Seeing 66 Dartman's thread on the '47 (beautiful by the way), reminded me of a truck that few know of, but in my opinion is about as cool as you can get for a stock truck. A 1934 Hudson Terraplane. Check the suicide doors, & the fender skirts. These have to be super rare, and very expensive. - Dale

I'll second that! Beautiful truck!
Thanks for posting.

I'd love to see that truck show up and compete in the "Orphans" class at our Inland Mopars all-Chrysler car show next May. Anybody have any contact info for the owner?
 
Gorgeous! Terraplane sounds familiar for some reason?? Maybe I have seen or heard of it on a show recently...
 
37 is my favorite year for terraplanes

Those are really cool! Thanks for the photos. This might turn into a "cool
pick- up" thread tmm
 
Damn, those would make GREAT rat-rods!!

As for my pick for coolest truck, I've gotta give it to the 1990 Isuzu Pickup........ Well, MY 1990 Isuzu Pickup..... ;)

There use to be a 40 Hudson pickup on the est side of Indy. Never seen it on the road only sitting in driveway behind a house. Wish I had stopped and ask about it. It want as cool as the 34, but still a cool truck
 
I've got an original porcelain and metal sign like the photo below that's about 3 ft in diameter. Very cool old sign.

Hudsons were ahead of their time in many ways. The Terraplane had some sort of electric controlled shifter

Here's a write-up, evidently called "the electric hand"
