Definately Essex 1931.

Since Geoff was involved, you likely have a '29. ( 27, 28 and 29 are all similar BUT different. )
All cars have unique items that can be daunting at times. The '29year for Essex was the largest selling quantity of cars. Therefore more parts can be available.
Items to keep in mind: Interior door handles had screw in escutions, The Marvel V carburator is a one year model, the steering wheel HUB must be replaced, due to likely fracture.
Goeff has hubs for '28 's and Gary Lynch ( of CANADA ) has '29 hubs.
Talk to Goeff and likely he will encourage membership in the Hudson Essex Terraplane Club.
Best wishes

I have repeated problems with water jacket bolts. The bolts protude into water cavity and have from 1/4 to 3/8 inch of heavy rust on the threads exposed to coolant. Engines are from 1929, 94 years old.
Of the 16 bolts I typically have 8 broken bolts. ( 16 on the last two engines )
When the water jacket covers are removed, the amount of rust after the years is excessive for uncrewing the headless bolt. I have had to resort to carefully drilling, a torch and then re tap.
//////////////////
I have wondered how well the inductive heating works on cyl head studs with exposed ends in water jacket. To see if it might be an option for my persistant problem.

I find it entertaining your position. 25 years ago I was lambasted by some on the Board of Directors of the AACA for even considering creating a website or a discussion forum, because the Internet was just a passing fad, and had absolutely no value to the antique Auto hobby.
In addition, people thought that the Internet was simply just a place where spammers and Pornography existed. Here we are 25 years later, and this forum is proof positive of the positive results of useful technology, even for antique automobile enthusiasts. Yes, technology changes over time and yes, there are problems with technology. Just like there are problems with automobile pollution, safety needs, etc.
Need more time to be able to select the "winning CUP" emblem.
I can never clicket in time.

I have been researching the Briggs Mfg Co, pertaining to bodies they supplied to Hudson during 1932-1933. I recall reading that Briggs converted Hudson and Terraplane coupe bodies into finished convertible bodies. This would explain the severely chopped windshield on these convertibles,as well as the Briggs Mfg tag found ONLY on the convertible firewalls. I assume it was less expensive to chop the tops of of coupes rather than build a special conv only body, since the convertible coupes were such a low production number? Special thanks to the AACA Library and Matt Hocker, for trying to answer my questions,but there is a shortage of info on this relationship between Briggs and Hudson! Can anyone shed some light on this coupe to convertible conversion?
1929 Essex Rumble seat Roadsters had Briggs body tags on passanger side lower front of cowl.

Sorry, my skills in posting pictures is insufficent.
The picture of the older origional plugs just will not post properly.
Are you are looking for the older style plugs or more recent plugs to just drive.

Looks more like a flood light, or a light to aid others to see you.

Help me undwestand your car, a 1914 B-37 touring car is not clear to me.
The plug you listed is a lot newer than 1914, it may be a close or correct replacement. If I know your make, model, eng, perhaps there maybe info to help ID the proper plug.
However the plug you list has some conversions.
AC C 78 L Looks like AC Corolox 78 Long Commercial.
A very HOT plug, likely to burn off oil and soot on plug.
Thread is 78 with 15/16 hex
per my old charts: conversion
Champion 3-Com
Edison 31-T
////
also Champ. 3-Com and 22 and 20 a little hotter is Champ C-4
