BODY MANUAL
In the event a new NUMERICAL body color is used in two-tone combination with an old ALPHABETICAL
body color, the option stamping will appear as below:
Brazilian Blue Opalescent (New) 1
Jersey Blue (Old)
This will be the only occasion when both SINGLE body color options used in two- tone combinations will ap-
pear stamped in the right hand front door upper hinge.
Like any other automobile repair operation, the damaged body must have a preliminary survey to determine the
over all extent of the damage. When the survey has been completed, the answer to three vital questions will be nec-
essary before work can begin.
Can you repair the damage?
How much will it cost?
How soon can it be ready?
The accuracy of your answers to these vital questions determines whether or not your shop gets the repair job
and whether or not you make any profit on the job if you do get it. Guessing won't do----that way you lose repair
jobs, or lose money on them if you do get them. A successful future for your business depends upon the correctness
with which you answer those three important questions.
The service departments of all Hudson distributors and dealers are supplied with current service parts catalogues
from which a listing, by PROPER NAME and PART NUMBER, of the parts required can be formulated.
From this list, which includes the proper car IDENTIFICATION NUMBER taken from the car serial number
plate, the Hudson parts manager will be able to arrive at an estimate of the cost of the job, from which a definite de-
cision can be made before ordering the necessary parts.
To be certain that the proper repair parts are received with the least possible delay, it is important that the fol-
lowing car identification be included with each repair order.
CAR SERIAL NUMBER PAINT CODE MARKINGS *
*The paint color code is the alphabetical stamping on the right hand front door upper hinge, body half.
By supplying this information you are enabling those who make up the repair parts order to include the correct
parts. Thus delays, such as would be encountered upon the receipt of the wrong parts, are eliminated, and consider-
able time is saved.
