Here's a higher resolution version: https://momentcar.com/images/essex-four-1922-9.jpg Handwritten caption says 1929 Essex Convertible Coupe. 1929 does seem like a better fit, but I'm still not sure. It does look a lot like this 1929 Essex Challenger Six Convertible Coupe, notably photographed in the Netherlands: https://www.flickr.com/photos/cars-and-people/51185106044 Okay, yeah, there we go: Link to "classiccars.com" - It's a match. -- Last edit: 2024-06-22 20:54:58
