Help to ID 1927? Essex Dashboard
-
I've posted what I think is a 1927 dashboard on my Essex multi-year identification cue webpage but I'm unsure if it is a 1927. If you have one of these cars, could you take a look and confirm.
Equally, if you have a picture for any of the missing boxes on the pages, I'd be appreciative to receive them so I can complete the page for others who are trying to ID stuff on E-bay or elsewhere for their restorations.

Yes, that is the correct instrument panel for 1927. Incidentally, the 1927 Hudson had exactly same panel, apart from having a Hudson badge.

I got a real nice steel 1929 Hudson-Essex tail light off ebay a little while back and paid $68.00. Its painted black and I think its nos with NO cracks like my others made from brass. Looking for another to have them chrome plated. You looking for a picture of a steel one for your site ? Ron -
Ron, mere detail I know, but the steel tail lights are actually 1928 vintage. Apart from being made of steel, and therefore liable to rust , they are almost identical in shape, but the lower curved glass is slightly different. I made a new "glass" out of the curved section of a soft-drink plastic bottle. Easily replaceable, and nobody has ever noticed it! Paradoxically, I have had more trouble with the 1929 brass lights, as they are quite thin and tend to work harden with the vibration, and develop cracks around the periphery of the housing and rim.

Actually, that's the detail I'm looking for.
Thanks all.
