Yes, that is certainly looking more like it. I'm not up on Hudsons but did find a pic of a different model Hudson that had a lot of the features but no split screen. Forgot to copy the link so can't show it. Your find does seem to fit the bill. Well done if it is it.

Another one for 'Tony B' - an elusive sand coloured Dodge doing a bit of 'meet the Brits' at some Roman (?) ruins in Tunisia.

 

Well, that one I recognize - I've been there. I was in the Peace Corps in Tunisia (renovating Roman water wells) during the last Arab-Israeli war...even had a Land-Rover to drive!

 

That's the amphitheater at El Djem. Built circa 50 AD. Seated about 40,000 and replaced an earlier one that had been dug out of a nearby hilltop. Notice the use of poured concrete in the arches that would have supported the seats. The place was in use up until the 1870's or so when the locals decided to rebel from the Ottomans and figured this would make a dandy fort. Apparently, they forgot that the Turks had artillery....

 

Nice pics...thanks....
