On Sept. 24 I travelled to a small town called Pettitcodiac, which is about 20 minutes outside of Moncton, NB. I had heard about the estate auction of Booie Jackson, a long time Hudson fanatic, from my Hudson friend in Ft. McMurray, Martin Tabbert. There was a lot of good stuff at very reasonable prices, but I was limited to what I could bring home on the airplane. An NOS 37 Hudson front fender sold for $50.00 Canadian would have been nice to have, but it probably would not have fit in my suitcase. NOS fenders and trunk lid for about a 1940 hudson sold for less money. I talked with the fellow that bought 3 front fenders, one was NOS and the others were nice, for a short wheelbase stepdown. If anyone is interested in these I can put you in touch with him. There were dozens of hubcaps and other items sold by the lot that were almost free.
One interesting item that didn't even get a $5.00 bid was an NOS stepdown windshield frame with the original tag from the Tilbury, Ontario plant. I purchased a radio unit for our 36 Hudson without the control head for $5.00 and a variety of lenses and smaller trim pieces. The cars sold ranged from parts cars to project cars to a 1920 Super Six limousine that sold for $10,000 and a 1937 model 73 Hudson Six touring sedan with 39,000 miles sold for $6500. These last two cars had not run since 1992 and interestingly were not even washed prior to the sale. Overall it was an interesting sale and you can't beat the hospitality of the Maritimers.

I was very interested in this auction...you could register to bid online, but I didn't get my registration in on time. The '20 limo that sold for CDN$10,000 appeared to be an outstanding buy.
I was most interested in the NOS 1940 radio controller that sold for CDN$40. Do you know who bought it? If so, please Email me at sjackson@nhra.com
