Jsciort92 Posted November 26, 2020 Share Posted November 26, 2020 Hello everyone! I am new here and let me start by saying Happy Thanksgiving to everyone! We have an old car in our woods and I have never found out exactly what it is.. Or was at one point. I will attach some photos. I am hoping someone here can help. I am no expert by any means, but some things i have noticed, and that you can see in the pictures, are the mounted lights I believe on the lower part of the windshield, the fender curve before the side step, and the color green which i might point towards a manufacturer. The closest I have found is the hudson essex or super six. It has double suicide doors as well. No id plate left. Any info would be great. I hope this is the right spot to post. Thankyou! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fleek Posted November 27, 2020 Share Posted November 27, 2020 hello and welcome. Looks like all the pros at identifying the older models are still taking their Thanksgiving nap. I am sure one of them will wake up soon and help you with this car. To me, it looks like Hudson from about 1929 may be a good possibility, but I am far from an expert on this age car. Happy Thanksgiving and again welcome. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paulrhd29nz Posted November 27, 2020 Share Posted November 27, 2020 The car is a 1928 Hudson. Standard Sedan. The wheels are the giveaway that it’s not an Essex. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paulrhd29nz Posted November 27, 2020 Share Posted November 27, 2020 Opps! I’m mistaken. It is an Essex. I put my glasses on for a better look and noticed the fenders. Graham Man is correct. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jsciort92 Posted November 28, 2020 Author Share Posted November 28, 2020 So even the "parking lights" on the windshield being in different spots (ours is on the lower windshield and this picture there up on the hood a bit) , its still a 28 essex? That what I got it down to. So I guess I did pretty good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
West Peterson Posted November 28, 2020 Share Posted November 28, 2020 It's the remnants of the Joad family Hudson that they took to California in "The Grapes of Wrath." 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
