Essex Terraplane

This car was on the Railton Owners Club stand at the Northern Classic Car show at the G-Mex exhibition centre in August 1992.

It's a 1932 Essex Terraplane, built by the Hudson Motor Car Company in Detroit, Michigan. From 1934 the car was simply called a 'Terraplane'. The Terraplane chassis and engine were also used on the British Railton car built by the Fairmile Engineering Company in Cobham, Surrey, hence the appearance of this Essex car (and also a Hudson) on the stand of the Railton Owners Club.
