    From my Hudson Photo web site on MSN, I give you the following:



    1932 was to mark the last year for the Essex. Introduced on July 21, 1932, was it's replacement, the Terraplane. The Essex nameplate wasn't completely gone, however. The new car would be called Essex-Terraplane in 1932 and 1933. This photo shows the introduction of the Essex-Terraplane at the Canadian factory in Tilbury, Ont., on July 21, 1932. Miss Barbara Walker of Toronto, Ont., is shown with the new car at the dedication held at Tilbury shortly after the celebration in Detroit. Behind her is the new Essex-Terraplane. (Carl Weber Collection.)

    Not sure if this is one of them - but the Panel Delivery bodies were supplied by York-Hoover in 1933 - and from 1935 thru 1937. 1938 thru 1940 were supplied by Checker Cab, who also supplied the Model 10 All Purpose and Delivery bodies in 1941.



    Just a little trivia from the chart in my General Information Handbook.

    What Years Was The Tilbury Plant Open? Did They Build Step Downs?

    Hudson built Hudsons, Essexes & Terraplanes in Tilbury, Ontario from the late 20's until Canada joined WW II in 1939. After the war they assembled stepdowns for a few years until the AMC merger. Many HET products were shipped from Canada to international destinations either whole, in part or knocked down, because Canada had better trade agreements with "Commonwealth" countries (U.K., South Africa, Australia, New Zealand, etc.) than the US. Pre-war cars have some Canadian-sourced parts and therefore often differ in small details from U.S.-produced products. There. Aren't you sorry you asked? :cool:

    Let's see somebody come up with one of these - I have a Hudson weight sheet for 1951 that lists, on a 119" WB, a Model 11A Pacemaker Six (Canada) Sedan.



    Another little note in my General Information Handbook, Weight Sheets Section.
