    A machinist sent me an e-mail asking if I could help identify an instrument panel he believes came out of a 1930 Greater 8 Brougham. Can anyone confirm this?

    I'ts definitely 1930. I'm unsure if Hudson and Essex had the same instrument panel, but I think they did. The same panel was used in all body stryles, unlike 1929 which had quite distinct differences.

    Check with Carl Weber in Massachusetts, he has helped me with a number of items for my '30 Essex. Are you a member of the HET Club? If not, I urge you to join-can be a BIG help. If you are, you should find Carl's number listed in the roster.
