Exotic Classics is proud to present this handsome 1929 Essex Super Six Town Sedan featured in Black with Tan mohair interior. This car has been completely restored to show condition.

Essex was a division of Hudson. Production was in a former Studebaker plant. The Essex brand established a strong foothold in the marketplace courtesy of several AAA records in durability and hillclimb events. Essex was early to recognize the growing interest in closed cars, offering Americas lowest-priced version starting in 1922. At $1,495, just $300 more than a touring model, one could purchase an Essex four-passenger coach. By 1925, the coach was priced five dollars less than the touring car and sold well, contributing significantly to Hudson being the third-largest producer of American automobiles in 1929. In 1933, the Essex name was dropped in favor of a new model called the Terraplane.
Specifications include a 55 hp, 161.4 cu. in. L-head inline six-cylinder engine, three-speed manual transmission, front and rear semi-elliptical leaf-spring suspension, semi-floating rear axle, and four-wheel Bendix mechanical drum brakes. The Wheelbase is 110.5 in.
The 1929 Essex line was officially known as Essex The Challenger and was debuted with a week of Hudson-sponsored public performance challenges hosted by dealers nationwide. In addition to the robust 55-horsepower engine, the car now boasted more important styling, with a larger radiator shell and broad beltline molding that recalled its Hudson cousins. Our handsome town sedan is a rare, enclosed two-window model, and features chrome headlamp and cowl light housings. Drive and show with pride and confidence.
