My Pick-Coolest Truck Ever

[DSG Duster]

Seeing 66 Dartman's thread on the '47 (beautiful by the way), reminded me of a truck that few know of, but in my opinion is about as cool as you can get for a stock truck. A 1934 Hudson Terraplane. Check the suicide doors, & the fender skirts. These have to be super rare, and very expensive. - Dale

I'll second that! Beautiful truck!
Thanks for posting.

I'd love to see that truck show up and compete in the "Orphans" class at our Inland Mopars all-Chrysler car show next May. Anybody have any contact info for the owner?

Gorgeous! Terraplane sounds familiar for some reason?? Maybe I have seen or heard of it on a show recently...

I believe the Terraplane was a Hudson product

I used to have this truck, wish I still did.

There use to be a 40 Hudson pickup on the est side of Indy. Never seen it on the road only sitting in driveway behind a house. Wish I had stopped and ask about it. It want as cool as the 34, but still a cool truck

I've got an original porcelain and metal sign like the photo below that's about 3 ft in diameter. Very cool old sign.

Hudsons were ahead of their time in many ways. The Terraplane had some sort of electric controlled shifter

Here's a write-up, evidently called "the electric hand"
