Have you tried Google?

"Hudson Terraplane" might prove more fruitful...

Is that the same as Railton?

Railtons were all eights, were they not?

I'm not totally sure but I think all Terraplanes were 6s.

Peter Hitchin's car is based on a '34, from memory, even if it later wore later bodywork as modified by Properts Body Works. Saw the poor old thing the other day too, it's a long time since it's run. He has three blocks there ready to select one to build a new engine.

Apparently in 1933 only, you could buy a Terraplane 8 with a smaller version of the Hudson 8.
