Re: [HSS] White Wall tyres.
And
the same to you and yours, Geoff, and many thanks for all the generously
supplied help and wisdom given to so many of us in the past year and many years
before. You're an incredible asset for the members of this group and Hudsonnuts
generally, and much appreciated.

P.S.:
My late '24 coach, pix of which may be found in the photo section, sports wide
whites, but what do I know? It's also painted black instead of the dark blue it
wore when it left the factory.

Subject: [HSS] White Wall
tyres.
Just re-looking at this subject.
Looking at Butlers "History of Hudson" shows the use of white-walls varies
with the years. Photos of cars up to 1924 include some with
all-white tyres, some with wide white walls, and some with narrow
white- walls,and the last narrow white wall for a time being the 1924
Essex with the '23" high pressure tyres. Then there is a gap until
1932, with all cars showed fitted with all black tyres. Then
some 1932 models are shown with wide white-walls. So perhaps white
walls were available all the time and just not fitted to Hudsons and
Essexes. Who knows? The plot thickens! My
personal preference for my '28 Essex and '29 Hudson, which are both equipped
with split rims on wood wheels, is for black tyres and silver painted split
rims. Compare the pics in the book between '28 and '29 models. '29's came out
with black painted rims. I think the '28 arrangement looked
better. My first '29 Hudson had 18" wire wheels with chrome plated
lock rings, which looked real nice. Best wishes to all for
Christmas and New year,
