Oh, the class lights. Tsk.
Also, so far as I recall, all Scullin-equipped NYC Hudsons (5 of the original 10 Century "Dreyfuss" Hudsons - and one J1e, the 5344) had roller bearing rods.
If I wasn't already Hudson-poor, I would have probably jumped on one of these. The class lights are an easy removal and filler procedure (have done it on a TMCC J3a).
The photos are indeed handsome - like the Hudson.
