Very original example of the classic Super Six Essex. Came of out of the wheels of yesteryear museum in Ocean City Maryland, where it has been stored in climate controlled environment for over 30 years. Has original engine and drive train plus is remarkably well preserved. Essex cars were designed to be moderately priced cars which would be affordable to the average family. Proving durable, their capabilities were checked upon and confirmed by AAA and the United States Postal Service. In 1919 an Essex completed a 50-hour, 3,037.4 miles (4,888.2 km) endurance test in Cincinnati, Ohio, at an average speed of 60.75 miles per hour. The early Essex cars also captured many hill climb records. In a special Essex race car, Glen Shultz won the 1923 Pikes Peak Hill Climb. It had a 108.5-inch (2,760 mm) wheelbase. Initially Essex marketed a line of touring cars (open four-door cars with canvas tops), which was the most popular body style of cars in production at the time. While Essex added an enclosed sedan in 1920, it was the introduction of the 1922 closed coach, priced at $1,495 (equal to $21,064 today), $300 above that of the touring car. By 1925 the coach was priced below that of the touring car. While Henry Ford is credited with inventing the affordable car, it was Essex that made the enclosed car affordable. This particular car does run but has been sitting for some time so really needs a collector that understands and appreciates what it takes to get road worthy again. Overall in quite nice condition and more pictures are avialable upon request. Even has the factory owners manual along with factory parts book. Price: $16,900
