Aaron Grieve’s stunningly detailed 1937 Hudson Terraplane Coupe captured onlookers over the entire event. The incredible detailing in the paintwork with multiple layers of pin-stripping and graphics mixed with the metal flake paint finish was an absolute stand out on every show day.

The dumped, chopped and slopped body slammed to the ground on air bags accentuating the long sleek curves of the body and the slender long bonnet splitting the air as if an actual aero plane. With the full leather interior, nothing in this build was left as standard and the word “custom” being the name of the game here.

Sporting a late model L77 engine and auto transmission, this Hudson needed a few upgrades to match that. An XJ6 s2 front end was fitted to them chassis rails along with a ford 9” diff and disc brakes all around to pull this piece of auto-art up just nicely.

The incredible amount of hours gone into creating this piece of art is truly believable when you check out the standard of the finish.

When the sun hits this paint finish, every sunset you can imagine comes to life right in front of your eyes.
