ThomasBorchers Posted August 16, 2000 Share Posted August 16, 2000 Yes, I also think that it's an Essex. Model year must be 1929 or 1930. It could be that it's a Hudson but I think the wheelbase is too short for a Hudson. <P>------------------<BR>Thomas Borchers<BR>Member of AACA # 004829<BR>HCCA and MAFCA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldford Posted August 16, 2000 Share Posted August 16, 2000 Yes, it is a 1929 Essex. The hubcaps in '29 were 6 sided while the Hudson caps were larger and 12 sided. The double row of hood louvers are not arched as they were in '30 , so it nails it at 1929. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
