This website is dedicated to the 1929 Essex and is my personal attempt to organize and share as much information as I can regarding restoration & operations.  Over time, many vehicles were incorrectly with regards to year so the 1929 will be considered to be those with serial numbers from 928658 to 1165373 inclusive.  If you have a 1929 Essex and you haven't already done so, please register your car HERE to help keep the HET Roster updated.

What hopefully will make this site unique is the way that I'm documenting what I'm learning as I'm learning it so that other newcomers to the hobby will have a reference guide that doesn't assume anything.  If you've never seen these cars in operation , then the entire historical context is missing and you simply miss out on what others take for granted.  

I take no personal credit for anything posted here other than for the literature marked OCFYP - "Old Cars For Young People"    As I identify from where these documents were originally found or sent to me, I will add that source in a box that will appear when you point to the hyperlink.  To find the website for any given source, click on the SOURCE ATTRIBUTES page hyperlinked in yellow.
