I am interested to know what kind of car is shown on the stamp of the Colombian Private Mail comapany "Garage Hudson". Any hints weclomed. It could be a Hudson car out of the name but I am not sure about that.

That was my first thought, too, but I checked Wikipedia, and they were not released until late 1923, and the cancel sure looks like 1921.

No, the postmark is from 1924! Unfortunaly, during these years, all cars looked more or less identical...

The stamp is from a private courier service that ran only between Cartagena and Barranquilla in about 1926-27.

The website incorrectly describes the car as a Ford Model-T, but what kind of car it is, I don't know. It looks like a US-made touring car, but the details are too ambiguous to be certain.

After looking at the website a little closer, the stamp you posted appears to be the same as from the website. Is the website yours?

1920 Hudson tourer.

The side wheel is incorrectly drawn
making the door inoperable.
