I am guessing late '20's Essex. Note rear hinged doors; a Hudson trademark.

A buddy of mine has one of these open air hoists behind his shop, and uses it each fall to oil (rust protect) customer's cars before winter. We live in the southern Ontario rust belt where municipalities use salt to melt road ice. This annual rust protection helps preserve our cars from the tin worm. His hoist is neat, in that he can drive the customer's car on the hoist, do the spray job, turn the hoist 180 degrees, and drive it back off again.

My next door neighbor owned a Chevron gas station when I was growing up. He rebuilt the station in the 1980s and out came the center shaft hydraulic lift that had been in use all those years. It turns out that when it was pulled from the ground, it had no concrete foundation, was just sitting on a piece of wood laying on the dirt down below.

The first fully hydraulic automotive lift was invented in 1925 - Around that time, this is how the lifting was often done . . .
