Marquette, MI:
Specker Motor Sales of Marquette, MI
Bernard Specker started as a dealer during the depression in 1930. In '49 he stated, "I made money all during the depression. I still have my health and I am willing to go out and get business... I am betting $75,000 on my future as Hudson dealer and I expect to make my investment twenty times over." After three years of planning, the photos below show the new building and all modern facilities, proving his confidence in Hudson and the business future. He and his staff designed the building to make the best possible place of business for new car and service customers. As a result of their efforts, sales during 1953 were well over the previous year. Specker [said] that "our extra sales were made possible by our new facilities and having the Jet. The Jet is too much under rated by some dealers." Click here for more photos of this dealership!

The Hastings Daily Tribune was also located in the building from June of 1934 until April of 1939.

The Hompes lived in a 1925 [Howard R.Smith]-built Colonial Revival at 3841 Orchard St. that's now a historical home in the area. Their business dates back quite a ways, as a Christopher C. Beck appears as a co-owner from 1915-18 as Beck-Hompes Tire Co. However, years as a Hudson dealer are not known.

Closter, NJ:
Costner-Brown Hudson-Ford, 395 Closter Dock Road, Closter, NJ. Built circa 1910, the Closter Garage as it's commonly referred to, was one of the earliest automobile garages, including parts, new and used car sales, and taxi service. Looking at the cars in the photo, it appears to have become Costner-Brown Hudson & Ford dealership in the teen's. In the right of the picture, you can see a sign in the trees. It's hard to tell, but it says Alpine, which is the town 2 miles East of Closter.
The Closter Garage later became McQuaid & Brown Motors, which was a Dodge dealership. A 11/12/1936 New York/ New Jersey newspaper ad and a 10/13/40 New York Times ad lists a Stagg's Garage as a Hudson dealership in Closter. My guess is that this was the same location under different ownership.

Wilmoth Motors, 74 New Hartford St., Wolcott, NY. Wilmoth Motors began on April 6, 1936 as Wilmoth and Younglove. A bankrupt Chevrolet garage provided the location for the address shown in photo. Wilmoth and Younglove began selling Hudsons and Terraplanes, and later added Mack Trucks to the lineup. Wilmoth bought out Younglove in 1942 around the same time the government put a freeze on any new car sales. When sales resumed, Wilmoth sold their new cars to the local customers as opposed to some dealers who sold their cars right at the Buffalo dock because of the high demand. Morrison "Bus" Wilmoth decided to sell his business to an employee, Cliff Parton, when he saw the 1955 models that resulted from the Hudson and Nash merger. "Bus" sold the building to a marketplace and Parton sold Hudsons from another location until 1956. This information was paraphrased from the Jan/Feb 1989 WTN. Pick up a back issue to read complete story!
Wilmoth Motors building is seen here in a 1988 photo showing a disappointing conversion into a Wolcott Pharmacy.

Red Ball Garage, 142-156 East 31st St., New York, NY (Also sold Auburn.) (1930 Motor Trips Guide book)
The Red Ball Garage gained noteriety in the 1970's as being the starting place for at least one of the infamous Cannonball Runs - if you have not heard about those the idea was to get from New York City to Redondo Beach, CA, driving, as fast as you could. There were at least 4 of these "outlaw" road races - 1971, 1972, 1975 and 1979. Hudson and Essex cars were involved in transcontinental speed runs, so this is an interesting additional tidbit of information.

Dad bought our '37 from Jack Dulaney of Dulaney Auto Sales, in Hammansburg, Ohio. It's a little town about 15 miles Northwest of Findlay. Jack had a little shade tree operation, but sold quite a few cars to the locals. See picture. I also have a picture of the original registration certificate when Dad bought the car and transferred his plates over from the 35 Terraplane. Dulaney had the 37 and used it himself till he sold it Dad sometime in August of 1938. I have 4 more of Dad's registration certificates as well." - Jim Burnside of Ohio.

