1927 Essex Super Six

If you aren't familiar with the Essex brand of horseless carriage, don't worry, these aren't exactly falling off trees nowadays.  TL;DR version: The Hudson Motor Company of Detroit built the Essex brand from 1922 through 1933 as their affordably priced compact line of cars using similar construction techniques as the more luxurious Hudsons.  Find this 1927 Essex Super Six offered for $10,500 via cars.com.  This post is part of DT's 2016 Birthday Celebration of 100 cars; enjoy the ride!
