This is a 1956 Hudson Hornet "Special Eight."

This car has the first AMC V8, as well as standard shift with Overdrive.

Sal and Jim from in Bayshore, New York are the men in charge of the body and paint. The car is brought down to bare metal to reveal the condition of the car under the paint. It appears to be very good, except for a drivers side front fender bender which Dr. Sal's will repair correctly.
