A Hudson through the roof

An accident is always something sad. If the car involved is old it´s even sadder and if the old car was brand new when the accident occurred... good Lord! This is what appears to have overcome the brand new Hudson seen here halfway through the roof of a little hut. Ohoto 2 shows the broken pieces of a railing, too, as well as the ceiling surrounding the unfortunate car, so we can guess what happened here.

The Hudson appears to be a brand new car judging by the bright paint and the covers on trunk and spare wheel. The colour combination could be white-black or even a more attractive pale yellow-black. Probably like this 1928 model? No further information accompanies this set of photographs, but the 'SS' number plate does give a clue: these photos were probably taken in San Sebastian (Pais Basque, North of Spain), and more specifically in the port zone of the 'Urgull' Mountain. In this place there is a high road which runs along the hillside and above a group of old houses, as you can see at the left in this picture. What an infortunate Hudson!
