Thread: 119 inch wheelbase recommends

Tweet

I'm looking for a donor idea for my hudson. Originally considered a 76 Lincoln Continental, but the wheelbase was 120.4, too long for my comfort. Never stretched a chassis, don't want to learn on this project, so looking for a straight donor. Anyone have any ideas? Prefer something before 1977 in case I need to worry about title transfers.

I wouldn't worry about 1.4 inch difference. That's less than 3/4 in. at each wheel. No one will notice. You didn't say what year Hudson. If it's a pre-war Hudson the Lincoln frame may be too wide. The front of a Lincoln frame is massive.
Check out some older mid size GM cars like a Monte Carlo, Buick Regal or Olds Cutlass.

I think the Chev Impalas were 119" wheelbase. Cars s/b of similiar wt. Don
