 1962 ...the same year that the Hudson was put in storage . It has been in storage for my entire life , sitting in the dark cold garage while life went on without it . Hard to believe . Then one day ( 60 years later ) the garage door opened and sunlight shone through and who came to see her after 60 years ..a guy named Bad Chad and his beautiful girlfriend named Jolene . Both of who were not even born yet when the Hudson was put in storage in 1962 ! Cool ! Look after her guys and make her something special !

Nice that the both of you got out and took a break from your truck. And what a great find, 36 Terraplane. See you tomorrow Chad and Jolene.

What a gorgeous art deco masterpiece. The Foghat song 'Terraplane blues' was a remake of an old blues tune that was written about this very automobile. Well played brother... That beautiful blue paint might even buff out.

very nice find. when I was kid in Michigan in the fourties and fifties, Hudson teraplains where popular on short short dirt race tracks, they were hell for tough. That help make then even more rare. that happened all over the midwest.

I love the amazing camera work of your beautiful country. Thank you Jolene

Jolene please dont let Chad destroy this rare and beautiful peace of history.Thank you for the entertainment i enjoy this channel

Wow Chad what a find👍 I wouldn’t do anything but clean it up and get it it mechanically sound and turn heads everywhere you drive it. But I know you ain’t thinking like that 😂 Great job as always Jolene 😍 Hey Fina❣️

This is awesome. When I was 15 my grandfather bought one for me that sat on the side on the road 25 years ago. Mine was the exact same as yours. I restored it as I worked as stock boy. Now I scored a 68 charger a few years ago. I helped my buddies neighbor that's in her 80 open up her garage door and there it was. Her husband passed away 20 year's ago and it's been sitting in the garage. She said I could have it for 1500, I told her it was worth 20k the way it sat. She had no family her kid's. I had to fight with her too take 5k. The only rust is under the vinyl top. I've only change the fuel tank, cap, wires, plug and the fluids and it started up

Hi Chad & Jolene, I absolutely love the long sleek front end, along with the front suicide doors on the Hudson. It is really a beautiful car and should make a really good project. I hope everything is ok with your trailer, it kind of surprised me to see you renting one. I can't wait to see you get started on the project, I have'nt a guess what your plans are for it I know that whatever the project will be, it will be fitting of such a beautiful car. I can tell that Chad is very happy about the purchase of the car! Jolene thank you for the video it was excellent as always. I hope somewhere along the line sooner than later Chad will squeeze in the painting of your Bugatti Jolene, I would really like to see it in paint finally.

Damn ... that 80 year old was shaking ... would be awesome to get it running n get him a ride before its too late ...

That's an awesome piece of history and the adventures that come with it are incredible !!! The history alone would not be able to put a value on it !!! It's a rare diamond in the rough that could be preserved for many more years of adventures in its original style from the factory !!! I would love to have it to just drive around and let people see a very awesome piece of art and history !!! I hope yall will keep it original !!! But little brother and sister are their own sculptures !!!! Awesome adventure and find for sure

Great Find, Thanks for taking us along !!!

Beautiful old Hudson, they were known to be quick in the old days. Have fun and enjoy every moment, I know I would. I have a 31 Ford coupe, which I cherish.

Love this Hudson ❤ Thanks again for bringing us all along on another of your road trips.

Please clean, rinse, repeat 😉 Restoration is needed..... Junkyards are full of potential chop and custom jobs ......... That's a historic survivor....✌️❤️

ALL EYES ARE ROOTED ON THIS 1936 Hudson Terraplane can;t wait to see you bring this back to its original place in the antique business it would be a sin to chop, cut or mangle this car at all. Highlighting that front grill headlights all the way to the sweep of those rear fenders and tail lights would be a beautiful piece of work worthy of its own calendar with a differant pose for each month.

Beautiful picture of the way it was and I think I am happy that you have gotten the car. God bless you two.

Chad/Jolene can’t wait to see what your plans are for this piece bygone beauty. Cars back then had such beautiful character. I’m sure jim will enjoy this beauty. Thanks to both of you for sharing 😊

That thing is a beautiful car! I would love to see you restore it to original condition without chopping it up! Amazing find, please don’t ruin it👍

Poor old guy wants his car restored and put in a museum......Hope he preserves this one.

It still has the old mohair upholstery. My dad had a 1937 Hudson Terraplane when I was a kid!! He also had a 1936 Hudson Terraplane business coupe before that. My sister and I sat behind the seat when we went somewhere.

