In 1932 Amelia Earhart was given the latest Hudson Terraplane after
speaking at the Auto Prosperity Drive.
In the newsreel of the big event, Amelia Earhart can be seen
christening the new model with gasoline. What is not immediately
clear from the footage is that upon conclusion of the ceremony, Ms.
Earhart drove that very car off the lot. The car eventually went to
auction after the death of Earhart’s husband in 1950, and was lost
-- much like it's owner.
Now, over 80 years after that famous christening, only 14 of the
original Hudson Terraplanes of that year are left. From that day,
it's one of these rare eyewitnesses to history that sits in a garage
where it gets tender, loving care.
