First I would like to thank you for all of the great info on your website, it has been very helpfull and informative.



I am going to try and regester my Essex before I start dumping money into it. I think it is a 1932 K Pacemaker w/ a 106" wheel base 2 door sedan. My s# is 356971 which is just after the ending production #'s for 1932 on your site and before the start #'s for 1933. The emblem (badge) by the lower door jambs is an upside down tri angle with a pentagon woven through it and an H in the middle and at the bottom it says Hudson super built. The s# matches on the front axle' right rear frame top and the real small plate on the fire wall. Maybe it is a 32 and a half ? I was wondering what you thought.



If any one else has any idea please chime in it would be very appreciated.



See the pic's thanks, Joe

Hi Joe,

And congratulations - you have found one of the dreaded typo's in the 1932-1933 Essex-Terraplane serial number list: 1932 E-T Pacemaker serial number 350000-354124 should actually read 350000-364124.

As I've said every effort has been made to get everything correct - but we are dealing with (at the moment) around 280 some pages in my "General Handbook for Hudson Built Automobiles" and errors do creep in from time to time. As soon as we find them, or somebody is nice enough to tell us about them, we correct them, if need be.

In doing this research I tried to find as many sources as I could to try and get things as accurate as I could. Many, many times sources, even among Hudson publications did not agree. So we finally settled on if we could find, say, three sources, and could get two that agreed - that's what we would go with. Sometimes, further along in time, we found other sources, especially since we've gone on line, that might verify what we had, or maybe changed the information we had.

Since going on-line 8 or so years back we have found a lot of material and so the Handbook, and the on-line info, has expanded. Every time I think maybe I should just let go of this thing and let it ride as is, I seem to find something more that should be added. Case in point - going thru another members literature collection we found sales and other bulletins between 1935 and the 1950's that contained information I thought might be useful - so it went into the Handbook. Things like factory bulletins listing shipping weights, accessory weights, things of this nature, among other things. More pages.

And so it goes. Thanks for the heads up on the web site - I'm in the process of moving the technical stuff off my old MSN site and putting it on freewebs.com web site. We're getting there.



Hudsonly,

Alex,



Thanks a lot for the good news, what a relief. Now, since the pink that came with it dose not match the s# of the car that will be a different hurdle at the DMV.



Thanks again for all of your efforts. Joe C

Joe, Is that the front end of a '50 Pacemaker I see on the left side of the second Photo?
