I can't help with specific info on the Essex cars as I am more familiar

with the Hudson models. IF the '29 Essex shares the same set up with the

Hudson, the ignition switch is connected to the coil with a bit of armored conduit

making it one sealed piece. This was called an Electrolock and for the Hudsons

at least, is VERY tough to come by. I have been looking for years without

finding one. I just replaced the switch with a generic auto parts store unit and

the coil with a standard 6v universal coil. It works fine, and very few can

tell it's wrong.

Can anyone help Werner out with an Essex rim? I'll bet you find one of

those as there were so many Essex cars around. The Hudson equivalent is a

tougher nut to crack, however!
