Thanks Sonny Hoskins! My dad had a 47 Huson in 1950, which I introduced to a fire plug right in the middle of the grill. It wasn't long enough after WW II for late model cars to become available to the publc. I woke up after 73 hours awake and a late date with my foxy girl friend from New Boston, Jeanette Weddington, now my wife of 63 years next month. I was on my way back to McConnell Ave. from New Boston. I remember stopping at the red light on Rhodes Ave. in the terminals. I must have made the right turn and a left turn shortly then another red light and a left turn to meet the plug within about a tenth of a mile. It hit the Hudson's grill right smack dab in the middle. I have never been a drinker, but sleep overcame me. The water was gushing like a Yellowstone geyser, and I thought "Gosh! There can't be that much water in the radiator. Dad had to drive the junky 39 Chevy for a month which I had just purchased while the Hudson was repaired. My brother, Bud, two years older, was very mad because he mostly drove the car and cleaned and polished it constantly. but dad didn't say a cross word to me.
Dad, Forest Earl Kegley - N&W conductor, and I guess all of his kids loved Hudsons because he did. My two year younger brother, George, would buy this 46 model if you could lend him a dollar.
Thanks again good friend!
