The 1937 Hudson convertible has to be one of the most beautiful autos ever manufactured. Even with all it’s beauty, one cannot help but notice the rear quarter winow made of canvas and ising glass. Apparently at that time the engineers hadn’t yet figured out that window configuration and how to make the glass roll up and down. That just doesn’t seem real!!

The Erskine was built from 1926 to 1930 in South Bend, Indiana as a subsidiary of the Studebaker Corporation. It was named after Albert R. Erskine who ran Studebaker from 1915 until 1933. Due to corporate financial problems, Mr. Erskine took his own life in 1933. The Erskine was originally intended to be in the low priced field, but at an average price of $975.00, it just couldn’t do very well as a Ford at that time ran about $500.00 and a full size Oldsmobile was $1195.00. 22,275 Erskines were produced in 1928 and featured a 3 speed transmissiopn and a 6 cylinder engine that developed 18.15 horsepower. This production number included all models for 1928.

This 1927 model truck was destined to be among the last of the Ford Model T trucks in that the 1928 Model A was introduced in the fall of 1927, making the T a relic of the past. This picture is a fine example of the T of that era!

As a footnote, Mr. Erskine took his own life in 1933 due to financial problems of the corporation. The Erskine was originally intended to run in the low priced field at an average price of $975.00, competing with the new Ford Model A at $500.00 and a full size Oldsmobile at $1195.00. Production of the 1928 Erskines totaled 22,275 including all models. It featured a 3 speed transmission and a six cylinder engine developing 18.15 horsepower.

This picture was taken at at a Mt. Vernon, Wa. car show. They don’t come any nicer than this one!!

Pictures of 1931 Pontiacs are hard to get ahold of-lucky us!!

This is one of many 1931 Chevrolet Roadsters I have on this site

The 1929 Fords were very much a makeover from the 1928 models. As near as I can tell, the main difference was the taillight design. 15 colors were offered in 1929-a far cry from way back there when all black was the game with Ford. The 40 horsepower engines were the same for both model years which was double that of the 1927 Model T. It’s a good thing that for once Henry listened to son Edsel and went along with him to produce the Model A.

This well preserved automobile is the property of a very distinguished gentleman residing in Helena, Montana. When asked, he is always the first to lead a parade and has done so many times over the years. He especially enjoys doing the high school kids Vigilante parade every spring carting around the highschool royalties-the King and Queen of Helena High School, Helena, Montana. The vibrant colors of this 1929 beauty, green, yellow and black really bring attention to the royalty riding in the rumble seat!! The kids love it!! So does he!!!

The 1952 models were really made over ’51s. Body designs were the same, the main differences being the grille and placement of body chrome. The dashes were idendical. The 51’s had a choice of 8 colors as opposed to 13 for the ’52s. The colors of the car pictured are Admiral Blue over Twilight blue. Production of 52’s was down 21.5 percent from 1951 due to the Korean war which accounts for our seeing more ’51s around than 52’s. I can tell you from personal experience the 52’s were very durable as were the 51’s as I owned both models.
