You know a car is something special when alligator-trimmed wool sun visors" reside on its spec sheet. And this 1949 Hudson Coupe really is special. It"s been heavily breathed upon by Icon, a company we know well for its work turning old Ford Broncos into, um, tidier old Ford Broncos. Crucially, Icon is sympathetic. Tweaks where they"re welcome, a respect for patina and scars-with-stories elsewhere. So we have a 70-year-old Hudson that looks like it has tales to tell on the outside, but is all nice and lovely within. Not least because it has a wholly irrational 638bhp output, categorically more than enough" for a car like this. And thus conversely the perfect amount for us.
