My friend scored it in the woods at a friends, wanted to use it as lawn art, (for his neighbor to look at) so looks like its a 30-31 hudson or essex?? The firewall is in nice shape but cowl is rough as u can see



Sorry for the lack of pics at first guys idk what the problem is again thanks 56Ponchowagon

I dont believe the deck lid is there but the hinges for it are and thats why we figure it opens backwards or to us it is, idk much about these cars i will see whats left and let ya know i dont mind helping another hamber or Hot rodder out.Any other info on this ??


Thanks again 56ponchowagon

 

Definitely Chrysler, not sure about exact year but early '30s.

 

If it was an Essex it would have come from the factory with doors that were hung on piano-style hinges. These hinges were long and sturdy. That was a big sales feature for them. Essex adds showed pictures of people hanging on the open doors to indicate that they wouldn't sag. They probably used the same hinges on Hudsons, but I just don't recall for sure. I can't tell from the picture if I see the remnants of any hinges at all, but maybe someone with better eyesight, or a better monitor, can say. If it looks like it had regular hinges, then I'd have to go with Chrysler or DeSoto.

 

Here's a '30 Essex coupe for sale on the HAMB last year.

Oh, Hudsons and Essexes had dual cowl vents, too. Check out the firewall in the photos and compare with the link choptvan provided. SAME firewall, Hudson or Essex, not Mopar.

It also has that v on visor in middle
