Essex was basically a Hudson on a more economical scale. Hudson engineers were very good at what they did and the Essex shares from this same gene-pool.

Based on the pictures, I not sure exactly what parts you feel like it will need but consider the fact that 1932 was about the last year for the Essex, ....and there is no Berts, Snyders, Brattons, etc. for reproduction Essex parts. When you own an orphan car, you generally are forced to "restore" what is there instead of 'replace' parts.
