[AT] looking for small / interesting tractor to restore.

[George Willer]

I remember the Terraplane, but never drove one.  I remember a different
Hudson pretty well... the Hornet.  I dated a girl whose father owned one,
and at times he insisted I drive his Hudson instead of my Ford.  I liked old
Van.  For a mere 6 banger that Hudson was awesome!
