Artifact Overview

Essex Motor Company was formed by Hudson Motor Car Company in 1918. Essex debuted its first models the following year. Its mid-priced cars sold well. When Essex introduced an affordably priced closed car in 1922, it spurred a general move by consumers away from open touring cars to closed models. Hudson phased out the Essex brand beginning in 1932.
