    I am looking for the chrome parts for the front end of a 1933 Terraplane. Shroud, grill, emblem and ornament. Any out there that is available?

    Brownie - send me an e-mail & will give you names of guys who might have what you want. Whether they'd sell anything I don't know. They don't want their names "bandied about" on the internet so won't post that info here.

    Also is it a 6 or an 8 as have different emblems?
    If an 8, do you have the correct radiator?
    What body style is it?
    Yesterday mailed out a used water pump + 2 NOS water pump packing glands to my crony who recently bought a T8 conv. & has a leaky water pump.

    I am looking for a fuel pump for a 33 T8 as well as a shift knob. Sorry to hijack the thread but I figured its all parts for the same model :)

    Thanks,
    Matt

    I have a friend who is looking for a 1933 Terraplane Six radiator badge to finish off restoration of his English- bodied Terraplane Sports. If anyone turns up more than one badge, please contact me.

    Oldhudsons,
    I cannot make the PM work. I need to register somehow? Would you drop me a note at browniepetersen@readytek.net

    By the way, I did some measuring at a friends house yesterday and found that a 1927 Essex grill would be a perfect fit for my project. My donner car is a 1929 roadster pickup (Not the Hudson brand). I like the look with the shutters and a nice dog bone motometer. I think the 33, while one of the best looking front ends is a bit too modern for my setup.

    Brownie,

    Obviously not a 33, but this older NOS radiator shell is for sale. It is early Essex, but not sure exactly what year.

    Based on another posgt this is most likely a 24. My neighbor has a 27 Essex and the grill on his car is a perfect match for what I want to do. I guess I am now looking for a 27?

    That black one above is '24 Essex.
    The '27 Essex is rounded. Also, '27 Essex and Hudson are the same. Identical.

    Brownie, I know of someone who has a complete 27 grill & radiator, but he may not want to part with it. I will inquire...