Oklahoma City, OK:
Unknown Dealership: The Oklahoma City Hudson dealership still retains its previous glory as part of Automobile Alley, which is where the dealers along Broadway were. This area fell into disrepair during the '60s through the '80s, and missed the "urban renewal" carnage of the day. Ironically, it took the Murrah bombing in 1995 to generate interest in the area. The bombing took place just one block West of Automobile Alley, and the blast blew out nearly every window of the buildings along Broadway, including the Hudson building, the Packard, Studebaker, Buick, Cadillac, and other buildings. The OKC Memorial and the resulting cleaning-up of the area renewed interest in the historic district. Some of the dealerships are now loft apartments or businesses. The Hudson Building has an original Hudson dealer neon sign (nearly 10' tall!) inside the lobby and visible from the street. It is now offices, but retains much of the '40s and '50s, especially.

Mierley Motor Co, 115 Union Ave, Altoona, PA started out as a NASH/HUDSON dealership in 1949 and ended as an American Motors store in 1983. The photo was taken in 1958 by the look of the cars displayed parked inside and out of the showroom and garage area. Click here to view a Javelin invoice.

Aumiller's Garage in Beaverton, PA
After his Honorable Seperation from the U.S. Army after his WWI overseas tour, Charles Aumiller built this garage at the East end of town. This snapshot was taken about 1920. It is hard to see, but the high sign says HUDSON-ESSEX. Also, notice the car to the right of the photo. Charles was easy going and extended too much credit, and was forced out of business in 1930, when Guy Narehood and Dave Rowe bought this business and named it the Super Service Garage.
In 1946, after WWII, Charles Aumiller open a Sunoco gas station which he called the "West End Service Station", and continued to operate this franchise in Beavertown until 1951. It was located in a nice one story building which is now 520 West Market Street. He also operated another Sunoco station in Middleburg during 1947 and 1948.

The property was purchased by Anson Sharpnack in 1922 for the purpose of erecting the building to house Sharpnack Motors, a Hudson dealership. Although the Sharpnack family owned the building until 1968, when it ceased operation as an auto dealership, the business itself was sold in 1943 to the chief mechanic, Josepeh Clarchick. It was then renamed Clarchick Motor Co. which sold the Hudson brand until the merge and then continued on as an American Motors dealer under the brand of Nash/Rambler. The current owner of the building is in the process of restoring it! Suggested Sites: Burough Officials and Ten Mile Creek Blogspot

Wright's Garage, Carolina, RI. H.L. Wright sold Hudson's dating back to the '20's before becoming a American Motors lot. The first photo is circa 1941-42. They also sold Desoto-Plymouth at the time, but sold far more Hudsons. The picture on the right is circa 1972. Although the AMC sign is on the other side of the building, a Hudson sign also remains against the wishes of AMC. The color photos are current.

The Dallas Hudson Co., 510 N. Pearl St., Dallas, TX.
Smith-Swinney Motor Company, 1012-20 W. 7th St., Fort Worth, TX. This building was directly across the street from the Firestone Building. It was constructed in 1927 with a Spanish Colonial Revival facade; designed by Fort Worth Architect Wyatt C. Hedrick. to house the Smith-Swinney Motor Company which sold Hudson and Essex automobiles. It was one of the car dealerships that lined Seventh Street for several blocks between Summit Ave. and Henderson Street. From 1929 until 1962, the building was home of Mastin Motor Co. (A SEP.57 directory had this listed as a DeSoto dealership.) When Mastin closed, the ground floor storefronts were remodeled and the building has been used by a variety of tenants since that time including the Forth Worth Shaver and Appliance Center. In recent years, the building has been vacant and some partial demolition of the upper floor has been done recently after a 2000 tornado wreaked havoc on the structure. The current owners of the property sought permission from the City of Fort Worth to demolish the building. The building lacked a roof and was generally in bad repair. According to an article in the January 12, 2006 (page D1) Fort Worth Star-Telegram, the city delayed demolition of the building for six months in hopes of finding a use for the property. It was completely demolished on February 23, 2007.

Bennington Garage, Main St., Bennington, VT (Alsp sold Federal automobiles.) (1923 Automobile Blue Book)
Williams and Bugbee, 945 East Main Street, Bennington, VT. This unused postcard is believed to date from the late thirties or early forties and there are several International trucks pictured. This dealer sold Hudsons after World War Two, but may not have had that franchise when the card was printed.
Williams and Bugbee is shown again in this later photo. It's believed to date from the late forties or early fifties as it appears that the nose of a Step-Down is peeking out of an open garage door.
