ICON 4×4 Revives 1949 Hudson as Part of Derelict Series

ICON 4×4 revived a barn-find Hudson and reimagined the vehicle as a high-tech Nashville daily driver. Its time-earned body patina hides modern mechanicals and a bit of rockabilly attitude, made even more boisterous by a 638-horsepower LS9, four-wheel independent suspension and custom hand-dyed alligator upholstery. See it in the Optima Batteries booth #20323 at the SEMA Show.
