drhudson Posted July 10, 2012 Share Posted July 10, 2012 (edited) Please help me identify this engine/chassis. Thanks Robert Blake <rvb9549@aol.com> Edited July 10, 2012 by drhudson add email (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trimacar Posted July 10, 2012 Share Posted July 10, 2012 Reminds me of the old courtroom drama, one lawyer had used some unusual tactics to win the case, and the opposing council came up to him and loudly stated "How could you act like that, where's your ethics?" to which the winning lawyer replied "Parked out next to your Hudthon, why?"..........The radiator looks like an early 20's style, obviously Essex, do you think the engine is different than Essex?

Layden B Posted July 10, 2012 Share Posted July 10, 2012 Exhaust manifold looks Chevrolet. Rear axle may be Model TT Ford truck worm gear.If you were to post the make and models of starter, generator, distributor someone could probably look them up in an application manual.

drhudson Posted July 10, 2012 Author Share Posted July 10, 2012 Thanks. Starter etc were stolen while on trailer at motel overnight bringing it back. Has OHV with single bolt in valve cover if that helps. Found what looks like chevy bowtie embossed on right frame rail with #848532 on one line and "17" below that. Thanks.

Guest Al Brass Posted July 10, 2012 Share Posted July 10, 2012 (edited) Engine is '28 chev 4 and it looks like there are a few other Chev bits too. The cowl, instrument, pedals and gearbox all appear to be Chevrolet.Al Edited July 11, 2012 by Al Brass (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trimacar Posted July 10, 2012 Share Posted July 10, 2012 Glad that it got identified, not an Essex doodlebug as you mentioned to me....a point well taken...you can put a radiator on an assemblage of parts, but that doesn't mean that what's back there matches radiator.....

paulrhd29nz Posted July 11, 2012 Share Posted July 11, 2012 very cool looking! I see nothing that is Essex 4 except the rad. What are your plans for it?? Im looking for an Essex 4 radiator. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drhudson Posted July 11, 2012 Author Share Posted July 11, 2012 I am not sure. Paid a lot to get it to PA from Wisconsin, thinking it was (as advertised) an Essex, to put in my Hudson Museum.The radiator itself may not be correct to the shell. Look long and carefully. If I plan to cut it and scrap it, I will let you know. Use my real email, rvb9549@aol.comPS Will be at HET National. What year rad do you need? Shell too?

Or was it a Snit? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
