A Spanish fellow posted this picture (and others) at the AACA "Hudson" forum, of a mystery car he's purchased. He believes it's an Essex, though I don't see too much "Essex" about it besides the radiator. My guess is that this was a one-off, built "back in the day" and using parts from many automobiles. However, if you recognize this car please go to the AACA site and give this fellow some help! Here is his post: https://forums.aaca.org/topic/321893-help-identifying-essex-1926/

  • Jon, To start with that's a mopar engine, that whole car is a built up special, possibility used Essex frame, for Essex serial number. In fact 28/29 Plymouth grille shell looks similar.

    It's definitely based on a 1928 Essex Tourer chassis and body.
