now... why is the bottom line in a language obviously not on an original factory tag?
I noticed that the top of this fuel apparatus says Vacuum Gasoline System
what an exquisite instrument panel
How the running board rubber mat has remained in such incredible condition is a mystery, could anyone be reproducing such a small sales item? Who could possibly buy enough of these to make a company produce them for profit?
Odd that the kick plate is not one the running board, but keeps feet from damaging the alloy (which I think means Aluminum) custom handmade bodywork
this is only the 2nd Essex I've ever seen in San Diego
The runningboard mats are repros, available from K-Gap. The s/n plate is also a repro, but the text is as original (the s/n stamping is done poorly). There were more than five of these made (that story goes with the '31 Hudson boattails) and more than two still exist because I've seen more than two of them. The vacuum tank is not the correct model for 1929, nor is the paint scheme. It is rare and pretty, but why surround it in BS?
ReplyDeleteI love this car, it sure is pretty
ReplyDeleteI also have an Essex but a 31 deluxe coupe
you would be surely proud to own it
Nice
