Technical What Is This?

Do not recognize this car. Long piano style hinge has me stumped. Ideas?

 

27 28 Chrysler or DeSoto.

 

4 minutes, HAMB is lagging

 

Piano hinge dodge

 

It's not a Chrysler Product.
It's 1929 Hudson Super Six Sport Coupe!

 

The body looks more like a Es*** or Hudson , the Chrysler & Desoto has conventional doors not suicide. HRP

 

I think you nailed it !! 1926 Hudson Super Six!
Thank you!

 

Piano hinges were common on Es*** and Hudsons of that period.

Yep, got a friend who's building a Es*** as we speak....

 

A 1927 Norwegian Framastat saloon, quite rare !

 

You all beat me to it. Es*** was my first observation having owned a 26 Es*** 4 door sedan many uears ago.

 

While I am far from a Hudson or Es*** expert... but the OP pic is no 6 cylinder car. The hood length is that of a 4 cylinder car, and is likely no different in size than a Model A. Maybe if Hudson made a 4 cylinder model...?

 

1929 Es***

 

Those are heavy spoked wheels which mean they were built for faster speeds.

 

I think you are wrong here Kevin. Compare the pics...........................
(By the way, I have a '28 model Hudson Super Six.)

 

my 27 Es*** "The Joker"

 

They were obviously in bed together...or it's damn near copyright infringement...

Were there different models as aluded perhaps a straight 8 and 6...there was a ton of that going on then that's for sure...

 

Hudson also produced the Es*** as a smaller, less expensive option. In the late '20s and early '30s they were both an inline six. Here are the wheelbases for comparison.
1928 Ford Model A................103.5"
1928 Es***...............................110.5"
1928 Hudson Model S............118.5"
1928 Hudson Model O...........127.0"

 

Well Grumpy now we have @arkiehotrods tossing in a 29 Es*** which looks pretty much alike and I see the Es*** has 6 sided Hubcaps where the Hudson looks round...and then there is the shorter hood...the OP pic does look to have non round perhaps 6 sided caps...

 

I think @arkiehotrods is on the money. I would think '29 Es*** is it. Still an inline six though. Remember, the Es*** is pretty well just a baby Hudson. Still larger than the Model A 'runt of the litter'.......

 

@gbgh I think you have to get excited twice now because it's a 29 Es*** as presented by @arkiehotrods...ding ding ding...congrats Arkie!!

Arkie is that your Es***?...soon to be Hotrod......Montana Dodge Boys have a Similar vintage Dodge 3 Window and it is a real sharp Hotrod running a Supercharged Inline...it was chopped very mildly to give it that look of the Vintage advertising they presented at that time...The Artists always seemed to take those oldies and give them a more likeable Stance and pleasing Rooflines...

 

Psychedelic man...I've shared your ride before...I'll bet they're a bit more roomy and perhaps a better riding Hotrod with the bigger wheelbase...

Do you have a build Thread Ratster?...I ask as I like to update the pics I share as I find the roots...

 

This is the defining feature that answers the question. Well spotted Stogy......
