This Thing STILL RUNS?!

Join Dan and Bobby as they take the 1910 Hudson Model 20 Open Roadster for a spin at the Fountainhead Antique Auto Museum in Fairbanks, Alaska. This 114-year-old gem is a testament to early automotive innovation and is one of the few remaining preservation class cars, showcasing its original, unrestored condition.

The Hudson Model 20 was a significant competitor to the Model T, boasting affordability and style. Hudson Motor Corporation's early success saw 4,000 units sold in the first year, thanks to savvy marketing. Notable figures like Roy Chapin, who later became the U.S. Secretary of Commerce, played key roles in the company.

This car features an inline-four engine with 20 horsepower and a three-speed slide gear transmission. Unique elements include a hand-crank start, kerosene wick lanterns, and an optional pickup bed. Despite its age, this Hudson still runs like a champ, proving the durability and craftsmanship of early 20th-century automobiles.
