    I purchased this body the other day and it is pretty rough but cool, I haven't seen to many two door sedans with suicide doors. The hinge is like a piano style hinge. I really don't have any idea what it is, hopefully someone can help me. Thanks

    My best guess is around 1923-1925 Essex :cool:
     
  4. Yup...Both Hudson and the smaller Essex line used both suicide doors and piano hinges making these bodies some of the strongest of the era.

    It's a '27 Essex. the bodies were even more square prior to that year, and '28-9 had a body line on the cowl.
