Vehicle Description
GR Auto Gallery is pleased to offer this beautifully restored 1929
Essex Four Door Standard Sedan. It was purchased new for $795 from
Sutton Sales Co. in Saginaw MI. The car was owned by the same owner
and was daily driven until 1973 when the Michigan Department of
State suspended his license due to health and age. Included in the
sale is a copy of the ticket he was given in 1973. The Essex made
it 82,000 miles with same piston rings and bearings. During the
winter the owner kept it in a shed with a coal burning stove in
order to keep the car warm and when he drove it in cold weather he
threw a blanket over the hood to keep the car warm. The Super Six
comes with original title with numerous stamps for registration
over the years, various owner's manuals and books, original took
kit and jack. It is not very often a car comes with such an
impressive history such as this.
In 1929 a larger and faster six cylinder was introduced with 161
cu.in. displacement, 55hp and top speed of over 70 MPH. Also in
1929 a wider, roomier body was developed, 2-shoe self-adjusting
brakes, hydraulic single-action shock absorbers, chrome plated
exterior trim, Triplex safety glass, adjustable front seat and
larger tires. In 1929 Hudson/Essex was the third best selling
car.
In 1999 the Essex Super Six changed hands once again and the new
owner decided to bring it down to bare bones and give the car the
complete restoration that it deserved. The car was professionally
painted in its original Gazelle Brown and Seal Brown with cream
colored stripe and black fenders. The interior was also completely
redone to original condition and shows incredibly well. The
drivetrain was also gone through and painted. This car is
immaculate in every aspect.
