Vehicle Details
AI Listing Summary
This 1920 Essex Model 5A Touring has been tastefully uprated for long-distance touring with modernizations like an alternator and distributor, and a modified rear end for higher speed. While sympathetically restored and kept in nice shape, it requires some recommissioning before extensive use, having not been actively driven recently.
Condition
7
The car has been sympathetically restored and mechanically gone through some time ago and kept in nice shape since. It has been modernized with an alternator and distributor for reliability and the rear end has been modified for higher top speed. However, it has not been used actively in recent years and a bit of recommissioning is recommended before long distance driving, indicating it's in very good condition with minor attention needed.

Hudson the Detroit department store magnate who funded the new marque of Roy Chapin and Howard Coffin, positioned itself as a premium marque almost from its inception in 1910.
