#3 Dean Hoak’s 1936 Hudson Terraplane
Joe Martin and the team at Martin Brothers Customs had one advantage when they started building this 1936 Hudson Terraplane pickup for customer Dean Hoak. These trucks are so rare that they automatically capture people’s attention. Not only that, but the Art Deco grille and front sheet metal are simply striking.
That said, the starting point for this particular project was a rough one, so Joe and his crew had their work cut out for them. Additionally, both Joe and Dean felt the original design, particularly the rear of the truck, could be improved for better flow and style. The good news is that the Martin Brothers team, whose talent can be seen on the Iron Resurrection show on Motor Trend TV, was more than up to the challenge.
