End of the road

If Ray Stevens had his way, the highways would hum with Hudson cars.

Stevens, of Venice Center, has cherished the late American automobile maker's work for 50 years. With his wife, Teen, Ray is a member of the Hudson-Essex-Terraplane Club, whose express mission is the restoration and preservation of Hudson automobiles.

The manufacturer began in 1909 and stayed in business through 1957, shortly after Hudson merged with the Nash-Kelvinator Corporation to form American Motors, which was later bought by Chrysler.
