Looks like a '30 (round rear window, cowl lights, radiator louvers, headlight bar). From my experience, and what you described...if you could get $5000 or $6000 for it - that would be reasonable, if you can get more- that would be great. I know…

What to look for? 1930 Essex
Sounds like a rare car. Mine has a single sidemount, and there aren't many of those around, much less a dual sidemount. A club member has a '30 R/S Coupe and he has a set of wire wheels to go with his original wood wheels-wire wheels were …
