You are right about the rose pattern handles. In
fact I have a set of them here for you Paul, was going to bring them over until
my little "glitch" spoiled things.  We have two Briggs Town sedans here in
N.Z. and they both have the rose handles.

Subject: [HSS] 29 Roadster Pics
Posted


     While at the Petersen to
deliver the '29 Town Sedan this past Saturday, I took a few snaps of Glenn
Johnson's 1929 Hudson Roadster. While Biddle & Smart had done the Roadster
in 1928, Hudson used Briggs in 1929 and the cars are very
different.
     The Briggs Roadster has a much bigger
cockpit than the B & S model did. I believe that I might fit into the
Briggs model more easily than the tighter B & S job. Also, there is some
commonality with the beltline molding with my Briggs Town Sedan and the Briggs
Roadster. Both have an elegant curved double beltline. Both cars share the
same non standard 29 Hudson door handles. Can this be a factory situation or
were both cars switched at some point to the same handle, a coincidence that
strains credulity? I have always assumed that the Town Sedan should have had
Rose Pattern handles.
     I have also included a snap
of Perry Spring's Coupe to show the differences in step plate placement. Were
they really different or was one or the other changed over the
years?
