Name/Title

1924 Essex Coach Sedan

Description

Permanent roofs were not a common feature on automobiles before the 1920s. Essex produced a closed-roof automobile, the 1922 Essex Coach, that was popular because it was only slightly more expensive than their open-roof model. In 1924, Essex introduced this sedan with a six-cylinder engine. It originally cost $975, the first six-cylinder car for under a $1000. Also known as the "Essex six series," this car can hold five passengers, has a 110.5" wheelbase, L-head engine, and weighs 2305 pounds.
