As discussed yesterday FAB1 has to be one of the most famous cars in the world.
Well, maybe to a certain generation like ours!
Although less well known, Gerry Anderson's universe included another Rolls Royce, the Hudson from TV's Terrahawks. It could change colour, drive itself and speak.
Now the Hudson is not a car I personally know and only stumbled across a toy one at a boot sale in the last 10 years. Even then I didn't know what it was and have only realised later.
Here it is carded released by Bandai as it has appeared on Ebay.

You can read much more about it on David Sisson's terrific site including how he made one!
You can see it as it appeared on TV on You Tube as part of the Big Finish productions promos.
Have you got a Hudson?
The Hudson reminds me of the modern beast of a Rolls, the Phantom that I see on the roads here from time to time. More like an armoured car than a Rolls to my untrained eye, its certainly a spectacle!
What do you think of it?

as an utter completist, Ive got a Hudson. little pull back version above. have to say its as unremarkable a toy as you might imagine. it doesnt really shine in the series, either
ReplyDeleteWonder why they went for that Rolls design in Terrahawks?
