    I Have Seen A 193o Essex On Craigslist That Was Already Chopped Back In The Late 1950'-60's From What The Owner's Say. They Dont Have Any More Info On The Car But I Was Wondering Does Anyone Have Any Pictures Of These Thing And What They Can Be Turned Into. Thanks

    this is a 31 essex, it is the same body as a hudson, 30-31 were very similar. minor changes. hudson had a longer nose and a few other differences. mine is more orignal than a rod, butto give you an idea. [​IMG]

    i really wanted to build mine, but it was just to nice, complete and clean. i felt id be taking away from a piece of history. i just sold it a few weeks ago. if i buy another 30s car it will be a hudson or essex but something i can build.

    Well she's finally on the road, here's a couple of updated pics. Couldn't find a trunklid anywhere so one of my buddies who works at an airplane shop gave me a few sheets of aircraft aluminum, gave me a quick lesson with his riviter and built my own. It aint traditional but it cheap, it's paid for and a shit load of fun. Total cost, under $4000.00.
    I'd like to see some pics of anyone buildin a hotrod out of one of these.

    Okay here's my 31 Hudson Super Six Sedan. I was told it was an Essex but from what I've been able to find out the Essex was a lower line built by Hudson. The way I see it either way it's a Hudson.

    I think I've done something right with this car because it sure gets a lot of attention where ever it goes. It is stretched about 18", lowered about 8"and chopped 3"

    Hudson Hot Rod - I saw your car at the show in Quesnel last week. Hope you and Jim have fun at the flats..

  19. Ive got a couple, though they maybe 28, and im not sure if therye in very good condition. You can have them for price of postage, but may be cheaper to find some on your end. :)

    Just took a look, and they are junk, sorry.

    Go to www.carnut.com and click on picture index. It is probably the best site for pictures of almost anything automotive ever built. You will be amazed.
