Re: 1933 essex terraplane. John Dillinger's favorite car
Hudson used chromium nickel blocks much harder than cast iron that everyone else had,The Terraplanes were to compete in the lower price field.Parts would be much harder to find than a Ford.From what I have read in the book Public Enemy and also online research they would buy cars for a job ,A 1932 Studebaker still exists from one of the bank robbery . I had a chance to drive a 34 Terraplane it was comparable to Fords of that era.
