The car underwent a comprehensive two-year restoration by Davis Restoration, a well-known Hudson restoration shop. The listing mentions that the restoration was carried out to a very high level with attention to detail. The body was lifted off the chassis and carefully prepared for paint in Midnight Blue, and the correct woodgrain color was used on the interior with new fabrics matching the original. Optional extras like a Motorola radio clock, interior heater, dual fog lights, and dual exterior horns were fitted. After restoration, it was displayed at the 1986 Hudson-Essex-Terraplane Nationals in Denver Colorado.
