So your hudson comment got me thinking. I started digging. I now thinks its a 29 hudson super 6. I found a pic where you can see the rivets and body line under the windshield and i think its identical.
I def agree. Maybe theres just enough to build an 1/8th of a ratrod. My buddy thinks we can build a car out of it. Maybe, But i think i can make the back window/sheetmetal into wall hanging mini bar. Hell i bet some hipster with would pay a boatload for it on etsy (or whatever that crafty website is that my wife cant seem to leave) the cowl is cool garage art for sure
Essex is hudson. Basically the 1920s version of dodge and plymouth if i recall. Identical cant remember which but one was a coach builder and one was a auto maker. Like "bodys by fisher" tags on chevy pontiac olds etc in the 70s. Fisher was the coach builder and turned into an automobile manufacturer back then too. Then gm bought them and then went back to being just a coach builder (ie:the factory that only stamps all the panels and spot welds them together, like a dynacorn mustang or camaro shell, thats a modernday coachbuilder)
Thanks, this is good information! I'm starting to look at what late 20's non-Ford stuff there is on both sides of the pond for a long term project I have in mind...
My neighbor had a 1930 dodge brothers that looks a lot like that. His is black with steel wire wheels. First year to have the straight 8. Very cool car and mostly original except for the paint and some pieces being rechromed.
Yes, but what ive found when trying to figure out what model this is, it seems every 20s vehicle had practicslly body styles. Like an rm23 or an rm21. Same car but a Roadrunner thats a coupe or a post. Or a dodge dart. Standard 2 or 4 door or 2 door Sport roof.... technically same carn 3 totslly different vehicles... Take a 29 hudson or essex (Just what ive found so far, )Youve got: 2 door 4 door. 2 door sedan 2 door coupe. Business coupe and the very rare 2 or 4 door cabriolet.... 7 body styles one model.
ya theres. Waaaaaay too much out there. So far ive learned that 1800 manufacturers leaves a ton of rusty metal out in the woods to pick up for cheap. But remember with too many brands causes a ton of rarity which actually means no rarity. 1 of 1 in the bugatti ferrari world means millions of dollars. 1 of 1 (or even 1 of 1000) in the us 1920s car manufacturers only means non exsisting parts to restore it so all youve got is garage art or somethibg to start with in a custom. Why do you think theres soooooo many unidentifiable ratrods. Unless its 1 of the 3 or 4 big name brands, or all original and in 1 piece and with documentation showing it actually exsisted, its almost worthless, until you build something worth a damn out of it
