My Dad worked for a Hudson dealership after the war. They used to drive up and pick up new cars and drive them back. He always called the Terraplanes, Toledo Vibrators. They shook the **** out of them at speed coming home I guess. He drove Hudsons for years up until they quit making them. He then bought a 56 Plymouth Savoy. Mom insisted on buying Pontiacs after they were married, The owner of the local Mopar dealer pissed her off the first time she went in and she never went back.
