Xander Wildeisen Posted May 18 Share Posted May 18 Looks like a good one. Is it common for these cars not to have bumpers? I have seen a few of these early cars with no bumpers. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kar3516 Posted May 19 Share Posted May 19 Generally this era of touring car doesn’t do much for me but I find this car very attractive. Perhaps the size of the tires/wheels and the proportions of the body makes it look more solid and slightly aggressive? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have seen a few of these early cars with no bumpers. Except for a few high end marques (Pierce Arrow began in the early 1910s!), most automobiles bumpers were after-market until about 1925 or later! They became factory optional for a few years for most common cars, and standard equipment in the late 1920s. My 1927 Paige 6-45 sedan has its original factory optional bumper (a Weed product!)! I have an original 1927 salesman's ready reference book, and many magazine ads showed the cars without bumpers still in 1927. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blauvelt Posted May 20 Share Posted May 20 The more I learn, that could be a fun touring car with the right gearing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That Essex properly sorted will do 50+ mph all day long again and again and again with factory gears. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AzBob Posted July 18 Share Posted July 18 Looks like a fair price to me as well. Noticed several fair priced pre war cars for sale recently. If I only had more room. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StillOutThere Posted July 18 Share Posted July 18 As an old Hudson guy, who in fact owned and drove an unrestored '22 Essex Coach (2 dr sedan), IMHO this is a great price for a survivor car (appears far better than what I had) and for the uninitiated, the Essex 4 cylinder motors and resultant performance are absolutely top rate for their price class and above. I.E. THATS A DEAL. I'm just getting too old to "do it again". 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leif in Calif Posted July 18 Share Posted July 18 I never to a chance to discuss cars with my grandfather, but as far as I know, he only had two. The first one was a Regal underslung. the second one was an Essex very similar to this. Based on his first choice, this car must be a good performer. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
