Dave Mellor NJ Posted January 16, 2019 Share Posted January 16, 2019 Most of the house shaped rad shells are Essex while most Hudsons are rounded and most Essexes and Hudsons are closed cars with suicide doors in that era. This car is labeled as a 26 Hudson Super Six Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saltbush Posted January 16, 2019 Author Share Posted January 16, 2019 (edited) The Aussie bodies don't seem to have the suicide doors. (or is it only the closed bodies that have them?)

This car is labeled as a 26 Hudson Super Six That one might be labelled as a Hudson, but it is an Essex. Note the round radiator badge. The Hudson has an inverted triangle. The Hudson is also a much bigger car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Essex cars probably used a 'standard' body by Holdens, also used on Fiats amongst other things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saltbush Posted January 16, 2019 Author Share Posted January 16, 2019 (edited) I think those are all 1928 photos of the body works. Bottom one was tagged 1928. Edited January 16, 2019 by Saltbush (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