Hey wow a Hudson ! Finding one is rare but to find one inn great shape is something else . 1936 Hudson wow ! Let's getir done Chad and Jolene Thumbs-up on a new potential build

Hi Chad and Jolene! Congratulations! I agree with some people here: this is such a beauty and so rare, please do not chop it! I know you can restore it to its former beauty!

A man that I was friends and played music together for 50 years, loved Hudson's. We were poor musicians and he never had the money to get it going again. He always mused how he would love to fix it.

Wow, always wanted to find one of these for my oldest boy, Hudson. I got a couple years before he starts driving. Maybe I'll be lucky enough to find one around here.

Chad I can't wait to see what you do with the Hudson. I know you will do it justice. God bless and have a blessed night. Pete from Kentucky

Those folks were so nice almost wanted to wave at them when you left.Great episode.

just like the one i saw behind the barn in some tiny town greyhound bus stop back in '76! looked so cool i had to go take a quick look - Hudson Terraplane! have always remembered that day. good one chad!

When I watch your videos I always feel as if I'm there. Must be be the way Jolene films everything. Great find! Your videos are always a joy to watch. Thanks to both of you.

A very good find. Do as well as you must. Please do a resto.

Wow !!! This is Real Car History !! Amazing !! Restore this Beauty Mr. Bad Chad !!

I like the front end & the front two doos on Hudson tarraplane 👍 👍 👍 👍 👍

I get Chad. I had no idea what kind of car it was. When that thing showed its teeth I fell in love ❤️ It's your car so do with it what you want But this old man would love to see it back if possible.

Uh oh. The customizing bug popped out of me all of a sudden. Forget what I said awhile ago!! LOL That puppy is just begging to be dressed in some pretty paint. And Suicide Doors all around!! I didn't know that. It is in amazing condition.

Thanks for taking us all along.

It would make many people happy to see in parades and car shows all fixed up.

wow chad what a beautiful find! i do believe this car is too good to radically chop or modify. the previous owner would love to see it preserved in its original condition.

What a score! Can't wait to see what you do with it.

What a cool find.. I would do a restoration instead of modifications. Such a great deal..

i think you should restore in the mans memory. what a sweet man. then show it to him. is he vet?

Really nice find, still amazing that these cars are still out there

I think you should ask and do research as to how many of these might still exist BEFORE making a decision as to restore/ restmod or full on custom. Check with some clubs and or registries. I have a feeling it may be quite rare.

Love this old girl - Grille looks so art-deco 1930's, and Hudson made fine cars. Great find. Hope to see you start it up (existing engine). Classic!!!

Great barn find Chad and Jolene, Sweet front end on the 36. Thank you for giving us a bit of a tour as you snagged the Hudson and floated it back home. Yes I'm a bit curious to know what the plan is for your new barn find. You can always sell it to me 🤣🤣🤣🤣

love the front end of that rig!

Chad I chop up every car and truck I touch, and there is no way I would cut up a pre war Terraplane. Good gosh man, that one need to be cleaned and left in tacked as a survivor.

love it and jim will love it i think .thanks for taking us on the road trip .

Yup Chad go to town on this one the 1936 Terraplane! Keep body sheet metal Original front door and forward. It’s a 4 door so it’s all right to make it into a 2 door. This can be a high value Resto Mod if things are carefully done. The floor and every thing else just clear it out. So looking at a frame under the car to start. New floor pan, a 9 inch Ford rear end and fully tubbed for big meats on the rear, transmission 700R4 with a 454, 400 or 350 V8 a new dash and new interior. Resto Mod are would way more then Bone Stock. Yesterday’s body to with today’s performance.

Great Barn find! Can't wait to see that build !

Now you got the " Terraplane Blues"! Really neat car, congats!

Sweet find buddy! Cool people there for sure! Can't wait to see what ya do with it!

What a great find , That is a one in a million . You are so lucky , God bless you and yours , stay well and keep on keeping on . Stuart in Ontario.................................

Chad and Jolene I know it's your money and stuff if you do whatever but I'd rather see keep it original that's a rare fun very beautiful car

The front of this car is so cool. I hope you don't change the front any. It's perfect.

My ancestors from England, landed in Nova Scotia, in 1630, before heading down to Massachusetts, one of them I’d buried there….it is my hope to visit there someday!

My favorite hotrod build so far in my 54 years, is a 1937 Hudson Terraplane pick-up. Dan Dowdy I believe is the builders name. Hands down favorite of mine. Get it Chad! Can't wait to see this finished!

This car deserves to be restored! Would be so disrespectful to cut it up!
