K-GAP? Are they still in business?
I ordered from them last month, no problems at all and I used paypal for my internet order. Patience will pay off.

1933 Hudson Phaeton
That '33 is certainly unusual,is that foreign design coachwork? Still,I would love to see a '33 Major Eight Brougham, as NONE are known to survive! Hope someone can prove me wrong....

It is close enough to me I will drive my '54 Hornet over there (weather permitting) to enhance the Hudson experience. I'd like to buy it all, but reality sets in......

1933 Terraplane tire questions
Thanks Alex, that's a great reference link. My car is a KU, but I'm not sure what makes up a "Special"? It looks as if those 16" wires were a one year only wheel! I will likely need at least 2 nice wheels (mine appear to be…

positive or negative ground
My '33 is negative ground, I'll bet yours is also, but I won't "guess". Do yourself a favor and round up a spec sheet (single page,both sides full of mechanical and electrical specifications) on your '30 Essex,they are …

Thanks for the help here. I really miss the days (before the big auto parts chain stores and computerized look ups)of old time independent owned parts stores with long forgotten parts on dusty shelves, and the parts clerks that knew how to find thos…

Thanks. The pic was actually a 33'ET convert, it must have had a 36 engine in it! So the jacket in the original pic shown will work? Does any one have a actual 33 they can post a pic of?
