    I'm thinking Hudson, but I am not sure. It's for sale locally, and I'm tossing this one around.

  2. Could be Hudson or Es***- do you have a pic of the dash (that would help)?

    Not a Buick No lower cowl vents and Hood reveals in the cowl top. Arched door tops too.

    This is a Buick

    its a 28 es***. while it looks similar to the 29 Hudson, the door belt line is not the same.

    Nope, belt line molding on this Hudson is completely different from the OP car.

    Now, look at the '28 Es***. Compare the belt line molding, especially as it moves from cowl to body

    The ribs under the windshield frame are a giveaway, and a neat looking detail, too.

    It's a total oddball, but it's got potential to be something, if the price is right.

    ...Anybody notice the suicide doors??? (all four) Es***, all right.

    Sure would like to have been the guy that got away with those rare Es*** frame rails!

    Very cool, guys, I appreciate the help! I figured Hudson, but the Es*** pics pretty much cement the answer to my question. Now, I have to go check it out in person this week. Thanks again!

    What's cool, is I have the cowl lamps and a couple of other small parts for a '28 Es*** in my box of Hudson stuff!

    I believe the Es*** cars all have steel structured bodies, whereas the Hudsons were wood structured. The body shown looks to be steel structured.

    Note: The Buicks do not have four suicide doors and the hinges are not the long style as one the Hudson/Es*** line.

    Great! Now you know which dealership to take it to for parts and service on the warranty.
